Well Darn it, The best of his life was about to happen. He was suppose to get a job at a brothel! 

Seriously, that guy is a wacky social path.

I hope the creep never gets out of jail

Wasn't Peterson also the same last name as the other guy who killed his wife a few years ago? Sad.

Well...normally I'd be in the innocent till proven guilty crowd. If you can do it for lifelong scumbag criminals and OJ then you can do it for retired cops. But when a marriage is breaking up, and the girl is going for the $$, there are some guys who just cant live with that. Some guys love their money, and their things, more then anything else in the world.

I look at this guy, the way he dresses, the stuff he owns, his need for notoriety and the spotlight, and I see that kinda guy. And those dicks investigating him see it also, believe me. And they love it. The investigating Police wish he's appear on every show on television wagging his mouth.

If it was me, and it never could be cause I fear Gods justice, but if it was I would have kept my mouth shut and let the story die off of page #1. Peterson's constant babbling has made it a big story for to long and has made him a lot of enemies. They are going to investigate this guy forever if thats what it takes.

What your seeing now is simply a tactic. They know they dont have a chance to convict him on this murder but they are turning up the heat on him, ramping up the pressure, in the hopes of getting him for the last wife. Right now they are screwing him back, and the "G" has limitless resources. They can spend unlimited $$, and keep 50 guys on it as long as they like.

Investigators have letters to the local DA as well as telephone conversations she had with her family members a few days before she was murdered daying "he's going to kill me and he says he'll make it look like an accident."

The first post-mortem didn't find the reason, but the body was exhumed and a coroner now says that she was beaten to death.

On his last wife, a friend of Peterson says he helped load a blue plastic 55 gallon drum into a truck--days after she came up missing.

On top of that, he gets on TV with his kids and tells them "mommy isn't coming back".


Sad.

Did she report it to Police? Make a case report for "threats"? Yes? No? If its no then its all hearsay and old news anyhoo.

The first post-mortem didn't find the reason, but the body was exhumed and a coroner now says that she was beaten to death.

And the first negates the 2nd. Any competant lawyer can argue its a witch hunt. That he's being persecuted for a muder due to a 2nd incident that happened years later. Indeed the murder itself was found to be an accident at first.

On his last wife, a friend of Peterson says he helped load a blue plastic 55 gallon drum into a truck--days after she came up missing.

A big nothing. It aint illegal to own a plastic drum. Perterson wont even have to account for it cause his Lawyer wont allow him to testify.

On top of that, he gets on TV with his kids and tells them "mommy isn't coming back".

Which can mean a lot of things. It can also mean, "Mommy found a jocker and aint coming back to you kids". Another big nothing.

OJ Simpson beat one where they had tons more evidence. Including his hairs at the scene on Ron Goldman, hair on a cap that was OJs. I have a buddy who's LAPD and he told me they all thought it was a locked up case they had so much evidence against the guy.http://www.justicejunction.com/judicial_injustice_oj_evidence.htm

Compared to what they have on Peterson I'd say this is just a rattle tactic by the D/A. Its not all that easy tieing up a homocide case anyways. People get away with murder all the time. This Peterson guy may very well walk from both of them.

Just like the attempt they made when they arrested him on weapon violation charges for having an assault rifle that was confiscated during one of the searches of his house.  It was widely interpreted as a rattle attempt because at the time of the assault rifle was seized from him house, he was still a policeman and was legal for him to have it in his home.  It was not until after he left the police force that he was arrested and charged for the weapons violaton that have since been dropped.


ack-ack

Now for the actual reasons that they scooped him.

Primary elections in IL are next spring, the Dupage County States Atty is running for reelection, there will be no trial until after the general election, at the earliest. Thus, the States Atty can say that justice is being accomplished to quiet his critics, it all comes down to politics.
They have no case other than hearsay evidence, there was a law passed in IL - actually nicknamed the Drew Peterson Law. The law basically tenets that a person can go to trial without the benefit of facing their accuser, if, as the case they will be trying to prove, if, you have eliminated the accuser - the accuser being Savio. It will be interesting, but most legal experts believe the case will fall apart because eventually it would end up in the Supreme Court. And, that narcissist Peterson would love that attention too.

Rich I can't believe that you could actually think that this guy is innocent, He's definitely a murderer, come on what are the odds that his last 2 wives died, I'm we don't know for a fact that Stacy is dead, but it's a 99.9% chance she is.  It was even his nephew I believe it was that said the night she went missing he helped him load a 55 gallon blue drum in his car, then had him go to a cafe and gave him her phone and told him not to answer it when it rang, hell the guy felt so bad the next day when he found out that Stacy had disappeared that he tried to kill himself because he realized what he had helped him do.

Also 2 medical examiners have said that the cause of death for his first wife was homicide.  Also Stacy told her pastor in confession that Drew had admitted to her that he had killed his first wife, now why would a pastor of all people lie or make something like that up, this guy is so guilty it's not even funny.  With the things they have against this guy I'd be really suprised if he's found not guilty

And Nwbie the case isn't in Dupage County, I believe that it's in Will County.

I never said I thought he was innocent. Try re-reading my post. What I think means nothing because the Law says hes innocent.

Start going down the road your on and next thing you know it'll be you getting strung up. You either have evidence that proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt or you dont.

Thats the problem with juries today. Everyone on the jury thinks they are an independent operator that can play outside the rules. In some places they think they are auditioning for spots in a movie. Now even the accused do.

If this guy wasn't a former PO, and the media so desperate to survive, nobody would have even heard about all this.

hell the guy felt so bad the next day when he found out that Stacy had disappeared that he tried to kill himself because he realized what he had helped him do

Oh yeah? Well theres a real stable witness. He'll fit right into this case.
