Drew Peterson's Trial *FIFTH WEEK* part one

[LaLaw2000]

Prostate again?

He does have some sort of problem or he wouldn't have to go out of the courtroom so often, IMO.

Either it is incontinance or a nicotine habit. I don't care which, lol, but this is ridiculous!

Unless you thought he was guilty and wanted to protect one of your own...

Exactly. And i hope the jury can put that together.

 

[~n/t~]

In Session The parties are heading into the courtroom. We should be resuming shortly.

#drewpeterson Savio divorce attorney Harry Smith still hanging around outside the courtroom, still hasn't been told if he'll testify


Poor guy. I picture him wandering aimlessly in the hallway. :floorlaugh:

And while he is out there, he knows the judge and both sets of attorneys are arguing about his upcoming testimony...poor guy.

#drewpeterson prosecutors begin cross examination of Sgt. Collins, who is now retired.

 

[~n/t~]

In Session The jurors are now back in the courtroom, and attorney Greenberg announces that he has completed his direct examination of ISP Sgt. Patrick Collins. Prosecutor Koch then begins his cross. “You don’t know how the house looked prior to your arrival?” “That’s correct.” “You did not take these photographs?” “That’s correct.” “Sgt. Deel uses a flash when he takes photograph?” “I would assume that.”

 

[~n/t~]

In Session The witness repeats that Savio’s hands were bagged to collect any possible evidence. “You know that sometimes the hands are bagged and yet no evidence is collected? “Correct.”

Sgt. Collins says there could be a struggle and no physical evidence left. Collins says Savio death was "my first homicide." #drewpeterson

 

[~n/t~]

In Session Sgt. Collins repeats that he was looking for signs of a struggle at Savio’s house. He is shown a photograph. “There’s a can of carpet cleaner?” “Yes.” “You said you looked at this photo and didn’t notice any pictures knocked down?” “Yes.” “There is something knocked down on that dresser, like a picture that’s knocked down?” “It’s down in that picture.” “You were asked about regarding the people who went into the house and found Ms. Savio that night?” “Yes.” “And then you were asked if they were ever re-interviewed?” “Yes.” “It wasn’t until the case was reopened that they were interviewed again?” “Yes.” “That was several years later?” “Yes.” “Did you talk to them when this case was reopened?” “No.”

BBM: I LOVE that!

 

[~n/t~]

In Session That concludes the cross-examination. Greenberg begins his redirect. “When there’s a struggle, sometimes there’s evidence an sometimes there’s not?” “Yes.” “And there were no signs that night that Ms. Savio had been in a struggle?” “No.” “Did you see signs of a struggle on Mr. Peterson?” Objection/Sustained. The defense asks for a sidebar.

I'm surprised the defense hasn't objected. Maybe they just don't want to draw attention to it.

 

[LaLaw2000]

What was wrong with that question??

*Should have quoted ~n/t~. That was in reference to her post.

 

[~n/t~]

In Session The sidebar ends. “When you spoke to Sgt. Peterson, you looked at him?” “Yes.” “You didn’t see any signs of a struggle on him, either, right?” “As far as I can see, no.”

In Session The witness is shown a photograph of Savio’s bedroom. “Did you see any broken glass there?” “No.” “Would you have noted that somewhere?” “Yes.”

In Session The State has no recross for this witness. He is excused, and leaves the stand.

What was wrong with that question??

It was the prosecution who objected to it.

No further questions for Collins. He steps down as #DrewPeterson defense prepares to call next witness.

 

[LaLaw2000]

Still, I don't see why that question would have prompted a sidebar. The defense asks for a sidebar.
