Prosecutor, Peterson Lawyer Clash At Court

Joliet Herald News
JOLIET, Ill. (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― Prosecutors and attorneys for Drew Peterson hammered out details Thursday afternoon for jury selection in his felony gun trial.

The lengthy discussions primarily were held behind closed doors in the chambers of Judge Richard Schoenstedt.

Schoenstedt said 150 potential jurors would be summoned for Dec. 5, and would be subjected to a questionnaire prior to actual jury selection.

During a break from the discussions, Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, refuted a statement by Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow that there would be a resolution soon in the investigation of the March 2004 death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, or the October 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

"There is an election in a couple days. I think it has more to do with that than anything else," Brodsky said. "We have heard an arrest is imminent for many months now. I don't believe any of that."

Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the state's attorney's office, said, "State's Attorney Glasgow is confident that at least one of these investigations will come to a resolution at some point in the near future."
