Drew Peterson cutting down ribbons honoring his missing wife on Sunday.
Recently, I came across a Facebook comment from Tom Morphey’s sister, Sue Cathcart. She wrote, “The entire Morphey family is anxiously awaiting SOMETHING to put this murderer away! It is incomprehensible that Drew is walking around a free man, destroying the lives of his innocent children and mocking the justice system. I pray for some closure for Kathleen & Stacy’s families, and normalcy for the Morphey family. Thanks to everyone who has encouraged and supported my brother, Tommy, during this difficult time for him.”
Sue isn’t the only person to come forward in support of Tom Morphey, the man who claims to have helped his brother move a blue container from Drew Peterson’s house the night that Stacy Peterson went missing. Tom’s brother, John Morphey, has also spoken publicly in defense of his brother. He’s described Tom as a man with a past of drug and alcohol abuse, but also as a man who has worked hard to clean up. He describes his brother as trusting and loyal saying “He’s loyal to a fault. Put it this way: His sophomore year of high school, he was playing football [at Hinsdale South High School] and one of the guys on his team picked up the ball and ran the wrong way. Tom blocked for him.”
Tom’s friend Walter Martinek says, “He’s a down-to-earth person. He’ll give you the shirt off his back. I can’t say nothing bad about him. His past is his past. From when I moved into the neighborhood six years ago, I’ve never seen no problems whatsoever.”
These people have all come forward in support of a man who Drew Peterson’s defense is trying to paint as someone with “severe mental illness, drug and alcohol addiction“; someone who lies and hallucinates; a man who thirsts so much for approval that he’ll admit to knowing about and being involved in the murder of his sister-in-law. Yet, there are people who will stand up to vouch for and defend Tom Morphey.
So, where are Drew Peterson’s supporters?
The Friends of Drew Peterson Club meeting will now come to order!
The man has family, and as a thirty-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department he certainly is well known in his community. Where is the support for their family member and friend? Where is the outrage?
If you ask Drew, he’ll say that he has supporters but we don’t hear from them because the media is determined to only paint him in a negative light. “Sinister sells better and the media, if they keep me mischievous or if they keep me looking bad, it sells better.”
Let us pretend for a minute that what he says is true and the mainstream media has received an outpouring of support from Drew’s friends and family that they simply choose not to publish. How about the non-mainstream media? What about blogs? What about T-shirts? What about posters and billboards and fund-raisers and public displays of solidarity and support? Was there some invisible group of protesters on the court-house steps during his gun charge and estate hearings? Because I didn’t see them.
What we have seen are people who were friends of Drew Peterson, leaving his side. People like Sharon Bychowski, Ric Mims, Paula Stark and Lenny Wawczak now saying that they believe Drew killed his two wives, and even working with law enforcement to get him indicted. Allegedly, Drew’s own son, Eric, refuses to speak to him.
Of course Drew has been able to replace a few friends with people who have something to gain by getting close to his notoriety: lawyers, PR people, radio show hosts; he even got himself a new girlfriend who’s willing to risk the safety of herself and her two little children just to wallow in the bad-boy smell of Drew Peterson.
In my opinion, when your best friends are your lawyer and a washed-up ex-shock jock it’s a clear sign that you’re out of friends, and the reason for that has nothing to do with the media.
Thanks to Rescueapet for the story idea and to Bucketoftea for the photos of the “Drew Peterson Clubhouse”. Also, I swiped the photo at top from the Herald News. It was submitted by Tom Morphey and Len Wawczak.

cyrhla, if you want to put together that list I’ll put it up on the documents page. Just email it when you’re done.
I’ve always wondered that. Drew and Brodsky have gotten open forums on many shows and I’m sure they would be more than happy to have someone call in and put in a good word for him. I’d bet money that Mancow would let Drew have some of his supporters on his show. All we hear right now is the chirps of the grasshoppers.
His mom did speak out once, but my recollection was that (much like him) all she did was bad-mouthed Stacy saying she was ashamed of her or something to that effect.

I wonder what Al Morphey (Tom Morphey’s dad) thinks now. He probably is a man that is stuck between a rock and a hard place and probably has his lips sealed tight so as not to get his wife nor his family mad at him.
Certainly Pretzer would have given any supporters the opportunity to speak up on Drew’s behalf.
And rather than just postingBrodsky’s FAXes and assisting in the trashing of witnesses, I’m sure a certain PI would have been glad to give them room on his blog.
Great Post, Great Idea!
Oooh and while I’m about it, they should be flayed alive for vandalising that graceful building with that gross sign. Newly nicknamed The Pin-Drop Inn, a daintier sign would suit.

