Drew Peterson “Ultimate Jury Consultant” says Lawyer

When the jury for the Drew Peterson trial was being selected, guess who participated in their selection? None other than Drew Peterson himself.

Drew Peterson’s attorney, Joel Brodsky even said to the media, “We have the ultimate jury consultant and that’s ah…Drew Peterson.”

Yes, you can say that’s no surprise because Drew Peterson is arrogant, but on this one, I have to agree he is likely very good at reading people, understanding people’s vulnerabilities and weaknesses as well as their strengths!

Smart psychopaths can read people extremely well!

Drew Peterson’s Story on A&E

Susan Murphy-Milano hosted a segment on A&E on Drew Peterson. She gives us more background details to the stories of Kathleen Savio and Stacy Peterson.

I particularly like how she explains Drew Peterson’s personality. She’s right on the money. Drew was a charmer. Most people would have gravitated towards him in social situations prior to the news coverage that showed his arrogance side. Drew was, at one time, a very likable guy.

Drew Peterson’s Trial Starts Thursday


Fox News Coverage before trial begins

This Thursday, a jury will be selected for the murder trial of Drew Peterson, who is accused of killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio. It’s been nearly three years since his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson disappeared.

I will never forget when I read in the Chicago Sun-Times the first words from Drew Peterson about Stacy. He said in print to a journalist, “I think she’s not missing”. That was a huge red flag that something wasn’t right. Who thinks like that unless they are thinking on their feet? Do you often say, “I think I am not hungry? Of course not.

I had no idea at that point things would go so crazy with Drew. His arrogance finally caught up with him and it will be interesting to see this case play out in court. I plan on discussing it as details air.

The Herald-News is reporting that police plan to dig for the body of Stacy Peterson today east of Peoria, Illinois (southwest of Chicago). Drew Peterson’s trial for Kathleen Savio’s death is scheduled to start next month.

Remember that crazy letter that Drew got stating someone had seen Stacy in Peoria?

Drew Peterson Arrested

Breaking news (thanks, R!): Drew Peterson has been arrested late today (5:35 CST) for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. From The Herald News:

“I guess I should have returned those library books,” a hand-cuffed Drew Peterson said Thursday afternoon as he was being led into state police headquarters.

I can only think about how devastating this must be to Thomas and Christopher. My heart bleeds for these boys, and for Drew’s younger children. Their life has been total chaos. I wish these boys and all of Drew’s children strength and courage.

The Larry King show reported that Peterson is being held on a $20 million dollar bond. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a bond that high. They said it will likely be reduced.
