Drew Peterson's Trial *FOURTH WEEK*

This is what kills me. The witness is THE ONLY ONE who heard what Stacy said to him and yet others (Judge, DT, PT) are deciding what words he can/can't use. Yeah, I get probative vs prejudicial. Just wish common sense was thrown in with the two p's for fun.

I agree. But when you look at what he threw out and what he allowed in, we are still going to be okay.

So he cannot say anything about him saying it was ' a perfect crime.'

But he can say that Stacy was told by DP to lie for him and that she did lie for him. That is all we need, imo.

BBM;;;that would be PCP, and PCP is illegal. LOL

 

[borndem]

this is stupid.
What's DP complaining about someone starring at him for and why is he playing this game?

Oh, I know, becuase DP thinks he's the best at everything.

.

Yes, things are being measured here & DP ain't backing off of anything.

Patience is not one of my virtues to be sure, but this is unbelievably slow:sigh:

attys arguing over foundation of letting that statement in; it was barred by Judge White previously as too prejudicial...

Greenberg joins the argument: “There’s no such statement before the jury, there has to be some predicate for the statement."

Greenberg: "I don’t know what the basis would be for Stacy saying, ‘I lied to the police.’"

attys arguing over foundation of letting that statement in; it was barred by Judge White previously as too prejudicial

Judge: “Unfortunately, we’re at another instance where the State has made one representation one day..."

 

[katydid23]

: Judge: "I understand the defense objection, but the statement that she did carry out his wishes is going to be admissible.” #

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

 

[katydid23]

judge will allow Schori to tell jury that Stacy saw Drew put women's clothing in washing machine on weekend Savio died...

Despite the judge’s ruling, Brodsky continues to object to portions of Neil Schori’s testimony (due to marital privileges).

[ Marital privilege? Seriously. You are going to claim marital privilege after you killed your last two wives?]

 

[passionflower]

Was this jude paid off??
I am sorry but EVERYTHING should be allowed in.
DP did what he did, said what he said, so he has to pay for his bulliness........JMOO

 

[katydid23]

We're in a break. Presumption is prosecution is meeting with Schori to instruct what he can/cannot say.

 

[WindyCityGirl]

In Session Despite the judge’s ruling, attorney Brodsky continues to object to portions of Neil Schori’s upcoming testimony (due to the marital privilege issues). Greenberg also joins the discussion, reads from one of Judge Burmila’s previous rulings. “It’s our position that they haven’t laid a foundation.” Prosecutor Griffin responds, dismissing the defense arguments. “There’s nothing in the law that states that acts and communications have to be definitively tied to a specific victim.” Greenberg: “I don’t understand how that establishes any foundation . . . we have nothing more than we had at the time these motions were extensively litigated . . . we would ask the Court to not allow them to get into this.” Judge Burmila: “The State’s argument is that statement was barred by Judge White as privileged, and that explains the link you now say doesn’t exist . . . the Court’s observations you read from the transcript were in advance of the trial. The issue here is whether or not there’s any testimony presented to this jury that could allow for the inference the State is trying to make . . . but there is some indication that the jury could believe this act happened sometime between midnight Saturday and the time that she was found . . . taking all of that into account, the jury would be able to draw the inferences that the clothing the defendant had with him, if they believe Stacy Peterson’s hearsay statement, could have come from the victim’s home. So that [defense] objection will be overruled.”

judge allows Schori to tell jury Stacy saw Drew put women's clothing in washing machine in middle of night weekend Savio died...

:great:

Okay everyone...the judge is allowing enough damaging testimony in for the jury to see he is guilty. Now we just have to hope and pray that the witness does not step ona landmine accidentally and give the DT a chance to strike the testimony.

 

[LaLaw2000]

There will be plenty of objections during Schori's testimony. No way is the defense going to let this testimony go smoothly.

MOO

The judge is back on the bench. He sends for the jury.

MOO

This is going to be a huge minefield.

 

[borndem]

This is atrocious......all of this should be taken care of BEFORE trial begins.....I feel sorry for this jury. What a royal pain in the arse. three years of pre-trial hearings and a high profile case where you need to cross your t's and dot your i's and this is what we get?????

PATHETIC

Talk about contempt -

- seems to me that this is what the Court is showing to the jury.

How many of those jurors are already writing their books about this thing?

And how many of those books will be comedies?

:banghead::maddening:

 

[katydid23]

Prosecution advises Schori (hopefully very carefully) about what he can and cannot say, jury entering courtroom

Schori will also be able to say she saw #DrewPeterson come home that night with a bag of women's clothes not hers.

jury in courtroom. Gray appears to be color of day

Judge: "There is some indication the jury believes this happened sometime between midnight Sat. & the time [Savio] was found

State calls the Rev. Neil Schori of the Westbrook Christian Church in Bolingbrook.

 

[WindyCityGirl]

In Session The jurors have entered the courtroom, and the State calls its first witness of the day: Neil Schori (questioned by prosecutor Glasgow). He goes over his educational background. “My first ministry was working for a hospice organization . . . I worked on the South Side of Chicago. I was transferred to St. Louis, where I worked for another year.” “In May of 2004, did you begin working with the Life Spring Community Church, in Plainfield?” “Yes, it was June 1, 2004.” “Did you have occasion to meet Drew and Stacy Peterson?” “Not at Life Spring . . . I met them at the end of 2005 or the beginning of 2006 at West Brook Church in Bolingbrook.” “Did you have a chance to minister to them?” “I did.” Objection/Overruled. He identifies the defendant in the courtroom, and then also identifies a photograph of Stacy Peterson..

 

[MissJames]

Exactly.

This Judge is so up tight.
I think he should be investigated

Watching the rerun of Hemy Newman trial on In Session and ,man,what a difference the judge makes.
The Prosecutor called back a witness who had been released from testimony and was leaving. He had to be sworn back in,but no problem. There have been mistakes by Prosecution ,but the judge doesn't get angry or frustrated,doesn't throw the jury out ,just moves it along.
The DP trial judge seems to include emotions in the way he's running this trial.

 

[katydid23]

Schori says he met Drew and Stacy Peterson at the end of 2005 or beginning of 2006 at Westbrook Christian Church in Bolingbrook.

Schori IDs Drew Peterson in the courtroom.

Schori provided marriage counseling to #DrewPeterson and Stacy Peterson while he was their pastor.

Schori said he received phone call rom Stacy Peterson in Aug. 2007. He met her at a Starbucks the morning after that call.

Schori upon seeing her: "Stacy appeared to be nervous, tentative."