See what I have found on John Paul Carroll today(sorry again for taking so much space)
http://www.treasurer.il.gov/news/in-the-news/2008/SLPD20October2008.htm
Lawyer’s new case spurs new outrage
Defense lawyer John Paul Carroll’s big spending on a single capital murder case sparked reform of the way Illinois pays for its death penalty system. Yet three years later, the state has put Carroll back in the death penalty business.
An Illinois judge appointed Carroll this summer to defend a death penalty case — just one day after Carroll admitted making a serious legal error in another murder case.,/b>
“I’m appalled by it,” said Rep. Kurt Granberg, D-Carlyle, when told about Carroll’s appointment. “People like this should not be allowed to come in here and cheat the taxpayers.”
Carroll’s appointment to the latest case means he can once again tap into the Illinois Capital Litigation Fund. The Illinois Legislature attempted to reform the fund in 2005 after Carroll’s defense of Cecil Sutherland cost the state $2 million, including $900,000 in legal fees.
At the time, one legislator called for the attorney general to investigate Carroll’s billing. Furious lawmakers established new rules for the death penalty fund. Now judges in each case must preapprove hourly rates and defense attorneys’ estimated budgets for the entire case.
But a Post-Dispatch investigation published Sept. 28 found the fund is still being abused by lawyers, private investigators and expert witnesses, who charge steep fees to drive, make copies and send e-mails. One private investigator was allowed to bill 49 hours for one day, while a ballistics expert was allowed to charge $300-an-hour just to drive to Belleville from Indiana.
The state requires lawyers who handle death-penalty cases to be specially approved by the Supreme Court as a “safeguard of the fairness and accuracy of capital trials” to ensure “competence, professionalism and integrity of the attorneys who try those cases,” according to the court’s website.
In the 1990s, Carroll’s law license was suspended for 18 months. A disciplinary commission found that Carroll filed false income tax returns over three years, gave improper accounting to a client, and charged an excessive fee.
Despite that suspension and Carroll’s history with the death-penalty fund, the Illinois Supreme Court again certified Carroll last year to handle death penalty cases. The court has refused to give the Post-Dispatch a copy of Carroll’s application for certification, saying it is an “internal working document.”
In June, Kane County Circuit Judge Timothy Sheldon appointed Carroll to defend Darren Denson, who is accused of shooting and stabbing a man to death.
According to court records, the appointment came one day after Carroll filed a motion for a new trial in another murder case — with a surprising admission. Carroll said he hadn’t told his client, Edgar Castro, that the state had offered an attractive plea deal before Castro stood trial. The state, according to Carroll’s motion, had offered to allow Castro to plead guilty to a lesser charge of armed violence in exchange for dropping the murder charge.
“The defense counsel did not convey this overture to the defendant, which he would have accepted, but merely rejected the offer out-of-hand,” Carroll wrote.
Castro was convicted of first-degree murder. A judge is deciding whether to grant a new trial.
Carroll couldn’t be reached for comment.
“This is a very serious situation,” said Steven Beckett, professor and director of trial advocacy at University of Illinois’ law school. “An attorney has a duty to convey any and all offers from the state to their client. It’s fundamental to our judicial system.”
Sheldon said he appointed Carroll after two other lawyers dropped out of the case, and only because Carroll had a prior relationship with the defendant. Sheldon also was the judge in the Castro case.
“My heart just skipped a beat,” Sheldon said on Tuesday when informed by the Post-Dispatch of Carroll’s history with the death penalty fund. “I had heard about a lawyer who billed $2 million for a case, but I had no idea whatsoever it was our local John Paul Carroll.”
In that case in 2004, Carroll defended convicted child killer Cecil Sutherland. Sutherland agreed to let a St. Clair County court sentence him to death. The theory was, in part, to put Sutherland’s case on a fast track to automatic review by the Illinois Supreme Court, which had already sided with him on an earlier appeal.
The appeal was denied, and Sutherland is now on death row. Carroll billed more than $2 million for Sutherland’s defense, prompting outrage from legislators. Among the bills, Carroll charged $135.68 an hour for the time it took to pack his van at his former home in Minnesota and drive to Illinois. (He now has a law office in DuPage County, Ill.)
[…]
Kati Phillips, a Giannoulias spokeswoman, said of the recent Post-Dispatch findings: “John Paul Carroll) is the poster boy for capital litigation abuse. Despite the changes to the law that he prompted … there is still potential for abuse. Frankly, it would be embarrassing to the state and the legal system if an attorney emptied the fund twice due to lack of oversight.”
Meanwhile, Granberg, the state representative, says he is going to talk to Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office, again, about investigating billings of the fund. St. Clair County Circuit Judge Milton Wharton has also called for an investigation into the billings of the Jason Smith death penalty case tried earlier this year in Belleville.
Granberg said he wants to set up a system that would bar Carroll and others with “questionable billing” in their background from tapping the fund in the future.
“I’m not giving up on this,” he said.
Here they’d say Drew was ‘Billy No-mates’ lol
If Carroll is going to advice Drew the same what he did with Sutherland, I personally have nothing against it (but only for Drew’s money). 😉
Noway, I think I have to give up with the searches on the family relations between JP Carroll and JB Carroll.
There is almost no information on John Paul. I think James B is John P’s uncle.
Cannot be 100% sure, but both James B Carroll (1928)and James K Carroll (1922)were born in Westchester and are brothers. John Paul Carroll was born in 1944 and is 63 now so I deduct (as a real detectives do! 😉 ) that his father was rather James K Carroll.
Ufff…I hope it is clear 😉
That information about John Paul has poleaxed me. It is unbelievable what some people will do. Another expression they use here that I like is ‘neck’ for audacity. Extreme audacity is brass neck. Sheldon. 🙄
We’re pretty sure the cut & paste issue is theme + IE-related. You can cut & paste if you use Firefox (and probably some other browsers as well). I’ll see if there’s something in the CSS I can change but I doubt it.
I’ll delete the posts about the issue above.
The layout that I liked the best was the first one you guys had settled on some time ago.
Coming back to family matters: John Paul Carroll has/had its office at 608 South Washington Str
Suite 207, Naperville, IL 60540. It was not easy to find as he does not provide it on any of his website.
Ah, it seems everything with Drew comes back to some horrible web of lies. Well, that and drugs, specifically cocaine. I think you good folks are starting to see just how vast this web of lies around Drew really is, and how many people need to be removed from office before he will be tried.
Interestingly enough, his connections not only with Tomczak but also with this judge. Both of them have connections with drugs and/or rape. Coincidence, perhaps, but maybe more. My father used to say the only man who would defend a rapist is one who is a rapist himself…
I would be very interested in seeing if that is true. Have there ever been allegations of rape or sexual misconduct on his part, particularly early in his career? Did he have a high school friend who raped a girl while drunk? Or maybe he has been cavorting with Drew back when he was a cop… all disturbing possibilities.
Let us put into action what we know here. Drew has killed at least two women. He is a chauvanist. He views women as objects, property to be controled and trophies to be scored. In all probablility, he is a rapist and a spousal abuser. He displays all of the personality traits thereof. He is also a pedophile in as much as that he had sexual relations with a 17 year old. And he had the means and opportunity to kill other women as well… runaways, junkies, prostitutes.
Given all of this, it would be very interesting to take a look at any missing women within his immediate area over the past few years. In particular if they are people who wouldn’t be missed, between the ages of 16 and 25, preferably brunette. Druggies, missing persons, etc.
Any easier way would be to just call or send an e-mail pretending to be a potential client who wants to meet with him Cyrhla. If he is anything like Drew, he should be easy to fool and manipulate.
Now, one other comment, slightly off topic. What happened to WLS? They used to be a good conservative talk radio station. Now they’ve cut back Coast to Coast, replaced Agar with Mancow, and NOW they are putting Blago on? Oy vey! It makes me want to cry.
I’m just wondering if Drewpie will try upstaging the ex-governor again. I mean, come on, Drew wouldn’t want to get bumped off the front page or anything. Plus Joel seems to trust WLS enough to go on there all the time. On the other hand, Drew has been blowing Mancow off lately too, so I guess we shall see.
Hi Bucket, here in Oz it would be ‘Nigel No-Mates’ hehe.
FYI – IE8 does not resolve the text selection issue in the comments. I suggest immediately defecting to Firefox.
I wonder….Is there such a thing as support for a two time murderer ?
The only thing I support for DP is life without parole 😉
1wonderwoman, now that is something I will wholeheartedly throw my support behind 🙂

Ribbons spark Peterson fight
Neighbor: Drew took down memorials
March 24, 2009
By JOE HOSEY jhosey@scn1.com
BOLINGBROOK — Drew Peterson and his child crept around their subdivision in the middle of the night, cutting down ribbons meant to honor his murdered third wife and missing fourth wife, said his disgusted next-door neighbor.
“What kind of a father are you that you would make your child think this kind of behavior, disrespecting ribbons that are placed to honor both of his moms, is acceptable?” asked the neighbor, Sharon Bychowski, on Tuesday.
» Click to enlarge image
Former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson, his missing fourth wife (center), Stacy, and his late third wife, Kathleen Savio.
Bychowski said she and about 20 other “friends” of Peterson’s missing fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, gathered Saturday afternoon to put purple and white ribbons on the trees along Pheasant Chase.
Peterson emerged soon after Saturday and cut the ribbons off four trees, Bychowski said. Paula Stark, a former friend of Peterson’s who said she later recorded conversations with the homicide suspect at the behest of the state police, put up another four, and Peterson again cut them down, Bychowski said.
But the group put more up, she said, and strung their ribbons on trees from Peterson’s home to the house he had shared with Kathleen Savio, his slain third wife, about 500 yards away. But Sunday morning, she said, they were gone. This did not stop the group from once again replacing the ribbons.
Calls to police
By 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Peterson was calling Bolingbrook police about it, said department spokesman Lt. Ken Teppel.
“Drew called, complaining streamers were being put on the trees in the parkway,” Teppel said. “He wanted them down because it is against village ordinance.”
The only problem, Teppel said, was that the ribbons did not violate any village ordinance. The police did not take action.
But Peterson allegedly did, and began snapping pictures of the group gathered in Bychowski’s driveway. The police were called soon after, Teppel said, when Peterson and Stark’s husband, Len Wawczak, reportedly exchanged harsh words.
Peterson also accused his stepbrother, Thomas Morphey, of joining with Wawczak and “calling him out,” Teppel said. Morphey, incidentally, has claimed Peterson tried to rope him into a plot to murder Stacy and says he may have unwillingly helped Peterson carry his missing wife’s body out of the house.
The police asked Peterson to give a written statement about the confrontation, Teppel said, but he refused, saying his attorney did not want him to do so.
While the police were at Pheasant Chase Court, the group in Bychowski’s driveway told them Peterson had allegedly cut down the ribbons, Teppel said. But even if he had, the ribbons were placed on city property, and it is not against the law to remove them.
Night mission?
The police departed, but the ribbon fight was far from over. Bychowski said she saw Peterson and one of his children cutting down the decorations around midnight Sunday.
Both were clad entirely in black, she said, and the pair slipped over their back fence to take down the memorial to Peterson’s last two wives.
The child’s “future looks bleak, with a role model like Drew Peterson,” Bychowski said.
Peterson dismissed the accusations.
“They’re a bunch of liars and low-life (expletives),” he said of the group who repeatedly placed the ribbons on the trees. “There’s not a job between them.”
When asked about going out in the middle of the night with his child to cut down the ribbons, Peterson declined to comment.
Ribbons back up
On Tuesday, Bychowski said she planned to continue putting up ribbons in honor of both her missing friend and the woman married to Peterson before Stacy.
“In (Pheasant Chase) court here,” she said. “We’re attaching them to houses and mailbox posts, where Drew does not have the right to take them down.”
Isn’t Glenn Selig supposed to be a “PR guru”? Why has he never sent out press releases full of support for Drew Peterson from his friends and family?
Even if the “keep him sinister” mainstream media doesn’t pick up the releases, at least it would be out there…somewhere?
I guess the only answer is because he doesn’t have any friends or family willing to speak out for him. They must think he’s guilty as well.
Thanks, WSF.
Here’s a link to Hosey’s article:
http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/heraldnews/news/1493707,Ribbons-spark-Peterson-fight_jo032409.article
Drew sure is good at that stuff…
After reading that story, I am sickened by what he is engaging his son in. Absolutely sick. That’s all I am going to say about it.
It is plain to see Drew has always surrounded himself with lies, corruption and intimidation and what gave him a better opportunity than the Police Force to hide behind what he was doing !!
As a member of the Police Force he would have had access to anyones home/work address and private information to stalk, harrass, corrupt, intimidate and control.
At some stage in his career he was an Undercover Narcotics cop, in the Street Gang Suspression Unit and he was in the Swat Team.
What I don’t understand is didn’t any of his collegues realize there was a Sociopath in their midst ?
rescueapet,
I feel the same way. Now, what happens if the child gets hurt during the next episode? Who is the suspect going to blame??
Facs,
Keep on forgetting to just to the link. Thanks!
Geez Joe, she has got a name.
I am so sickened by Joe Hosey’s article.
I wonder which child it was? My God, is it too late for that poor little mite? Experts say a child’s personality is formed before age 8, so I fear for those kids and what evils may have corrupted their minds.
It’s beyond sick that he would make one of the children of those women go and cut down a memorial to his mum and adopted mum. Too disgusting for words.
Hurry up and indict the pr!ck! Maybe there is no statute of limitations on murder, but I am pretty sure there is a time-frame on how much psychological abuse a child can tolerate!
I think we can assume it’s one of the teens, right? My mind won’t wrap itself around him dragging little Laci or Anthony out at midnight to murder their mom’s memory.
Facs, in light of your comment about their names, I’ll rephrase:
“It’s beyond sick that he would make one of the children of Kathleen and Stacy go and cut down a memorial to his mum and adopted mum”.
I am going to pop open a champagne bottle and toast Kathleen and Stacy the day that POS gets charged for murder.
Eventually those boys will grow to hate him.
Aw, heck, Aussie – I didn’t mean you! It was a strange omission in Hosey’s article.
Eventually?
I think right now they probably feel loyal and protective. They want to believe dad. But what do I know? They may have memories of the day Stacy was killed and that evening when they were told to stay in their rooms while Dad moved something down the stairs.
They may know and hate him already.
“Drew called, complaining streamers were being put on the trees in the parkway,” Teppel said. “He wanted them down because it is against village ordinance.”
The only problem, Teppel said, was that the ribbons did not violate any village ordinance. The police did not take action.
He got mixed up … it was against the village idiot not against the village ordinance …
I wonder…Are we really surprised this scum bag used his own child in these criminal and vandalous acts ?
Yeah he is a great role model and Mr. Mom ! NOT !
He is a two time murdering POS who needs to rot behind iron doors ! ( that never open )
Charles Bronson wishes to Drew Peterson!!!!
“Drew called, complaining streamers were being put on the trees in the parkway”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Oh yes, Drew calls the Police when that happens but when his wife “runs away” he never calls the Police, he just goes to bed because he’s tired !!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it Brodsky ! I can hardly wait for the Dynamic Dipshits to show up in court on murder charges.
I believe in justice. I just wish this magic lasso really worked. I would get to the bottom of all truths in this case. 😉

