The Rev. Neil Schori said in a recent interview that Stacy Peterson had told him Drew Peterson had admitted killing Savio. That statement prompted Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, to say in a TV interview that "I've heard rumors there was some connection there" between the pastor and Stacy Peterson.
"The libelous accusations made by Mr. Brodsky are completely unfounded," Schori said in a statement Thursday in which he also called for Brodsky to "cease further slanderous comments."
Schori, though, declined to comment further.
Brodsky on Thursday shrugged off the threat of a lawsuit from Schori, saying he never contended Schori was involved with Stacy Peterson.
"I didn't say if there was any validity to it," Brodsky said. "A good lawyer has to check out everything and keep an open mind."

IMO, a
good lawyer (is that an oxymoron?) checks things out, but he doesn't make it public unless he finds something. Something that Brodsky obviously forgot. Brodsky is to defense attorneys the same as DrewP is to police. He makes them all look bad, and in my opinion I didn't think defense attorneys could look much worse.
