12 Crimes of Christmas - "THE COP WHO KILLED HIS WIVES: DREW PETERSON'S BATHTUB MURDER & THE WIFE WHO VANISHED"
Reid Carter concludes the 12 Crimes of Christmas with the police sergeant who murdered his third wife and likely killed his fourth. March 2004: Kathleen Savio found dead in dry bathtub - ruled accidental despite bruises and gash to head. October 2007: Fourth wife Stacy, 23, vanishes. Stepbrother helped Peterson carry warm blue barrel from bedroom - tried to kill himself afterward believing Stacy was inside. Body never found. Stacy had told her pastor Drew confessed to killing Kathleen. "Drew's Law" allowed hearsay testimony. September 2012: Convicted. 38 years. Then 40 more for plotting to kill the prosecutor.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.599
Callarogus Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Sunday, January fourth,
2
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.839
twenty twenty six. Welcome to the finale of our twelve
3
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.600
Crimes of Christmas series, and we're ending with a cop
4
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.399
who thought his badge made him untouchable. October twenty eighth,
5
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.120
two thousand and seven, Ballingbrook, Illinois, Thomas Morphy gets a
6
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.039
call from his stepbrother Drew Peterson. Drew's a police sergeant
7
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.359
twenty nine years on the force, needs help with something.
8
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.200
Drew picks him up. They drive to Drew's house on
9
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.200
Pheasant Chase Court. Drew leads Thomas upstairs to the master bedroom.
10
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.439
There's a blue plastic barrel big enough to hold a body.
11
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.960
Drew says, help me carry this. Thomas grabs one end.
12
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.000
It's heavy and warm to the touch. They carry it downstairs,
13
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.079
loaded into Drew's gmc denali. Drew looks at Thomas and
14
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:03.640
says this never happened. The next day, Drew Peterson's fourth wife,
15
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.079
twenty three year old Stacy, is reported missing. Thomas Morphy
16
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:13.120
believed Stacy's body was in that barrel. The guilt overwhelmed him.
17
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.079
He swallowed bottles of xanax and Paxel tried to kill
18
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.920
himself survived. Stacy Peterson has never been found, but her
19
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.719
disappearance triggered something made investigators take a second look at
20
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.959
the death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. She'd
21
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.840
been found dead in a dry bathtub three years earlier,
22
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.280
ruled an accidental drowning case closed, except now they reopened it,
23
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.400
exhumed her body, found evidence of a struggle, reclassified her
24
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.599
death as homicide. Drew Peterson copp husband father, was charged
25
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.640
with murder September twenty twelve, convicted thirty eight years in prison,
26
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.079
but that wasn't enough for Drew. From his prison cell,
27
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.239
he plotted to have the prosecutor killed, got caught, convicted
28
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.040
again forty more years. Drew Peterson will die in prison,
29
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.039
but his fourth wife has never been found and her
30
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.719
family is still waiting for justice. I'm Red Carter. This
31
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:15.400
is celebrity trials today, the cop who killed his wives.
32
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:21.599
This is the finale of our twelve Crimes of Christmas.
33
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.520
Drew Walter Peterson was born January fifth, nineteen fifty four.
34
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.800
Grew up in the Chicago suburbs. Joined the Bolingbrook Police
35
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.039
Department in nineteen seventy seven, rose through the ranks, became
36
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.520
a sergeant, worked nights, respected by some colleagues, feared by others.
37
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.159
He was also a serial husband, four marriages, each one
38
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.840
ending worse than the last. Wife Number one Carol Brown,
39
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.000
married in the nineteen seventies. Had two sons, Eric and Stephen.
40
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:57.680
The marriage ended in divorce. Carol later described Drew as controlling, abusive.
41
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.080
Wife Number two Victoria Connolly, married in nineteen eighty two,
42
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.680
divorced in nineteen ninety two. Victoria would later tell investigators
43
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:11.240
that Drew was obsessive, possessive, that leaving him was terrifying.
44
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.000
Wife number three, Kathleen Savio. This is where the bodies
45
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.840
start piling up. Drew met Kathleen in nineteen ninety two.
46
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.879
She was twenty eight, he was thirty eight. They married
47
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.960
that same year. Had two sons together, Thomas and Christopher,
48
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.719
but the marriage was violent from the start. Kathleen filed
49
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.000
for divorce in two thousand and one. The proceedings were bitter.
50
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.919
They fought over everything, the house, the pension, the children.
51
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.639
In two thousand and two and two thousand and three,
52
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:47.240
Kathleen filed eighteen police reports against Drew alleged abuse, stalking threats.
53
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.080
She wrote a letter to the Will County States Attorney
54
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.240
begging for help. He wants me dead and if he
55
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.120
has to, he will burn the house down just to
56
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.479
kill me, she wrote. I really believe if he will,
57
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.080
he knows how to manipulate the system and his family
58
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:09.199
as well. Nobody helped her. Drew was a cop, his
59
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.840
fellow officers knew him, protected him. The reports went nowhere.