Exactly, children know what they know and seen what they’ve seen and heard what they’ve heard, regardless what their Father tells them or wants them to say !
One or more of these children will tell the truth one day, but most likely not while they are still living with their Dad !
RE: Ribbons spark Peterson fight
—————
Must have heard on Sat. that Blago was going to be on the radio.
Some sent me a message telling me this. I think it may already have been pointed out here?
Wonder if Brodsky and Peterson will be on with Blago Wed am??? I’m sure Blago may need some help….
Hosey added a picture taken by Tom Morphey that shows Drew walking down the street with a pair of scissors abd a handful of murdered ribbons.
Is it awful that I am thinking of that Seinfeld episode? WHO? WHO will not wear the ribbon???
When asked about going out in the middle of the night with his child to cut down the ribbons, Peterson declined to comment.
*************
It seems to me, if I am not mistaken, there are cameras pointed at DP’s house that are mounted on Sharon’s house. I don’t think shriveling up like a coward and declining to comment about what he got his son involved with is “manning up.”
Coward, pos that he is.
lol
Wish I knew those two guys, to send them to DiPs.
“Cause if chu talkin’ to me”
If those cameras were running, that will make for some interesting footage.
I guess that explains the black clothing.
It’s does strike one that Drew appears to have 911 on his speed dial, and yet failed to use it when he was unable to drop his kids at his ex-wife’s house, or when his next wife had been missing an entire day.
I’m kind of hoping that the group was mistaken and rather than Drew hopping the fence with one of his kids, he was with the Idiot Woman-child. She’s pretty small, isn’t she?
How come he declines comment when he’s exposed for using his young teen to slither around in all black clothes at midnight, when the next day is a school day, but he opens that disgusting yap of his when he describes the whore he’s got living with him?
The police asked Peterson to give a written statement about the confrontation, Teppel said, but he refused, saying his attorney did not want him to do so.
****
We can all draw our own conclusions here, too, as to why the pig clammed up and didn’t want to give a written statement. Kind of hard to sign your name to bunch of lies.
Good point facs. I would much rather it be xtina cutting down the ribbons than one of the children.
Since the day Stacy went missing, a lot of blogs out there in the world have had their fair share of Drew supporters. Not supporting him, per se, but supporting the whole ‘innocent until proven guilty’ ideal.
I notice that there are fewer and fewer people out there jumping to his defence.
I defy anybody who knows the story from the beginning to protest his possible innocence.
He has a sickness; he just can’t help himself from doing stupid, stupid things. FFS, he is not even attempting to try and even put on a facade of innocence or of missing Stacy, or even pretending he is concerned that Kathleen’s death has been ruled a homicide.
He is a complete nutbag! Somebody should nominate him for a Darwin award!
I remember Lenny saying that he thought the elder boy was well corrupted already. Not surprised- didn’t DP boast he’d go online with strippers and when the time to pay came shoved the boy in front of the webcam for him to say ‘oh no! my parents are back’. He buys them cool stuff, too.
I’ll grant that there are plenty of strangers pulling out the “innocent until guilty” argument. That’s fine. That’s their opinion and I have mine.
But I am surprised that we don’t hear any support from people who actually “know” Drew. If your old friend was unjustly charged with a crime and you knew that never, in a million years could they have done it, wouldn’t you step forward to defend them?
Look at Tom Morphey. Here’s a guy who not only admits that he’s had mental health issues and substance-abuse issues but that he willingly helped someone who he thought was going to commit a murder. Even Tom has people who will stick up for him, say that he is loyal and generous, salt-of-the earth.
Joel Brodsky and Glenn Selig appear to be the only ones with something nice to say about the man, and they are being paid by him.
Oh God, Bucket. Yes. Now I am thoroughly depressed.
Maybe DP was even advised by his counsel to stage a diversion….to keep Wing-gate and Twitter-gate off the mainstream front page. lol
ha ha Sharon’s probably got far more ribbon than he has days left to cut it back down. …I think the scant reference to Kitty in Hosey’s article looks like maybe the editor’s hand…he always has a short paragraph describing the dry bathtub and the 2nd chance to find out what happened.
here’s a youtube clip, one of my favourites, of Drew giving the evil eye to a BB policeman, in case you think it rates the vodpod (love that name) 🙂
Bucket?
It’s 5am! Aren’t you sleepy??????
Ok I don’t understand why these people are coming forward supporting and vouching for Tom. He might have been the only person in the world that could have saved Stacys life from Drew and he failed and went along with Drew in the plan.
It just goes to show how Drews thinking is so totally bizarre that the presence of these ribbons occupy his mind to the extent he feels the need to go out and remove them (!!)
Is there anything more pathetic, narrow minded and childish in a supposedly grown man’s behavior than this ??
I don’t understand either what good in the plan to put drew away it did for Sharon and Hosey to report his child was out with him. Everyone knows what an evil monster is heck he killed thier moms.
It is bad enough that Hosey prints the unsustantiated stuff from Sharon about a child then he has to publish her black cloud prediction for the kid.
“The child’s “future looks bleak, with a role model like Drew Peterson,” Bychowski said.”
Between Sharon, Hosey and Drew those kids don’t have a chance.
Well, I don’t understand why, every time a story comes out about another one of Peterson’s or Brodsky’s stupid actions, people come forward and repeat, ad naseum, how innocent Peterson is until proven guilty and screaming about his rights.
Ribbons and bows, and pictures too, never hurt anyone. A two-time murderer who has poisoned the minds of his children – now that’s worrisome.
If Peterson was getting his rights stepped on, he’d have been in jail over a year ago.
How come the anger from his bleacher fans was kept in check when it came to light that he’s promoting his lawyer’s bar or asking to be paid for radio interviews.
Bah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t you just love the photo of Drew with scissors and ribbons in hand ??
It’s not like the olden days anymore, Drew could do whatever he wanted and no one was any the wiser.
These days there’s cameras, bugs, tapes and investigators everywhere !!
I wouldn’t assume that the information about Drew’s child is unsubstantiated. Hosey has a witness to corroborate. Isn’t that all a reporter needs?
He’s not judge nor jury…just giving us the news. That’s his job. Just like Joel’s job is to trash victims and witnesses.

