Peterson responds to suspicions, but just barely


Suspect in missing wife’s disappearance urges her to ‘publicly show herself’

Nearly a month after his fourth wife went missing and a week after the body of his third wife was exhumed, former Illinois police sergeant Drew Peterson is finally doing what many legal experts said he should have been doing from the start.

Peterson is “lawyering up.”

In contrast to his exclusive appearance last week on TODAY, Peterson, 53, left most of the talking to attorney Joel Brodsky during a second live interview on Monday. TODAY co-host Matt Lauer spent much of the interview trying to get Brodsky to let Peterson answer questions about his reaction to pathologist Michael Baden’s opinion that the 2004 death of Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, was a homicide staged to look like an accidental drowning in a bathtub.

-----------------------------snip----------------------------------------

Brodsky answered for Peterson, whom police have named a suspect in both the death of Savio and the Oct. 23 disappearance of the woman Peterson married soon after Savio died, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson. Brodsky said that Baden, who conducted a second autopsy last week at the request of Savio’s family, had made up his mind that the third Mrs. Peterson was murdered before he examined her remains on Friday.

“Dr. Baden, with all due respect to him, is a renowned pathologist, but he had a pre-existing opinion before he did the autopsy,” Brodsky said, pointing to interviews Baden granted a cable news network. “His conclusion was a self-fulfilling prophecy.”

After a back-and-forth with Brodsky about what Peterson would and would not be allowed to comment on, Lauer finally got to ask Peterson a question.

1. He was on GMA this morning without a lawyer

The facts seem to point to this guy as murdering wife #4, and possibly #3, too. Here's the link to the story from GMA:

I rolled my eyes at this comment:

"I would say I was controlling, but I wasn't abusive," he told Pinto.

This is the problem we have in our patriarchal society -- controlling behaviour isn't seen as abusive, when it IS abusive, in and of itself. And a person with control issues like Peterson usually is also emotionally, verbally, or physically abusive as well. They go hand in hand.

I hope they find Stacy soon, and put this guy where he belongs -- in jail.

3. Thanks for the link...

This guy is a real piece of work. I'm also hoping she's found. As I stated before, primarily to give her loved one's closure. Also so they have 'evidence' they can use to put away her killer.

2. You can't prove a negative

Stupid murdering asshole :grr:

4. P.U.

Wow, this one stinks to high heaven.

5. Talk about ridiculous

If this was on Law & Order it would be considered implausible. Where does this guy get off parading around tv lying like this?

6. Reminds me of another suspect w/the name "Peterson"...

...who also gave television interviews while his (pregnant)wife was missing.

http://www.findlaci2003.us/interviews-4-videos.html


In the trio of interviews, conducted by the ABC network and two local stations a month after Laci Peterson went missing and three months before his arrest, the fertilizer salesman insisted he had nothing to do with her disappearance, often with tears streaming down his face.

He was a big, huge, liar.
Should have been Emmy nominated for his interview performances. :eyes:

7. He gets off doing that because femicide is apparently not that serious.
