Cop admits mistakes in Savio death case
January 22, 2010
<snipped>
Collins took the stand today during a hearing to determine what hearsay evidence, if any, should be allowed in Peterson's murder trial.
Collins said a crime scene technician considered the death an accident, and that assessment colored his view of what happened because he had never investigated a murder before.
Collins also admitted he broke with normal protocol and allowed Peterson to sit in on an interview with Stacy Peterson, who gave Peterson his principal alibi for his whereabouts in the days before Savio was discovered.
Police interviewed Stacy Peterson for one hour on March 3, 2004. She said she and her husband had spent the weekend with the children, backing up Peterson's statements made to police a day earlier. She said they had spent Saturday hanging around the house and had gone to the Shedd Aquarium Sunday. The only time Peterson left was Sunday morning to get doughnuts. Savio was found the next day, a Monday.
