Yesterday I really thought that Drew Peterson was going to be let out on bail. He has been locked up for over a year and can't get out unless he can come up with the money to satisfy a $20M bail. But, all that I thought was going to change. Peterson is currently in jail awaiting trial for the murder of his third wife. How many did he murder anyway? Allegedly. I mean there is every chance in the world that he has just managed to marry women who disappear or die mysteriously at young ages.
So, prosecutors had lost a very important pre-trial ruling about using second hand statements and hearsay. It is devastating, and without it, they will lose their case. So, they are appealing the pre-trial ruling which will take about a year. I have never ever heard of someone being kept locked up during one of these pre-trial appeals. Ever. Well, the judge figured out a way to do it, and s instead of going home and finding someone else to kill (allegedly), Peterson will stay in jail where I hope he remains for the rest of his life.
I agree Enty. It would be blood on the state's hands if they let this man out of jail.

ReplyDeleteNo release during an interlocutory appeal? Really? I'm sorry - I believe the guy is guilty, but if they can do it to him they can do it to anybody. And innocent people really do get accused.
ReplyDeleteAnd how can secondhand hearsay statements ever come in? Crawford v. Washington provides pretty strong protection against hearsay statements.
Ugh. This is near where I live and before he was in jail he was out at clubs and stuff in the area with other young women taking videos and giving them to the media (well, I'm guessing it was him but who knows). Ugh ugh ugh. Can you imagine going to a bar and in walks Drew? I would just leave, he's soooo creepy and cocky and I think he's gonna be out soon enough, I really don't think they have anything on him unless they miraculously find Stacy. Maybe a month ago they were digging in central IL but found nothing but animal bones. I feel terriblefor his kids with both Stacy and Kathleen.
ReplyDeletelol at "Allegedly."
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of Kenny Rogers post awful face lift.
ReplyDeletethis guy is an out and out murderer and wife beater and a cocky bastard!
ReplyDeleteGood! Hope he rots in jail.
ReplyDeleteThe other cops that helped cover for him on some of the other crimes need to be put away too.

Thank God.
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget hearing his voice on the radio in Chi-town trying to find a date for Valentine's Day while they were still searching for Stacy.
ReplyDeleteHope he rots in prison. Oh, and that he possibly finds a date.
He's such an arrogant little evil ass.
ReplyDeletePraises to this Judge for finding a way to keep Droopy in the slammer.
