Tuesday in Joliet Illinois, is the second day of Jury selection in the Drew Peterson murder case, the man suspected of killing his third wife after the fourth wife went missing. However, Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky said that he predicts the case will not make to court because of lack of evidence.
He told ABC, "We have always said, and this has never changed: They simply don't have any evidence. They have conjecture, rumor, speculation, hearsay, but they don't have any evidence. Even a predispositioned jury is going to want to hear evidence, and they don't have any."
Peterson was a former sergeant in the Bolingbrook Police Department in Illinois. In 2007 he became the chief suspect for the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson. The Search for Stacy led the police to discover the body of Kathleen Savio, who was found in her dried bathtub in 2003. Peterson instantly became the prime suspect in her murder. Police believe that Peterson had something to do with the disappearance of his fourth wife as well. The Peterson mystery swept the nation, who were immediately hooked this real-life murder mystery. The media reveled in it, so much so that LifeTime TV made a movie based on the incident called "Untouchable" starring Robert Lowe.
On Monday, Peterson introduced himself to the first set of prospective jurors, as he stood up and addressed them as follows, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Mr. Peterson...Have a good day," as reported by the Boston Herald.
The jury selection is expected to be a little tricky, given the huge popularity of the event. Judge Edward Burmila addressed the potential jurors warning them, "This is not CSI. This is not a John Grisham novel. It's not a movie you've seen in a theater or a show you've seen on TV," as reported on the Boston Herald website.
But Peterson attorney is confident that the case has no chance, "I don't know why they are prosecuting this. I am serious. This case should never have been brought...If they can prosecute Drew Peterson on this garbage, rumor, back fence gossip, then nobody's safe," he told ABC News.
