Drew Peterson: It’s All Just a Coincidence

Right: Hiding like the hideous creep that he is; peeking at the real world.

Just yesterday, the death of Drew Peterson’s third wife was officially ruled a homicide after a second autopsy revealed that she was drowned to death...

The second autopsy on Kathleen Savio’s March 2004 death included photos from the scene and reports from the initial investigation, along with results from microscopic examinations and toxicological tests, State’s Attorney James Glasgow said.

“We have been investigating this as a murder since reopening the case in November of last year,” Glasgow added. “We now have a scientific basis to formally and publicly classify it as such.” Forty-year-old Savio was found dead in her bathtub shortly before her divorce settlement with Peterson was finalized...

When asked about these latest results, Drew Peterson, a former sergeant with the Bolingbrook Police Department, said he was “shocked. … You’re kidding me. Unbelievable. That’s hard to believe.” Am I alone in wanting desperately to slap the living shit out of him?

Savio’s family members, who received the news from Illinois State Police on Thursday, were not surprised, however. “This is something we’ve believed for almost four years. It’s a good thing that it finally came out,” Savio’s niece Melissa Doman said. “But it could have prevented if people would have listened to her before she was killed.”

Savio filed a protection order after Drew knocked her down one day in 2002 and ripped a necklace from around her neck that left marks on her body. In the order, Savio said she “feared [Peterson] could kill her.” Apparently, this new evidence makes it look as though she might have been right.

Perhaps prosecutors have that additional evidence they need to finally drag Drew in to answer some tough questions.

I hope the Savio's have good enough attorneys to win a wrongful death conviction as well as just a challenge to the settlement of her estate. That in itself was clearly so wrong that Kathleen's estate attorney, , who was fired by Drew's uncle, James B Carroll, stated in his final report that the asset distribution was against the interest of the late Ms Savio and her estate.

After Savio died, there was a Will County probate case to settle her financial affairs. Well-known local lawyer Dick Kavanagh was the public administrator of Will County, a governor-appointed position. Simply put, the public administrator tries to find the fairest way to settle an estate after a death, among other things. Excerpt: "The actions of (Carroll) were not in the best interest of the estate or the beneficiaries," he wrote in a court document.

After seeing the corruption of Law Enforcement at all levels in Chicago, I no longer think the governor was wrong to stop the death penalty. No one is watching the watchers.
