CLOSING ARGUMENTS (Tues 09/04/2012)

[fifteen89]

Mr. Lopez ........<snipped by me>
Jeffrey Pachter, the sex fiend, deadbeat gambler . . . his story is nonsense, and he knows it. <snipped by me>

BBM
O.M.G.
At least Pachter was closer to the girls age than DP is to Stacy and his girlfriends. Pot meet kettle. And that's a stretch.

In Session &#8220;You have police backup when you do these wellness checks. Instead, we have a woman and a 14-year-old boy going in there. Why? Because he knows what they&#8217;re going to find in there. He hears this loud scream; he goes into the house . . . he&#8217;s got a scream, he&#8217;s in uniform; it should be his duty immediately to spring up the stairs . . . once he gets upstairs, you heard Chris Koch&#8217;s description of what goes on there.&#8221;

Jury sent out while Steve Greenberg objects, says prosecution claiming 2 incidents Savio had w/Drew, not claimed that before...

:bigfight:

 

[WindyCityGirl]

In Session “You heard what Mr. Lopez said about Mary Parks . . . you know she had met Kathy Savio at school. And just before Thanksgiving, Kathy Savio appeared at school wearing a fleece pull-up . . . she saw marks on her neck, and Kathy Savio told her that Drew said, ‘You should just die.’” Objection. The parties approach the bench for a sidebar.

 

[borndem]

I was going to post the same thing. At first I laughed but then I got angry. Does he think this jury is STUPID?

bbm

No, probably just the 5 women -- they're enuff to hang the jury.... Right??

 

[katydid23]

Objection is overruled. It was about Mary Parks' testimony and the number of threats she said DP made against Savio....

judge said Savio friend implied there were two incidents because she gave an entirely different date for the incident....

objection is overruled. Judge calls for jury.

n Session “Stacy wanted to squeeze money out of Drew by spreading a rumor, or a campaign of rumors . . . when that all failed, she came up with, ‘Oh, I’ve got something on the Bolingbrook Police Department.’ Campaign of rumors, campaign of lies. Let’s twist it to make it a homicide. We don’t do that in America . . . put someone in a target and do everything they can to get him. You don’t have to like him. You can hate him. You have to like America . . . the Framers of the Constitution would barf at this evidence! There’s nothing but doubt in this case. Mary Parks completely contradicts Kristin Anderson . . . people get on the TV and lie, just like they do in this courtroom . . . people lie when it’s for their own agenda . . . it doesn’t matter what was said to poor Rev. Schori, who had to bring a chaperone . . . because if it’s not a homicide, it doesn’t matter . . .we suggest to you that it’s not credible.”

BBM
Not sure they'd barf at the evidence but pretty sure they'd be rolling their eyes at your closing.

 

[WindyCityGirl]

n Session The sidebar ends, and the jurors have left the courtroom. Attorney Greenberg puts on the record the defense objection to this line of argument. Prosecutor Glasgow responds, says that Mary Parks &#8220;saw red marks on her neck . . . and she told her that Drew Peterson hold her down and said, &#8216;You should just die.&#8217;&#8221; The judge overrules the objection, and sends for the jury.

 

[Lera213]

PT slammed dunked in my opinion...I vote Guilty as SIN!!! I wish we could throw his attorney's in jail too for a bit for how they trashed the victim, and brainwashed those kids!

 

[fifteen89]

In Session “The State gets the last word, if they want. They don’t have to have a rebuttal, if they think their case is so great . . . they go last because they have the burden of proof . . . I just ask you to do one thing: growing up as a kid, I never got the last word in with my mother, never! But think what our response would be to their rebuttal . . . what would Lopez and the others say? That’s deliberations. You’re going to go back, and then you can start your deliberations. You don’t have to come back at 5:00. You can come back whenever you want to . . . but when you go back there, I want you to think of that, how that lawyer [Harry Smith] laughed in this courtroom. Think about that!” That ends the defense summation.

BBM
Yeah, and ditto to the DT. You could've (maybe should've) not presented a defense. Coulda woulda shoulda.

Wow. I'm in shock that this was the DT closing.

 

[Bravo]

Poor Poptarts. They must be sick beyond words with it.

 

[katydid23]

Judge tells Glasgow he has about 30 minutes left to make his case ...

Glasgow calls Kristin Anderson a "religious person." Defense objects and judge sustains.

Glasgow: Anderson testimony backed up by phone records.

 

[WindyCityGirl]

In Session The jurors are now back in the courtroom, and prosecutor Glasgow resumes his rebuttal. &#8220;Again, clearly Mary Parks was talking about an incident at Thanksgiving, 2003, not the July 5 incident. Yet you were told that it was the same incident. Kristin Anderson came in there and testified she lived with Kathy Savio for a couple of months, and she moved out on the 25th of November. That&#8217;s just before the incident that occurred with Mary Parks. Kristin Anderson indicated she had a heart-to-heart conversation with Kathy Savio . . . she&#8217;s a compassionate person, and she and Kathy were having a heart-felt moment, at which time Kathy told her Drew Peterson had said to her, &#8216;I could kill you, and make it look like an accident.&#8217; She made three separate phone calls to the State Police . . . the records are there . . . she never got a call back, until much later. So she made effort to report it, and it fell on deaf ears. She made that effort to call. I think a lot of people wouldn&#8217;t go that far.&#8221;

 

[fifteen89]

They could have been disposed of where they would not be found or seen. Why would he throw them away where others could see them?

Why take the chance they could be found?

I'd rather take the chance that clean clothes were found as opposed to bloody ones with my dna on them. But that's just me.

Be well.

 

[borndem]

Depends?

I wrote the same thing in a reply, then changed my mind. I was too :chicken: to post it!!! (Bwaaaak, bwaaaak, bwaaaaaak!!!) Hangin' my head.

 

[WindyCityGirl]

In Session &#8220;Anna Doman testified her sister told her just a few weeks before she was killed that Drew Peterson said, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to kill you&#8217; . . . that statement rings true. And that&#8217;s what happened when Kathy and Anna had that conversation. Susan Doman also had spoken with her sister, and was told the same thing Kristin Anderson was killed, that Drew Peterson said, &#8216;I could kill you, and make it look like an accident.&#8217; We know how rare these drownings are in tubs, these accidental drownings . . . the evidence shows Drew Peterson drowned her; it was made to look like an accidental drowning.&#8221;

 

[katydid23]

judge sustaining several objections as Glasgow tries to talk about death scene investigation.

Glasgow: " w/in 10 min of being there - evidence technician Deel determined it was an accident, & everyone went from there."

 

[fifteen89]

He can be both if thats what you want him to be. But having been a cop for as many years as he was, I have to give him a little more credit than that.

:smh:
He's not the first cop that thought he could get away with killing his wife. I'm sure he won't be the last.

 

[fifteen89]

Did he get teary eyed when he said the bolded part? This guy has issues. Good lord. When did this become about him and his mother? :lol:

And the tv shows he likes.

Well, I can now say "I've read a Joe the Shark Lopez closing."

I can also say imo it certainly did not live up to the hype.

 

[Wishbone]

You're sure right
