Drew Peterson's Trial *THIRD WEEK*

[Cubby]

The drowning scenario just does not fit. If she were to have slipped and hit her head rendering her unconscious before she slipped under the water took a breath and died does not match up with how she was found and the evidence found around her.

I wonder if that will be enough for the jury.

Strange how the injury to her head matches the complaint she filed against DP about him threatening to kill her. Maybe he thought he was doing her a favor. I think there is enough evidence against him. I also think his smug attitude would tell me something if I were a juror. To get rid of two wives, first one looks like an accident and the second just disappeared. Seems to me a very well thought out plan. jmo

But does the jury know his second wife is missing? I thought the judge was not allowing that in.
To me, the jury has to find that Kathleen was murdered and also find that DP did it. I am really afraid as to how badly this trial is going. If he gets away with this it will be the worst of injustices.

Stacy,the missing wife,is wife #4

Stacy,the missing wife,is wife #4

That sounds even worse! I just meant "Does the jury get to here that his latest wife is missing?" I thought the PT was having to go around that info.

Thought I would bring this here for everyone to see (if it should not be here please delete mods). I thought since the defense team wants to display everything they can find on the witnesses as well as KS it is only fair that we see some of their past behaviors. I just don't understand how they can continue to practice law with some of their convictions.

So far there are 3 lawyers on Drew Peterson's defense team that are thieves.
Joel A Brodsky - Forged a dead clients signature so he could steal the dead mans money..
Lisa "Chlebos" M Lopez - Acted like Nordstrom's in Oakbrook was her personal ATM.
Ralph E Meczyk - Filed fraudulent tax returns for his law firm and his personal taxes.

Unless you have been on another planet for the past 3 years I don't know how anyone does not know Stacy Peterson is missing. The jury will not get information that she is missing from the trial but they certainly get that Stacy is missing. jmo

Why are we not surprised????? And they're still attorneys.

 

[MissJames]

This judge might as well declare a mistrial and send Drew on his merry way.

I'll be shocked if the jury convicts him.

let's be real: The Prosecution has not proved their case and that's what i'd be thinking if I was a member of the jury.

JMO.


if I was Kathleen's family i'd be very PO'd at the State.

How could they ,when all the real evidence is being kept out ?:maddening:

The drowning scenario just does not fit. If she were to have slipped and hit her head rendering her unconscious before she slipped under the water took a breath and died does not match up with how she was found and the evidence found around her.

I wonder if that will be enough for the jury.

It should be. The injury to her head doesn't even appear to be serious enough to have rendered her unconscious in the first place. It would take a pretty forceful hit to render one totally unable to even try to get themselves out of the bathtub. Yet there is absolutely no evidence of anything occurring in the bathtub....nothing is disturbed and her head is at the opposite end of the tub from the only thing that could have caused a head injury, the faucet.

Then, take into consideration DP's statement to the insurance adjuster, where he assumes Kathleen died from a drug-related drowning, then moves on in another conversation to explaining why he wouldn't be called to investigate her death and mentions the word murder. A slip of the tongue, or bragging that he is LE? And remember there were no drugs in her system so why would he insert "drug-related" into it, unless he wanted it to be presumed that way?

And finally, what is the protocol for an on-duty LE officer when he suspects there may be an emergency inside a dwelling? Is it normal to call a locksmith and a neighbor to enter the house with that LE officer remaining outside? Even though this was his ex-wife, if it was possible there was something "wrong" inside the house, why send a civilian in and not call for other LE?

:waitasec:

MOO

Definitely not off topic imho! I find that very interesting to say the least! I think if ever there was a case of impropriety taking place in one of our courtrooms, this screams it! I can't even figure out who all is even involved here, but the count has to be extremely high! I read somewhere that the defense [/, too, was always aware of the date discrepancy in the military friend's confusion all along too. So why discredit him now? Also, in reading one of the links provided by a very helpful member, whose name I can't recall!, The Will County coroner, Patrick O'Neil, determined it advisable to exhume KS after having performed & investigated her initial autopsy! Will HE be called as a witness? (If I read that wrong, please correct me!) As for allowing testimony about the "hitman', is anyone else keeping their fingers crossed that maybe, just maybe, the Judge has actually been encouraging the DT to show him a particular piece of law that HE knows is out there in order to finally rule on it? I just cannot wrap my head around this guy seriously wanting to see a murderous man go free!! Well, as a few other WSers are today, Sat!, have been catching up on some things & had a burning desire to vent! Sooooo frustrated!:banghead:Hope everyone has a great week-end & see ya Tues!QUOTE=dog.gone.cute;8275335]BBM: IIRC, I read that this judge was appointed and NOT elected ...

I am hoping that a local may know the answer to your question as I am not familiar with Illinois' judicial system ...


Not to go off topic here -- just giving an example of how some judges got replaced down here :

In the "land of corruption" here in Louisiana, there have been quite a few investigations recently into "corruption" by the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office -- and ONE investigation was into the "corrupt courthouse" in Jefferson Parish [the parish next to New Orleans].

It was dubbed "Operation Wrinkled Robe", in which several judges were investigated by FBI and US Attorney's Office ...

These corrupt judges were investigated for judicial misconduct, ethics violations, etc. ... and finally, they were removed ... a couple of these judges were jailed ... one was removed and sanctioned by the Louisiana Supreme Court ...

Again, sorry for the Off Topic ... but sometimes, judges ARE investigated and the bad ones are removed for judicial and ethical violations ...

So an invsetigation into corruption can happen ... does not happen often ... but it can happen ...

JMO, but this case warrants some sort of investigation ...


lease: I am still hoping and praying that there will be some sort of justice in this case ... but unfortunately, it is not looking good ...

Oh Wow. Some of our posters have had that theory all along.

 

[katydid23]

If any of you get the chance to watch a repeat of her show, do it. She was great.She had a panel of attorneys discussing the hearsay and the judge, etc. I was trying to watch but my husband was talking to me,[ imagine that lol] and I had to pretend I was listening so I couldn't hear what Judge J P was saying. LOL

Hopefully I can watch the rerun later tonight.

Don't miss the part where DP's attorneys guarantee he WILL testify!

My husband thought she was the woman found in the Bay (Lacy Peterson) :banghead:

Yikes, sounds like my hubby. Tell your hubby 'that ship has sailed'. Scott has been on death row so long now he's probably trying to run the place. LOL.

Prob. the Petersen name. I don't have the heart to tell my hubby there is yet a third Peterson- Michael Peterson. Beleive his wife's name was Kathleen also, but I could be wrong.