How did you come to that conclusion iknoweverything ?
Neither Sharon or Joe Hosey are under investigation for murdering anyone.
Drew on the other hand is these childrens FATHER and under investigation for murdering their mothers !!!
That is the only reason these children don’t have a chance !
Also, Sharon Bychowski has cameras facing DPs house. The whole incident was probably captured in glorious technicolour.
Good point, rescue; just where ARE all the bloggers who protest DPs innocence, who come out of the woodwork everytime there is a negative story about him, but when he does stuff like chickenwing-gate, their condemnation appears to be lacking.
Could it be that the ‘innocent till proven guilty’ brigade are just DPs rent-a-friends Selig and Brodsky? I would put money on yes.
JAH. Well said.
But, LOL, don’t forget what Brodsky said too. Lenny and Paula, along with the ISP, psychologically and permanently damaged the children. So, Sharon and JHosey will have to stand in line to get their chance.
Right, the word of a person with an agenda and just run with the story. Kids be danged.
It is bad enough what Drew does to the kids, heck Sharon and Hosey might as well add to it.
iknoweverythinglol, I’m not quite clear on your stance. Are you defending Drew, or just mad at Sharon Bychowski? Just asking…

The only ones actually nurturing these children by murdering their mothers must be Drew (!!)
Just Defending the kids that everyone seems to have forgot or think it is all fair if they hurt them in the short term it will out work for the best. Well these clowns have no idea what hurts the kids and should just leave them out of their gossipy blue reporting.
I know what you are saying, iknoweverythinglol, however as a journalist I can tell you why Hosey mentioned the child.
It was to illustrate the absolute lengths DP will go to, to illustrate that he is not above using his own children in such tawdry behaviour.
Can you imagine how the child felt, being made to go and cut down ribbons that are a memorial to his mum and adopted mum?
Like it or hate it, everything DP does is news. We can’t really get upset about that, because we, the bloggers who are demanding justice for Kathleen and Stacy, we are feeding on it too. We come here and discuss every aspect of the case and we follow every move the media follows in relation to the case.
We can’t really turn around now and condemn a reporter for just reporting the facts. I don’t know if Joe Hosey has intergrity or not, but if he does, I doubt he would have reported that the child was present during the rampage if the child wasn’t. He would have have a reliable source substantiate it for him.
iknoweverythinglol – It appears you have an agenda – an anti-Sharon agenda.
How about we move on to something else.
Rescueapet that is not fair to say just because I disagree with some of what sharon does. You can not get rid of me by making false statements like that or change the subject. Let’s talk about it. What good did that blue article do?
Ausseinat, I am sure Drew has the kids so brainwashed they think the ribbons are to spite drew and nothing to do with their moms. Heck the boy probably loved the attention from his dad and enjoyed doing it.
Oh, if it was the boy. The article really doesn’t say.
I thought “blue “meant that something was pornographic.
I guess I was thinking of a “blue picture”.
Hmmm, I’m not sure how that applies.
Facs, it doesn’t apply.
Dang, there goes my color blindness messing me up again. I meant yellow and you can see that is just what Hosey’s article is.
Yellow journalism is a type of journalism that downplays legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell more newspapers. It may feature exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, sensationalism, or unprofessional practices by news media organizations or journalists.
Added to Vodpod. It will take a little before it shows up.
I wonder how the plans for the pay-per-view fight with Chrissy’s ex-boyfriend are going? Wonder if Drew is still going to go with the rep he met with in Vegas or leave it up to Q101 to arrange the event?
It’s funny he hasn’t called in to any radio stations lately to promote it.
Are you kidding? Every time he gets a chance to get in a real fight, he hits his speed dial for 911. He’s light on his feet when it comes to beating women, though.
So Selig will be “on the ground” tomorrow to be around for the gov’s big radio hosting gig. I wonder if he’ll have time to put the spin on Drew’s latest nefarious, sneaking about, cutting-things-up, child-endangering activities?
Maybe that’s why Mancow is Drew’s new PR guy, telling him which radio shows to do or not. Sellit has moved on to the latest and greatest clown.
Honestly, there’s no need to sensationalise when writing about Drew’s antics. The stories just write themselves!
Oke so the logic here is if Drew takes one of his children on a nefarious mission that is not allowed to be mentioned in a newspaper article as that is psychologically damaging to the child (!!)
LOL !!

and I wonder if Chrissie has “done” Mancow yet !
LOL, justanotherhen.
I cannot wait for him to be arrested, charged, and put away by a jury of his peers. If you thought the crowd cheering for Scott Peterson’s arrest and conviction was great, just wait.
And I hope no death penalty. Put the dirty cop away, in general population.
Good morning everyone.
Welcome, arioflight.
Morning! I have been a long time lurker on this blog through my google reader. I finally remembered my wordpress name. Have a great day.
I have a real simple fix for Drew’s kids not being included in articles about his stupid antics – he should just not bring them along when he’s acting a fool.
What a putz!!
He goes around and tells people they are all chickens (pun intended) and that they go to the other side of the table, call the police, hide behind their door, etc. However, he sure seems to be the big baby with 911 on his speed dial.
I do agree though with IKELOL that Drew probably got the kid to associate the ribbons with people harrassing him rather than them being in memory of their motherSSSSS. Sad thought – what kid has to even think of ribbons in memory of one mom let alone two?.
I wonder…Why don’t the fueding neighbors just duke it out on the front lawn with squirt guns ??
Then we can chat about Watergate II 😉 LOL
You know – the more I think about the comments about Joe Hosey being such a bad guy for including that one of Drew’s kids was with him it irks me more and more.
Drew has no problems talking about these kids mother’s like they were pieces of shit in public, in writing, on the radio, and on TV.
He and his lawyer go out and put such bad things about Tom Morphey out there even though his longtime girlfriend (kind of like a common law wife) has kids who could be affected by his comments.
He goes out and stares down Lenny’s son at the barbershop.
He goes on the record and says that Chrissy is a bad person when they broke up, was awful for promising HIS children she wouldn’t leave, and was a terrible teen even though she has children who could listen to that interview some day.
Drew has no regards for anyone’s kids (including his own).
…but be careful! His squirt guns are probably all modified
Drew always does seem to need a “wingman”. 😉
Has he run so short of accomplices that he’s going to start dragging his kids around to interviews? Oh wait. He already does that.
You’re right, TAI. You’re absolutely right.
Re Facs’ comment, https://petersonstory.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/drew-peterson-where-is-the-love/#comment-43567
I’m not sure who sent you the message, but it is not JAMES I was wondering about.
I was wondering whether JOHN PAUL Carroll was also Drew’s uncle.
I will say though that Hosey should not have included Sharons’ prediction about the kid’s future looking bleak. That was not necessary and is really hurtful IMO. Let the kid mess up his own reputation and don’t let his dad do it for him.
And now that I’ve beat that horse to death, I’ll move on! Until/If I get an answer.
As for Sharon’s remark. It may not have been a kind thing to see in print, but I fear she’s right.
Those boys are getting all kinds of lessons in “wrong” just from being around Drew and seeing how he disrespects women, and people in general. And that’s completely aside from the fact that I also think he murdered their moms.
Many kids that saw all kinds of “wrong” lessons turn around and become very positive in their adult life. As a parent of an addict – I can tell you that I learned from other people’s lessons. My hope for them being their own person isn’t totally gone yet. I’m an optimist by nature!
…If it’s not illegal to remove the ribbon, why the ninja performance? Training? Is he teaching him to pick locks and kill with his bare hands as well as how to rip off internet strippers? Whether it should have been printed I don’t know, but believe Sharon’s concerns are certainly legitimate. Printing the story may prove to be protective of the boy’s reputation.
I hope it proves to protect his reputation, Bucket. My preference is not to include the kids in this thing but Drew has put us in the position of his son being a topic again.
I am also with Think about their future. People have an enormous capacity for ‘turning the right side up’ again. Yes, there’s hope for the kids. 🙂
Yes, Drew’s the one using/abusing the kids. Big time. I suppose anything event like this recorded may protect them from their father’s tender mercies in the future, may prevent them ending up with less than the best custodial arrangements when Droopy goes to prison.
Did anyone listen to Blago this morning?
What I find truly astounding is that a few bloggers, here and there, have the time and wherewithall to express their outrage over Sharon, the neighbor, and JHosey, the reporter, and blame blame them for the unexplainable and disturbing actions a father has engaged his child in.
Hmmm, try and explain that outside of the blogs – that the next door neighbor and a reporter are the ones responsible for poisoning the minds of these children. I can hear the laughing and snorting now.
What neighbor or reporter caused Eric to disconnect from his father?
BOT – Heck No! I cannot stand to hear that man’s voice and really do not care enough about anything he has to say.
Rescue – I agree. Drew had full control of his kids inclusion/exclusion on this one as far as participation goes. I just wish they’d leave the opinion part out but don’t think it was done with malice against the kid.
I think the REAL question is, “WHY DO THE RIBBONS BOTHER YOU SO MUCH DREW?” If he truly was innocent you would think he would not mind little momentos to honor their memory….POS
If you just look at the bare facts of the story, and try to divorce from it the names of the people involved, questionable quotes, and Hosey’s style, it still just looks really bad.
Friends and supporters of missing woman attach ribbons along street to honor her memory. The suspect in the woman’s disappearance cuts them down and when they are replaced, sneaks out again under cover of night and removes them again.
That doesn’t look good no matter who you are.
TAI – please. Drew Peterson’s unsavory quote was also used to express his dislike for the neighbors and supporters, if you go back and read the article. This was by no means a one-sided opinion piece.
Moving past the insane idea that others are to blame for bringing psychological stress upon those kids, when is someone who cares for those kids, say their paternal aunt or uncle, or their adult half-brothers, going to attempt to gauge the well-being of these kids and have their living conditions investigated? Is someone close to those kids going to question the one that went out with his father the other night, cutting ribbons? Because I’m pretty sure that is not acceptable behavior for most sane, logical parents trying to raise decent human beings. What parents would allow their own kids to even be within five feet of the Peterson kids’ house?
Maybe Drew has something against one of the organizations below who also use the purple ribbon to symbolize their cause.
Purple Ribbong Meaning: This color is a symbol of pancreatic cancer, domestic violence, ADD, Alzheimer’s, religious tolerance, animal abuse, the victims of 9/11 including the police and firefighters, Crohn’s disease and colitis, cystic fibrosis, lupus, leimyosarcoma, and fibromyalgia

