Drew Peterson case ::

Friday, November 6, 2009
A nephew of Drew Peterson's slain third wife says prosecutors will call him to the witness stand during the disgraced former cop's trial, and he believes the testimony is going to cost him a year of his life. "This is definitely political," Charlie Doman said of prosecutors supposedly planning to lock him up for the maximum year sentence if he is convicted of misdemeanor battery and obstructing justice in order to keep his testimony above reproach.

Past stories
Drew Peterson's attorneys vowed to flip the world's perception of the disgraced Bolingbrook cop upside down when they get a crack at the state's witnesses during an evidentiary hearing in January.

A year ago, Drew Peterson went to New York City to appear on the "Today" show and plead with his missing wife to "Show yourself. Put an end to this nightmare." The wife, Stacy, who is Peterson's fourth, has not shown herself. And Peterson's living nightmare has gotten worse, as he has been in the county jail for five months while he awaits trial in the death of his third wife.

Drew Peterson, accused of killing his third wife, sued JP Morgan Chase in federal court late Monday, accusing the bank of illegally cutting off a sizable home equity credit line.

The attorneys for Drew Peterson invoked the bible, Ancient Rome, McCarthyism and deceased comedian George Carlin, but still failed to convince a judge Friday that the hearsay law is unconstitutional. Not only that, but during the same hearing, Peterson's legal team lost its bid to have Peterson's murder trial moved out of Will County.

Drew Peterson's bid to move his trial to a different venue was denied Friday morning. Peterson was arrested in May and charged with the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He is being held at the Will County Jail.

The constitutionality of law seen as crucial in the Drew Peterson case is expected to be argued Friday when Peterson returns to court. Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, is being held on murder charges in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Nearly two years after Stacy Peterson was last seen alive, a group will march in her name to raise money for a battered women's shelter in Joliet.
