Drew Peterson's Trial *FOURTH WEEK*

[katydid23]

I believe it's normal in a trial to do this. Defense will ask the judge for DP to be freed because the State was not able to prove it's case due to lack of evidence. jmo

It is totally normal and every defense attorney does so automatically. But in this case, there is a higher probability because this judge has made several comments indicating that the state has not met it's burden of proof.

He said two things today. One, was something about the state ' not placing the defendant at the scene of the crime..' And the other was about them not having any evidence of staging of the crime scene...

And the way he berates and discredits the state attorneys makes me believe this judge would LOVE to rule that they failed.

I can't wait to hear what Judge Jeanine Pirro has to say about all of this on her show Saturday night. She was already furious this morning, so she will be foaming at the mouth on her show this weekend.

The Honorable Judge Burmila needs to catch her show.

I have just left the screen up and been awol most of the day. You know when your neighbor comes over and rings the doorbell holding one of her famous chocolate pies you will let her in and treat her like royalty!


I think Kathleen's letter should be allowed in without any portion being redacted. That would be too good to be true, though. So much has been kept from this jury that if they do find DP not guilty, they will after the fact be pissed off about the information that didn't make it in. <snipped>
MOO

If I knew how to tweet I would be tweeting J Ruby right now and suggesting he do an entire one page of the paper again outling to the jurors what they did not see etc. Kinda wish there was someone after the FCA trial i Florida that had the b%%s and money to have done that AFTER the mury got home as I want the jurors to see it all in the paper!

:rant:

This is a pitiful excuse for a trial. I have never followed one so biased and non productive.

BBM: Yes it is ... and it gives new meaning to the word "circus" !

from the link above:
Hoda Kotb: Are you a good con?
DrewPeterson: I believe I can be, yeah. But I'm not conning anybody about this.
Hoda Kotb: How does one know when you're conning and when you're not, if you're good at it?
DrewPeterson: I guess you don't. I guess you don't.

As a boy, he dreamed of becoming a cop. And after a stint in the Army -- with the military police -- he made good on his dream. Peterson joined the force in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook in the late 1970's. He went on to become an undercover narcotics officer.



:what:

 

[dog.gone.cute]

judge bars state from presenting record ordering DP to pay Savio's divorce atty's fees. Says it doesn't speak to motive...

BBM: OFGS ... people have killed for less ! This judge needs a serious reality check :maddening:

:moo:

 

[katydid23]

Sue Doman: He would call her names.
Hoda Kotb: What kind of names?
Sue Doman: He would -- horrible, swearing names. B*tch, . "You look like a dog". She needed to go to Jenny Craig. She needed to do anything to make herself look better 'cause she was lookin' horrible.
Sue says there was violence too -- she says Kathy told her she was beaten. Hospital records show Kathy landed in an emergency room on one occasion -- and the records reflect the story Kathy told her sister.

Sue Doman: He took her head, and -- took her hair, she had long hair and he beat her against a wooden table. He was angry at her.
Hoda Kotb: What kind of injuries did she sustain?
Sue Doman: She had a laceration on her head. She became dazed. She had black and blue marks all over her.
DrewPeterson: That never happened. :liar:
Hoda Kotb: Okay.
DrewPeterson: I say, if you ever had the opportunity to meet Kathy Savio -- she would not be somebody that would sit there and let somebody take and grab her hair and beat it against a wooden table. Kathleen Savio was a hell cat. And you didn't mess with her. Ever.


Hoda Kotb: But she did go to the hospital with injuries.
DrewPeterson: I don't know if she did or she didn't. I think that might have been -- Kathleen was constantly trying to build a case against me for a possible divorce.


Are we sure this is the article going to the jurors? I sure hope so.

 

[dog.gone.cute]

The Defense will immediately ask for the judge to rule on a motion set forth.

The DT will say that the state did NOT prove their case, did not prove there was a murder, nor that their client was ever at the scene of the 'non-murder' and that lack of evidence and total lack of forensics, requires the judge to ' direct a verdict' of case dismissed for lack of evidence.


eta: A "motion for a directed verdict" asks the court to rule that the plaintiff or prosecutor has not proven the case, and ...

BBM: And I will NOT be surprised IF this happens when the Pros Team rests ... :banghead:

:waitasec: In fact, from the way this entire "circus" has been handled, I am kind of expecting it ... :waitasec:

:moo:

 

[Peazzzer]

Oh dear....this just makes me sick....poor Kathleen and Stacey.

 

[wishinuall]

Seriously; WTH????

I'm thinking that with DT putting Harry Smith on 1st to get their proof of KS what ever they're saying she lied about, the PT under cross can bring in the issues so critical that the judge has ruled admissable, namely, the letter?! Also, I've been trying to remember the actual evidence that's been heard; that she feared him & believed he might kill her. That was from her sister, did she indeed get to say all that? Then the magic towell, that he had broken in & sneeked up on her all dressed in black & made threats before, the differing coroner's findings, the interview with SP being so bazzar, these are things presented, in piecemeal! that are not hearsay. Ya'll can jump in here!! But I'm believing that all of these alone wouldn't allow ANY REAL or LEGITIMATE judge to find that there's not enough evidence to continue with this trial. At least that's what I'm praying for with the added bonus of keeping my fingers crossed!!!

Don't know if this is the article going to the jurors or not, just found it and thought that it might be.

Here's another one ...

Hmmm, maybe the jury can show up Monday dressed like this ... :clown::clown: on Tuesday ... :jester::jester: on Wednesday ...

I hope it is. But I am not sure. Because they said 'an interview'---and this a is an interview, but has a lot of extra opinions thrown in.

I wonder if there are more straight interviews out there. Maybe it was a video from a NBC show and they are just going to show the transcript. Wasnt he on Dateline?

IMHO in almost all capital cases this is standard to do, no matter the evidence that had been supplied by the prosaecution so that it on record in case of appeal and to preserve on record. They would be remiss if they did not ask for IMHO,

 

[katydid23]

HODA!! That is Good Morning Amercia, right?

Maybe they are going to just give the transcript from his interview with her on GMA.

I hope so because it is perfect for the jury to read.