Hmm … not likely though.
“They’re a bunch of liars and low-life (expletives),” he said of the group who repeatedly placed the ribbons on the trees. “There’s not a job between them.”
******************
Where’s the outrage over letting this asshole get his personal opinions printed in the paper about people who are accused of no more than tying ribbons to some trees, or potting some plants?
Noway, I answered your question about John Paul Carroll yesterday. He is Drew’s cousin brother and a niece of James B Carroll. I am trying to find their family connections with another Carrolls who are of much higher authority in Illinois.
Rescue, I suppose the lack of outrage is because Sharon was talking about a child and Drew was talking about adults.
Although the “not a job between them” is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black since he is unemployed himself AFAIK. In fact, I remember an article lamenting the fact. 😉
Cyrhla … sorry I missed your answer yesterday. 😀 @ John being a niece of James.
It goes without saying – whoever or whatever Attorney Carroll this is, even the Appellate Court couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation as to why he used his appointment as executor of a questionable will to generously bestow the deceased’s estate on Drew Peterson. Will this eventually be turned over to prosecutors to investigate, or is the estate going to be re-opened, as though this never happened?
So, as I’m snorting and laughing, the story should have said Drew Peterson was seen accompanied by another person, without divulging that it was his kid?
And, the next time he does a Mr. Mom video, he’s going to have his kids’ faces blocked, and their voices distorted when they say how he “buys” them stuff? Snort, laugh, more snorts.
😀
Um, thanks Admin.
Except now you can delete the rest of my post after “Cyrhla … sorry I missed your answer yesterday.” if you’re going to make cyrhla’s post say “nephew” …
Admin, could you correct “niece” for “nephew” in my above post, please LOL

