Joel Brodsky withdraws from Peterson case

[Bullwinkle]

Drew Peterson’s longtime attorney Joel Brodsky has withdrawn from the Peterson case – at least for now.

<snip>

He insisted he was not fired from the legal team, and withdrew on his own, because he had become a distraction lately.

“I have decided to remove that distraction. That’s exactly the way I saw it,” Brodsky said. “This was my decision. As a matter of fact, Drew wanted me to stay in.”

In court documents filed earlier this month, attorney John Paul Carroll accused Peterson’s trial attorney, Joel Brodsky, of not effectively defending Peterson.

All part of the plan?==================================

Looks like Peterson is going for the 'ineffective counsel' plea.
