Drew Peterson's Trial *FIFTH WEEK* part two

[katydid23]

What was the perjury testimony that the prosecution feared from the attorney's testimony?
I never read what that was regarding.

REally confusing...

Harry Smith testified [ I think during the grand jury or a pretrial hearing...] that Stacy wanted to know if she could get more $ in her divorce if she threatened to tell about Drew killing Kathleen.

The DT wanted that in so they could show the jury that she was making it all up just to get money from the divorce. They wanted to prove that she was going to perjure herself.

But it backfired on them big time. :dance::dance:

Instead, the witness answered that Stacy told him that DREW MURDERED KATHLEEN and would that help her in the divorce...lol

Grrrrrrr.

Seems to me the PT should be able to call anyone they wish.... What reasons will the DT give for the judge to have reason to disallow this witness? And which one of 'em will make the argument? Another side show, IMO.

I'm not really sure why the DT doesn't want Baden called. We know they'll bring up that Fox News hired him to not just make the news but for the autopsy result they wanted (homicide not accident) and the girls-gone-wild crap too. They have the ammunition to 'dirty up' Baden. Can't imagine they aren't chomping at the bit to use it.

Did Mr. Smith actually contradict what he had said previously or did he just never say the pure truth so clearly before?
To put him on the stand to show that Stacy was a money hungry woman looking for the best slant in a divorce proceeding to gouge her husband of more money when they knew that she had told him that Drew killed Kathleen???
I don't get it.....I guess they will blame Harry Smith for not having contacted the police about the matter too, in the same way that they did Rev. Schori.
That was attorney-client privilege though.....Mr. Smith wouldn't have to report that, but he sure did us a BIG favor by spilling it yesterday on the stand.
:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

I don't know, I'm really confused about that. His previous testimony was that he didn't retain her because it would have been a conflict of interest. He tried to call her a couple of times, but was never able to get a hold of her to tell her that. So, to me, he definitely didn't tell the same story yesterday, but, the defense didn't try to impeach him, either. Someone help me out. I'm lost.

In Session
Judge Burmila has taken the bench. He notes that he has been provided by the defense with some case law. Attorney Greenberg addresses the Court, says the case law he’s just provided is more applicable to this trial than what the prosecution had previously cited. Prosecutor Koch disagrees, says the facts in the State’s case law is close to the Peterson case than what the defense has offered. This is all in relation to an argument about whether or not Kathleen Savio’s death certificate should be admitted into evidence.

In Session Judge Burmila sides with the defense. “Over the State’s objection, [the death certificate] will be admitted.”

In Session The prosecution informs the judge that it is no longer planning to call rebuttal witness Nicholas Pontarelli (which eliminates a discovery issue). Prosecutor Connor says that the State will call Dr. Michael Baden as its first witness this morning, and describes the limited scope of Baden’s testimony. With that, the judge sends for the jury.

I wonder if the Juror's are thinking..."How can a attorney get on the stand and state what a client stated, aren't they suppose to not talk about privileged phone calls unless they are dead?" This is my first thought when reading HS testimony, will it also be in the minds of some juror's?

Is the blue color they are wearing for SADNESS and the ORANGE meant as you're going to jail DP?

#DrewPeterson defense tries to stipulate Baden is "uncategorically qualified" as an expert. State wants to go thru his resume anyway.