I am not a native speaker, so forgive me my language slips.;)
As far as I am concerned, arrest the whole damn lot of them. The web of corruption is absolutely horrifying! I wonder if anyone will ever be charged with anything. OMG! How sad. It seems like everyone affiliated with Drew is a criminal, crook (JMO). Wow! This is disgusting! I hope he is arrested soon and this causes a collosal domino effect for all corrupt involved.
cyrhla, I am a native speaker, so I’m not sure what my excuse is for my language slips!
And while Sharon’s comment about Drew’s son may seem harsh, it almost seems the kind of thing one might have heard about the streetrats in Drew’s life after their first petty acts.
Drew’s comment about those putting up the ribbons and not having a job between them just made me laugh. What a lame comeback. IMO
Rescue – I think you may be reading my posts wrong. I have complete outrage over Drew’s comment. I was just saying that I wish that Sharon’s comment about the kid wasn’t in the article.
As far as Drew’s comment goes – here is what I posted on another forum:
Said the man who used to hang with all of these very people and trust them enough to watch his own children… I guess back then they were his “bunch of liars and low-life (expletives)”.
Drew has a habit of ripping every single person to shreds unless they are still his friends and he needs something from them. As I wrote in my other post – this man is totally messed up to include his child in this and does not seem to have a care about anyone else’s kids’ either.
It does seem that Drew is attacking those that put up the ribbons, not the ribbons themselves.
What do you guys think would have happened if Drew either helped Sharon and the team put up the ribbons or made a statement via his PR guru that his kids do miss Stacy and they all worry about her and want her to come home. If he didn’t want to join in on theirs – imagine the reaction if he let his kids put their own little yellow ribbon out front for their mommy (Stacy) or did something to honor their other mommy (Kitty).
LOL @ “Hey, they’re a bunch of liars and low-life (expletives) but they’re my bunch of liars and low-life (expletives).”
TAI, IMO it would have been best if Drew just ignored the ribbons completely. Then none of this would have happened.
If a reporter wanted to know what he thought about the ribbon display, he could have used a statement written by Glenn or Joel.
IMO his help would not have been wanted since he is the reason for the ribbons in the first place … the reason that Kathleen and Stacy are not here.
Noway – I was just being facetious. I know they wouldn’t have wanted his help.
I agree that he should have ignored it but he cannot ignore things.
Drew can’t withdraw and do the sensible thing. He has to ‘win’, he has to prank someone, he has to do something that he can snicker about later.
Yes, doing nothing would have been the smart thing to do.
Facs – I took what my hubby always tells his friends about me (“she may be a be-otch, but she’s my be-otch!”) and modified it to the ocassion.
I truly think this is the same thing that he did with Kitty. There was talk about all of those calls to police and then he bragged about how HE was the one that did all of the calls. He pushed her buttons and then calls police.
Same deal with Lenny – give he son evil looks because he KNOWS Lenny will be called and then call 911.
He’s still a little boy. We all had this kind of kid in our class. The one that would kick you, poke you, pull your hair and when you got so pissed off that you pushed him – he’d tell the teacher.
I keep wondering if Drew had flash backs to the night Kitty died as he donned his black clothing, hopped the fence and then made his way to her old house (the ribbons marked the way).
*shudders*
Drew needs to get himself back on Mancow and challenge a ribbon rabble rouser to a fight and use his stealth abilities to disarm them of their “weapons.” Those ribbons are brutal in the wrong hands.
Facs @ 12:01 – and then used his family in unsavory ways to further his sinister activities, maybe threat or scare tactics. Hmmm. A teen bride, a teen son ~ what power he holds.
Fox news coverage of the incident (mostly taken from Hosey’s story):
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,510498,00.html
Should we be expecting a comment from Joel/Glenn soon?
Will the report of Drew’s activities have been blown way out of proportion? Or will they ignore this latest act of stupidity on their client’s part and hope it all goes away?
Maybe Joel or Glenn can explain why their client refused (on the advice of his attorney, so he says) to give a written statement for all the reasons he pushed 911 from his speed dial. I’d like to see the damning pictures DP took of the dangerous ribbon yielding rowdies, and maybe DP can find that Village ordinance he said made their activities illegal.
Now I understand why he called 911 so many times while he was in a contentious divorce with Kathleen. He uses it as his own personal agency every time he gets pissed off at someone. Oh, silly me, he never gets mad.
I wouldn’t expect anything from Selig. He spent the morning kissing himself and Twittering about every fart and burp the ex-governor made.
Sellit finally has a high-profile client with $$$. He probably wishes Mancow was Drew’s new PR guy.
Hang Drew’s posted a video now available of Drew cutting the ribbons down:
Appears to be no sound?
They are saying it was Kris who was out with Drew that night.
From the Chicagoist Blog:
http://chicagoist.com/2009/03/25/d-pete_cuts_down_ribbons_irritates.php
I do not expect anything good of Drew. What can I of this ARROGANT murderer without any remorses?
The only way is to put him behind bars for the sake of his and Chistina’s children future.
We cannot blame the children for their father (and I know you are far away from it) because they must survive somehow all of this. At least two adult women could not manage with Drew and were manipulated by him all the time. Manipulating his own children is a piece of cake for Drew. That’s so sad. Unfortunately, no one knows what impact it will have on them in future.
I can remember one of his first interviews when a woman reporter was at his home. He told the little ones to be good and watch TV, and if not, “you know what happens to no good children? They go UPSTAIRS.”
Each time I think about it, my blood boils.
Have you ever seen the video where he’s shown making his little ones lunch, and tells them they have half an hour to eat as he sets their plates down on the table?
A 4 and 5 year old know what half an hour is? Yes, sir, sergeant. Or what?
OK, so you guys know that if we play with the theme of the blog again, it’s only because we’re trying to find the best solution to all the things we want, right?
Just giving you a head’s up. Heh….
I just watched the video “ribbon cutting”. I hope Hosey did not base his story on it because I can’t see any ribbon cutting in it. Doesn’t it bother anyone else they have a little girl hanging ribbons on a tree at the first of the video and a tube of KY jelly at the end?
Looks like a grown woman to me in that video, so no, doesn’t bother me a bit.
Is the slime bit, that they put KY jelly on the tree and he got it on his hands when he went to cut the ribbon?
Actually, seeing the video made me feel much better about the incident. I saw the lovely ribbons being refreshed on the trees for Spring, and then the man who is losing it, attempt to cut one, get slimed and then return sheepishly to his house.
IMO, he really looked like the one who was out of control there.
Heh, IKELOL, are you starting to follow Peterson’s lead and refer to women as “little girls”? Eeek! Scary…
Well Facs it looks like a little girl to me and I think most people would say it does to with out the inside info that it is a grown woman. But who knows.
There wasn’t a lot of description and I wish there was audio. It’s hard to tell what’s going on there.
Doesn’t look like a little girl to me. Not a whit disturbing about the video, IKELOL. Disturbing is the mommykiller still out walking around. It’s not going to harm the investigation, it’s not going to harm the kids.
BTW I love the slimy surprise. Gotcha, duckhead.
If there was ever any doubt that drew is a narcissist (and there isn’t any doubt in my mind), the way he treats his children should erase any doubts.
He is not only a full-blown textbook version of a narcissist, I think the mental health profession will need to invent a new word to accurately describe the personality disorder with which he is afflicted.
Narcissism just seems to understate what is going on there.
Every now and again I catch myself and winder why I get so worked up over the antics of somebody I don’t know. I think it’s the injustice of the situation.
You can see why he thinks he leads a charmed life. He just gets away with his shenanigans over and over again and has – in HIS mind – become something of a ‘celebrity’.
At least we can be comforted by the knowledge that the higher they go, the harder they fall. Prison is going to be sheer and utter hell for him. I don’t know how he will stand it, mentally. And I CAN”T WAIT!
I’m not sure I understand the point of KY on memorial ribbons/trees except that it was to get Drew?

Ok I don’t understand why these people are coming forward supporting and vouching for Tom. He might have been the only person in the world that could have saved Stacys life from Drew and he failed and went along with Drew in the plan.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I’ve been thinking about this comment and wondering how you think Thomas Morphey could have saved Stacy’s life from Drew ???
What in your opinion could he have done ??
I wonder about that as well. Tom didn’t go along with the plan at all. It was only after the fact that he was hit with the possibility that he MIGHT have moved Stacy’s body. Evidently, that knowledge sent him in to a tailspin and led him to want to take his own life.
I don’t see anything there that indicates he was an accomplice or had any knowledge of what drew did.
Good Evening All,
Since today is Wed, means tomorrow is Thursday. Wonder if the GJ is meeting and if an indictment is near????
Will try and find out and let you all know.
I think Tom’s family and friends stick up for him because they know at heart he’s a decent human being. He has failings and those are all common knowledge at this point. The man tried to kill himself over what he thought he knew. Isn’t that atonement enough?
Drew, on the other hand, has no family or friends who will speak out publicly in his defense, and he will never, ever admit to any wrongdoing. It’s always someone else at fault. Everyone is crazy, drug-adled, hormonal, rejected, a runaway, spoiled, violent, media hungry, money hungry. All these people he surrounds himself with and then discards. They all have problems.
Hey WSF. I am thinking the GJ is being dismissed, if not already, and we’ll hear something soon. They had a complicated mess to sort out all these months, not to mention hearing evidence regarding Stebic’s case too.
I think justice will be coming.

LOL, the KY Jelly perpetrators must have known that was a sure thing !
FT, I don’t think Drew ever operates alone. I think Steve C knows a lot about what happened to Kitty Savio and that Mike R knows more than Thomas Morphey does about what happened to Stacy – a LOT more. The difference is that they didn’t speak out, they didn’t have the conscience that Morphey has. They still don’t.
Maybe Sells-ick should stick around in Chicago….just in case.
Hey Bucket – if he does stick around, we can refer him to a wing-ding of a place to eat and drink, heh?
I saw a little video clip with him in it today. Sellsit was so star-struck it was funny. He just cannot believe he has Blago as his client.
Hey, I rode in the elevator with him twice when he had a finance office on the floor of the building I worked in. But his hair/head gave new meaning to “reach out and touch someone.”
I wonder what became of the lad making the documentary in the aftermath of Stacy’s disappearance for a college project. David something. Still filming? …or grown up, moved away, gone to grad school, married, had kids…lol. I wonder what clues he may have inadvertently recorded?
Bucket – Facs and I wondered about him too. We were talking about him a month or so ago. She even found the video of him, I think.
That’s a good question. Wonder what did become of him?
Anyone else disappointed not to see Wing-gate and Tittergate anywhere? Really too bad because so many would enjoy the jokes.
Hey Rescue, Facs
Yes, I am disappointed. I thought it was outrageous, and surely that email Brosdky the Clown sent to the radio station merits a whole lot of bad publicity for both of the clowns. Why has the Bar Association not pulled Brodsky the Clown into line yet??!!
Small feathered friends tell me that “Wing-gate” should be appearing somewhere in a bit. 😉
Wing-gate? 😉
LOL
There goes Facs again, reading my mind!
http://www.myspace.com/crazydavidproductions
David Turvey’s MySpace.
I’m sure Tom Morphey beats himself up over what he didn’t do thousands of times a day. What he can do now is move on and stick around to testify against Drew Peterson.
I tell my kids “What’s done is done. Let’s move on and see what we can do from here.”
That may sound callous when we’re talking about a human life, but so be it.
If Tom had made a call to LE, they could have just as easily thought it was a prank and done nothing. We don’t know. We can only work with what is.
IMO
Don’t you wonder what Stacy thought would happen if SHE had made a call about Kathleen?
Will anyone ever know?
I am still trying to figure out why Tom is leaving out any mention of the money he tried to give to Martinek that he said drew paid him. Why in the telling of his story does he leave that out but tells how drew offered him 2k to rent a storage shed? Where did that MONEY come from.
I can’t see Brodsky getting away with his behaviour in here. A decent judge will not tolerate wasting everyone’s time and temper.
Likewise, I once imagined how duckhead might fare in our overcrowded prisons bunking with Albanian gangsters. Now, those are people who really know what it means to have nothing to lose! (and some of them are crazy). Of course he can’t serve his time here, but maybe the Illinois prison system could be searched to see if there may be some Albanians already in the system :-).
See you all later. It’s break time!
iknoweverythinglol, are you exercising reasonable doubts before the real case in court? there are no doubts.
IKELOL … I’m hoping Tom Morphey keeps most of the details to himself … until he testifies.
I wonder…When is the trial going to begin ? 😉
Sorry, I was so long posting….
Imagine Drew says to you what he said to Tom about killing for him. And then about knowig about it. IT’S TOO LATE!!!! What do you say to that cop you know is crooked and probably already have committed one. Yeah…sorry Drew, can I go home now?
That’s great that Tom returned this money (with Drew’s fingerprints on it) to the police. Otherwise, Carroll could accuse him of avoiding to pay taxes of it 🙂
What was that money paid to him for?
Helping him move the barrel and babysitting his cell phone.
iknoweverythinglol Says:

