Drew peterson trial nancy grace

A jury of seven men and five women have focused on whether Peterson, 58, was responsible for the death of Kathleen Savio, his third wife, who was found dead in her dry, clean bathtub March 1, Peterson pleaded not guilty and the defense contended Savio fell accidentally, hit her head and drowned.

The headline-grabbing case did not arise until after Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, disappeared in October It was during the search for Stacy Peterson, who has not been found, that investigators said they would look again at Savio's death, which was initially ruled a drowning. Savio's death was ruled a homicide in February , and Peterson was later arrested and indicted on two charges of first-degree murder. But during Judge Edward Burmila's instructions to the jury, he told them there was now one count.

Peterson was married to Savio in when he had an affair with thenyear-old Stacy Cales, who later became his fourth wife. Savio and Peterson filed for divorce in October and their relationship remained contentious for the next several years. Bolingbrook, Illinois, police records indicate officers were called to Savio's home 18 times to intervene in domestic fights from to Peterson had Savio arrested twice for domestic violence, though she was found not guilty in both cases.

Key moments in the Peterson trial. On February 27, , Peterson picked up his two sons from Savio's home and spent the next two days with them. Prosecutors said he entered her home again early on February 29 and killed her. At the time of her death, which authorities initially treated as an accident, a court was mulling how the couple's marital assets would be divided, and Savio was set to receive part of Peterson's pension and other support.

At long last, justice. Sure is hard to convict law enforcement, isn't it. VERY glad to see justice finally served!! I lived within a few miles of this PIG, and had to stomach seeing him around town several times, and he lorded himself around like he was a celebrity.

Even if he does somehow get out on appeal years from now, at least he will have spent time in prison for what he did. Now, we need justice for Stacy Peterson. And for Lisa Stebic too. Yes, let's not forget Lisa Stebic different case for those of you outside Chicago and Stacy Peterson. Me and my girlfriends were out having drinks one night in a bar in OakBrook and Drew was there with his attorney and YES! He is an arrogant azz that seems to think he is some kind of ladies man.

I was actually surprised what a short twep he was, but then again, I am a tall woman He is a short, arrogant creep with small man syndrome. If he remains silent on whereabouts of Stacey, bring him to us, securely restrained, so he may learn the safety that giving true answers affords him.

Too bad they can't hold the death penalty over his head to find out where stacy is buried. Thank the doofus governor Pat Quinn for that. Nice try you almost got away with it.

People find love in strange places, but falling for a convicted killer serving a life prison sentence is perhaps the strangest. A missing autistic boy is presumed dead and his parents are behind bars in Tennessee. Nancy Grace looks at the disappearance of 5-year-old Joe Clyde Daniels. Former Illinois cop Drew Peterson is still behind bars for the murder of his third wife, but his fourth wife Stacy Peterson is still missing. But so far, they show him to be nothing more than a blowhard egomaniac, or possibly mentally ill.

Besides the hookers, the brothel and Nancy Grace, Peterson elaborated on his plan to smuggle drugs from Mexico for a cartel. Peterson's long-winded speeches to his special prison friend, year-old Antonio "Beast" Smith , also touched on his disdain for his former lawyer, Joel Brodsky. Peterson dumped Brodsky from his defense team after he was found guilty of murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

The trial judge, Edward Burmila, said "Brodsky was out of his depth," and that he "did not have the lawyerly skills" to handle the case. Brodsky's ineffective performance was a key point in Peterson's appeal.

And Peterson doesn't seem to have forgotten how things went during his trial in Joliet. On the recordings played Tuesday afternoon, the second day of Peterson's murder-for-hire trial, the disgraced former cop expresses even greater affection and devotion for Smith, the convict who cooked with him and passed him secret notes, before ultimately running to the authorities and betraying him by wearing a wire.

Peterson apparently believed he would be free to frolic with Smith after he triumphed in appealing his murder conviction. He lost that appeal in November but the Illinois Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case. While Peterson is on trial for allegedly trying to orchestrate his revenge on Glasgow by ordering a hit, he more explicitly spelled out his plan for retribution against cable news star Nancy Grace. He outlined a bizarre scheme to wear a T-shirt with Grace's name on the back, presumably during an interview with her.

During this fantasy meeting, Peterson would turn around to show her the chest had been cut from the shirt so he could exclaim, "Hey Nancy Grace, we're the same cup size.
