Greta Van Susteren aired a segment yesterday titled A Day In the Life of Drew Peterson. I just caught the tail end of it. It’s a three part series online of Drew showing you around his home, talking about life as a dad, and what it has been like to be Drew right now.

Thanks to those of you who told me it was online this morning.

I found the video footage fascinating, but probably not why most of you would think. It wasn’t because of what Drew was saying, or what raised my eyebrows, but instead, it was thinking of how other people would perceive this video. That is what interested me.

Read moreFor those who have doubts, I suspect they will have more doubts now than ever after watching just how human Drew is here, and for those who have branded him guilty, they will likely watch this video with discerning eyes, anger and disgust that Stacy is no longer in her children’s lives.

Regardless of where you stand on the pendulum, sit back and try to watch this video with fresh, unbiased eyes. Give yourself a clean slate. Think as if you never heard of Drew before today. What do you see?

I suspect most people will be taken back at how normal of a life Drew Peterson actually lives. He is the neighbor next door. He is a man tending to the needs of his children. Most people would say without knowing Drew’s circumstance that he is a really nice guy!

You see is a man who is human, who is actually quite likable (if I dare be honest) in this video. He opens up his home to show you he lives like the rest of us. He trying to get people to connect with him, and I think this will be powerful. It won’t be as easy to convict him as guilty, to see him as a monster after you see how lives–much like the rest of us.

Drew shows you his best side here, of course, and we can’t forget that, but you can see how he managed to charm so many people for so long and how he got away with it. You can see why Drew had friends and believers early on. Not everyone saw the controlling side of Drew, I can promise you that.

If Drew wronged you, let’s say, and you told people who knew this Drew, guess who they would doubt? It isn’t him. You can be sure of that. I’ve seen this happen one too many times. People who take things at face value would likely come to Drew’s defense, sadly, and it’s not surprising. Who can fault them?

That is what is so chilling and fascinating all the same…seeing the other side of Drew Peterson that the media hasn’t revealed until now. Life is taking it’s toll on Drew. Being a house dad wasn’t what he bargained for. That’s for sure, and it shows.