——–
He was supposed to give it to the charity. Everyone knows Drew has a big heart, right?
I hope LE has checked Drew’s bank records from the day before. I suppose they have at this point. It does seem like he tends to have large amounts of cash around though, and I doubt he’d be dumb enough to make this $2k withdrawal the day before he pays someone hush-money.
I just don’t understand I guess. He gave alot of details out to the news and media, he just left the money part out and we already knew a little about it. He mentions the 2k drew offered him for renting the storage unit but does not say what the money he recieved was for.
I don’t think I have seen it anywhere how much money drew was supposed to have given to tom.
iknoweverythinglol Says:

You need our help, don’t you? I am not going to tell you where I found this infomation.
Tom did give a certain amount of detail, but I bet there’s more. The money would seem to me to be the kind of detail best kept quiet.
Tom did the right thing, and definitely the best he could at the time. He tried to kill himself, and IMO Drew was hoping to frame and kill Tom.
We’ll have to wait til the trial to learn more.
Well Charly, I take it that it must have been mentioned in a Martineck interview because I dont think Tom has ever talked about the Money Drew actually gave to him other then telling Martineck.
So what are you getting at?
Did Drew admit to giving Tom any money?
I mean he finally admitted that he saw Tom on Saturday and among other things, visited the storage facility to “inquire” about renting a unit.
IIRC Drew denied that he asked Tom to rent the unit in his own name, and so most likely would not have given him cash for that day when Tom did have his ID and could rent the unit.
And Bucket, I agree that some thing are better kept quiet.
🙂 noway lol
For those who criticise Tom for not calling the cops to inform them Drew just asked him if he would kill for him…
drew was a serving police officer at the time and evidently was treated to a ridiculous amount of protection from his comrades.
I mean, Kathleen had made loads of phone calls when HER life was in danger and they went ignored.
Even if Tom Morphey did call the cops that night, do you seriously think anything at all would have been done? No way. Not in time anyway, considering Tom didn’t realise who it was drew was referring to. Tom thought it was Stacey’s supposed lover.
There’s no way the cops would have acted if Tom rang with a general idea drew was planning on killing…someone?!
I wonder if Martinek took the money that night or if he refused to accept it. Either way I think it’s been established that Drew paid Tom some amount of money for his help and his silence.
The details will probably not be made public until and if the case goes to trial, I imagine.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda.
I was wondering…How long it would take for it to come down to TM calling or not calling. He was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t.
I wonder…Will he make that same mistake again ?
I THINK NOT !
I wonder…How many of us would have done the same or differently if put in the SAME EXACT position TM was placed in ??
I honestly can’t say what I would do because well I just can’t know ahead of time how I would react. I would like to think I would do the right thing, but if I was afraid for my family ?? that sorta changes the picture 😉
Just saw this posted on another board:
I wonder…Was there ever not a critical time in this investigation ?
Sadly, it doesn’t surprise me that Laci was playing in the street unsupervised. Does anybody remember a photograph of him in a shopping centre car park? Laci was running around there as well.
When I have my 2-year-old nephew at the shops I grab his hand for dear life and don’t let go because it only takes toddlers half a second to run off and into the path of a car. They are quick little buggers 🙂
1wonderwoman, you know I never thoguht about Tom Morphey calling or not calling the cops. I still believe that even if he did, it wouldn’t have resulted in anything due to no concrete evidence and the protection drew was enjoying at the time.
At least he will be taken off the street soon. Of course the terrible irony is that Kitty and Stacy had to pay with their lives for that to happen.
Has anybody seen the movie What Happens in Vegas? When my friend and I were in America we wanted to drive to Bolingbrook and do what the Lake Bell character wanted to do to Cameron Diaz’s ex boy-friend:
Knock on the door, punch him in his man parts and when he cries and says ‘what was that for’, say ‘you know what that was for’.
LOL
I know what you mean Aussie. I’m not generally a fan of Geraldo Rivera but something about the way he spoke about Drew when he was ‘pranked’ by Mancow into talking to Drew on the phone, just felt so good and right.

For those who criticise Tom for not calling the cops to inform them Drew just asked him if he would kill for him…
drew was a serving police officer at the time and evidently was treated to a ridiculous amount of protection from his comrades.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That’s exactly right !
Kathleen reported specifics and still no one acted and Police is not pro-active in preventing crime, they can only be re-active !
I was just looking at the eyes-for-lies blog and read the disection of drew’s very first interview with Matt Lauer.
This bit is pleasing:
“I believe the ONE and ONLY reason Peterson came on TV to do an interview was purely with the hope he will get free legal services. He knows if he gets good legal representation, NO ONE CAN HARM HIM, or take anything away from him. As a police officer, he knows good legal representation means freedom”.
That says it all. drew does NOT have good legal representation, so I would say his little plan will be the undoing of him in the end.
For anyone who has never seen it:
http://www.eyesforlies.blogspot.com/2007/11/drew-petersons-interview-with-matt.html
Thomas was between a rock and a hard place from the word go as Drew took advantage of him being his step brother and a serving Police Officer at the same time !
Yep. And here we are with the end result of DP’s actions. One dead exwife One missing presumed dead wife. DREW PETERSON is the murderer. NOT TM. TM is a victim in this in my opinion, yeah he could have done some things differently, hindsight is 20-20 ;)But He DID go to the police after trying to take his own life. Taking one’s own life is a serious thing to consider, and I can certainly see why he was freaking out after DP dropped him off.
I wonder…Will the TM issue ever be resolved ?? I know where I stand on it. It’s “wonderful” for anyone else to have a different opinions and I enjoy the discussion.
So now for my next wonder….When oh when will we hear from the GJ either way ??
1W, I keep thinking that GJ has to be almost done, right?
I would think so. I wonder..Will there be some type of an annoucement and through whom ?
Happy GJ Eve. My bed is calling my name about now.
G’nite all. Have a wonderful night 😉
Even if this GJ gets sent home, the SA can bring the same information forward to a fresh GJ. Maybe they wouldn’t call the witnesses again but could show the new GJ the transcripts from the previous testimony of those witnesses. So the end of the GJ does not mean that DP is home free by any stretch of the imagination.
I would like to cheer you and myself up a little bit … 😉
Though we are all very impatient about Drew being at large, it has its good sides.
Imagine he had been arrested at the very beginning. I am sure he would have been really free now and brought in as not guilty. After a week or two, with Stacy’s body missing and all the support Drew had in the legal world, fake letters and little information on Drew’s past, GJ could have basis to assume Stacy ran away with another man.
Now we know how many crooks have been around Drew, and I believe it is not just one-way investigation. There were so many people involved who made false statements and wrong decisions. so many documents that have been questioned.
Lots of Drew’s supporters are still in power. It is not so easy, I believe, to proof they were corrupted or did the things for political or whatsoever reason.
Good morning!
I’ve just checked the updated Will County court schedule to find there is no new court date listed for Drew, Tom and Kris since the status hearing on March 18th. Whatever it was dropped?
Drew is having to hold Kris very close because he has reason to fear his honest testimony. Kris was present during the gun ‘transpher’ and I’m thinking now may have been the boy who Drew played with with strippers online too.
Good morning everyone.
Hope everyone has a grand day!

The Drew stew . . .
Click. Click. The continuing saga of Drew Peterson never ends. Now comes word the former Bolingbrook cop, whose fourth wife, Stacy, is still missing, and third wife, Kathleen, died under suspicious circumstances, did a photo shoot/interview with People magazine hitting newsstands Friday!
• • The kicker: Peterson is photographed with his 24-year-old fiancee, Christina. There ya go.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/sneed/1496737,CST-NWS-SNEED26.article
What are they thinking?…..oooohh last interview before arrest!
Hmmm. Seems like Drew only has a problem with selling a story when he’s not the one getting a benefit from it.
Flashback…
Source: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0803/21/ng.01.html
I know there were other quotes directly from Drew about Rick Mims and other people ripping on them for trying to sell a story. Guess Drew needs to rebuild his little stash of money or he’s having financial troubles…
Further to recent mention here of David Turvey,here’s a link to Danya’s post about David Turvey, January 17th, 2008.

Yeah Joel doesn’t mind making a buck off of Drew’s media appearances, but he finds the trait very distateful and applies it liberally to others:

It seems to me, we are the only ones to blame Peterson for free 😉
To clarify, I don’t think the USPS actually gave permission for them to put ribbons on every mailbox on Pheasant Chase. I think they may have contacted the USPS, and were told it did not violate any postal regulations.
They would still need the permission of the mailbox owner.
And for the record, although I’ve been told spellng does not matter …
LACI Peterson was the murdered wife of Scott Peterson.
LACY Peterson is the daughter of Stacy Peterson.
was http://www.acandyrose.com and other media sources have her name spelled with a Y.
What a wonderful morning. Happy GJ Day !
I wonder….When will I be able to say Happy Jury Selection Day ? 😉
For now, I’d settle for being able to say Happy Indictment Day, Drew Peterson!
But I look forward to Happy Jury Selection Day too.
Sorry if this has been posted already.
IL residents especially should read this article about HB45:
http://www.murphymilanojournal.blogspot.com/
Need Your Help & Support to Stop HB45 Allows Murderers Over 50 years old To Be Released From Prison
The Illinois General Assembly is voting on a dangerous bill, HB45. This means that any inmate, all convicted murderers serving 25 years or more for mass murder or horrific crimes like rape and murder of a child, etc – a chance at release when they reach the age of 50 which the bill calls “elderly”, even if they are serving life without parole!
More at link above.
As goes the saying ~ hey, I’m just the messenger!
http://www.prnewschannel.com/absolutenm/templates/?a=1296&z=4
Photo spread?
Wouldn’t Hustler Magazine be more apropos? She can photo “spread” it all she wants.
Here is your tonic for the above.
Watch the “newest” video on the vodpod list. The “Stacy Peterson Missing” one. It’s actually an old video. Make sure to watch the last few minutes where Cassandra speaks out loud to Stacy and tells her that she is looking for her.
If that doesn’t break your heart, then you don’t have one.
“an opportunity for PEOPLE readers to see him in a new light” ????
You’re not yet divorced from your wife Stacy (and she has not been heard from in a year and you’re the only suspect in her disappearance) and you’re appearing in photos with your fiance?
I think the new light is the same as the old light. Nothing has changed except you’re now engaged.
Drew, you are scum.
What is Selig’s obsession with trying to create a sparkly lemon-scented picture of the murder suspect and his tawdry bride-to-be?
It’s too freakin’ late! Drew has been showing us what he really is for a year and a half. Some glossy pictures in a magazine aren’t going to change anyone’s mind.
Shame on People magazine.
Like I think, facs. He should not feel so flattered because they think it will be his last splash before arrest. 🙂
But still, shame on that vapid rag.
Wow. A press release about this? Unbelievable. I wonder if Drew got to see the article before it gets released. I think Drew keeps thinking he is going to be shown in a new light but I don’t think it works. The more he opens his pie hole, the more ridiculous he sounds to me.
And why the heck does Selig put this out there like it was an honor for Drew to be in People magazine previously? It isn’t like they said such great things about him.

and a longer version at:
http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20170845,00.html
Yup – Drew is very good at saying everyone is trying to make a buck off of this case yet People also included this quote from him:
Source: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20247587,00.html
For the record, here is the cover of the mag the last time People featured Drew.
Drew’s PR is certainly trying to put a positive spin on the story, but I’ll be he hasn’t seen it yet. It may very well show up Drew as the creep he is.
I’m going to try to refrain from judgment until I see the actual story.
One of the posters at another site heard Joe Hosey on the radio today and was kind enough to post a link to the recording:
http://560wind.townhall.com/MediaPlayer/AudioPlayer.aspx?ContentGuid=5eb16379-9dd6-4449-8dd0-36375212b7d4
He was on Wind 560AM this morning on the John and Cisco show. It starts around 19 minutes in.
Maybe the ‘new light’ reveals his sexual predator of underage girls side, or maybe his tiny scared loser side.
For Mr. Peterson, this was an opportunity for PEOPLE readers to see him in a new light.”
****
Once I breathe and get over the repulsion about People doing an article on these dual mutants, the PR from Selig is just spin. Hopefully. “For Mr. Peterson” and “opportunity” in the same sentence could mean, maybe, that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and not necesarily what the rest of us might see.
In other words, in Peterson’s mind, he thinks this is a fairy tale, a storybook romance. For us, it’s just another vomit-filled day.
I listened to the radio show but didn’t glean anything new. Hosey sounds frustrated and puzzled by the lack of an arrest in either case – as are we all.

You didn’t hear any plugs for a side business, by any chance, did you facs? A printing company, a computer repair business, something a reporter might want to do as a sideline? After all, the chicken wing business is already taken.
I would like to know if his son went to school the day after the ribbon raid? Did he stay home to catch up on his sleep? That would be no excuse to miss school. If he was absent, the school should be notified. Maybe, they were on spring break. Anyone know?
BBHS is on break the week of April 5th.
Here is something those of you in Illinois should be very worried about!!
http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/2009/03/does-life-end-at-50-proposal-to-give-elderly-prisoners-a-break-stirs-victims-rights-advocates.html
Does `life’ end at 50? Proposal to give elderly prisoners a break stirs victims’ rights advocates
Illinois House Bill 45 now in Springfield would allow prisoners age 50 and up who have served at least 25 years in prison (convicted murderers, in other words) to petition the Illinois Prisoner Review Board for an “elderly sentence adjustment.”
If the Prisoner Review Board determines that a committed person… should receive a sentence adjustment, the Prisoner Review Board shall set the conditions for the committed person’s release from prison before the expiration of the committed person’s sentence.
Justice-reform advocates need to be careful with legislation like this. The sentence of life without parole — LWOP, as it’s called — dramatically bolsters popular support for abolition of the death penalty. But if “life in prison” comes to mean “25 years in prison or until you turn 50,” support for the death penalty will increase.
Victims’ rights advocate Susan Murphy Milano is trying to generate opposition to this bill on her blog on the grounds that certain dreadful and notorious killers would become technically eligible for release. IllinoisVictims.org is also raising objections.
What do you think?
http://murphymilanojournal.blogspot.com/2009/03/need-your-help-support-to-stop-hb45.html
Get busy!! Make phone calls, write emails, fax!! Show your opposition for this bill!
It still would be interesting, to find out if he was in school or not. Running around the street after mid-night is not a very good thing. His father should know better than to involve a child.
Thanks for the radio link, Facs. I just listened to it, and you’re right that it’s nothing new, except I think it’s the first time I’ve heard Joe indicate the police may be the ones obstructing the advance of charges…because they’d ‘have a lot of explaining to do’.
Thanks Delilah. Noway posted it earlier up the thread.
Don’t you think Christina and Drew had been lovers long before Stacy went missing? Today I have watched again the videos with her after she left Drew and cannot stop thinking of it. At two or three points I got impression she was feeling guilty. Honestly, I think she left Drew for a few days because the GJ called her in. I wonder if GJ asked her how long she had been having sex with Drew, instead of how long she had known him. Drew have always looked for another woman when any problems in his marriages started. He says, Stacy changed after her sister’s death. I think Drew found someone else and started humiliating her. Otherwise, why would a 21/22-year-old woman/girl had plastic surgery? He started to be very controlling (because he judges other people accordingly to his own actions).
I wonder if ISP is taking it under consideration.
In the reverse speech analysis of Drew’s interviews he says “I have sex with a doll”. Doesn’t Chrissy act like his sex doll? She has really little to say.
Can we anywhere find the text of the new bill?
Do you mean the “hearsay bill” that was passed?