60
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.079
The divorce was finalized in October two thousand and three.
61
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.800
Kathleen was supposed to receive a portion of Drew's pension
62
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.680
and other assets. The final settlement was scheduled for early
63
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.480
two thousand and four, but before that could happen, Drew
64
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.319
was already on to wife number four. Stacy Anne Kle's
65
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.600
was nineteen years old when she started dating Drew Peterson.
66
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.120
He was forty nine. She was a hotel receptionist, he
67
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.240
was a police sergeant. She'd had a troubled childhood. Her
68
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.920
own mother had disappeared in nineteen ninety eight and was
69
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.920
never found. Drew started dating Stacy while still married to Kathleen,
70
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.720
moved her into his life before the divorce was even
71
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.680
final They married on October eighteenth, two thousand and three,
72
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:02.319
days after his divorce from Kathleen was finalized. Stacy was young, naive,
73
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.920
thought she'd found stability with an older man, a cop,
74
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.279
someone who could protect her. She had no idea what
75
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.639
she'd married into. In March two thousand and four, five
76
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.680
months after Drew married Stacy, Kathleen Savio was found dead.
77
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.879
She was in the bathtub of her home, a house
78
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.639
less than a mile from where Drew now lived with Stacy.
79
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.839
The tub was dry, Kathleen's hair was wet. She had
80
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.959
a large gash on the back of her head bruises
81
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.759
on her body. The initial investigation was handled by Illinois
82
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.839
State Police, but one of the coroner's jurors was a
83
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.600
police officer who personally knew Drew Peterson. He assured the
84
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.120
other jurors that Drew was a good man who had
85
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.800
never hurt his wife. The death was ruled accidental drowning.
86
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.720
Case closed. Drew Peterson inherited the house, got the kids,
87
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.240
avoided paying the divorce settlement. Kathleen Savio was forty years old,
88
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.800
mother of two, had spent years begging for help, warning
89
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.680
people that Drew would kill her. Nobody listened and now
90
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.560
she was dead. Rest in peace, Kathleen, Someone has to
91
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:23.000
say your name. For three years, Drew Peterson got away
92
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.399
with it, lived his life, raised his kids, worked his job.
93
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.480
Married to a woman thirty years younger than him, Stacy
94
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.240
Peterson tried to make it work, had two children Withdrew,
95
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.199
Anthony in two thousand and three and Lacy in two
96
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.279
thousand and five. Legally adopted Kathleen's sons, treating them like
97
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.360
her own. Four children total, a house in the suburbs,
98
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.040
a husband with a pension. But by two thousand and seven,
99
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.120
Stacy wanted out. She was twenty three years old, had
100
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.439
spent four years with a controlling, possessive man, three decades
101
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.079
her senior old friends that having sex with Drew made
102
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.759
her skin crawl, that she didn't love him anymore, that
103
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.879
she wanted a divorce. She consulted a divorce attorney, bought
104
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:13.199
a new cell phone. She hid from Drew, started packing
105
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.600
boxes of his belongings, trying to kick him out of
106
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.560
the house. She told me Drew wouldn't go. Her neighbor,
107
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:25.800
Sharon Bachowski, later testified he wouldn't leave, but Stacy had
108
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:30.199
something else, something that could destroy Drew. Peterson she knew
109
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.920
the truth about Kathleen. Before Kathleen died, Stacy had been
110
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.120
Drew's alibi, told police he was home with her the
111
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.839
night Kathleen was killed, but Stacy later confided in her pastor,
112
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.839
Reverend Neil Shorey, that she'd lied. Stacey told the reverend
113
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:49.680
she woke up in the middle of the night when
114
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.560
Kathleen was killed, Drew wasn't in bed. In the early morning,
115
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.519
she saw him removing his clothing and emptying the contents
116
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.879
of a bag into the washing machine. Told Stacy he'd
117
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:04.040
killed Kathleen, taught her how to lie to police if
118
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:09.160
they started asking questions. Stacey also told Kathleen's former divorce attorney,
119
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.199
Harry Smith, that she wanted to use Drew's murder of
120
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.319
Kathleen as leverage in her own divorce. Can I use
121
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.279
this against him? She asked. Drew Peterson knew his fourth
122
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.120
wife could send him to prison, and in October two
123
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:28.319
thousand and seven, Stacy Peterson vanished. October twenty eighth, two
124
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.839
thousand and seven, Drew told people he last saw Stacy
125
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.240
leaving their home around ten or eleven am. She was
126
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.320
supposed to meet a friend and help paint a house
127
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.360
never arrived. Drew said he spoke to Stacy by phone
128
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.399
at nine pm that night. She told him she'd left
129
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.440
him for another man. Her car was at Klow Airport,
130
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.879
about four hundred yards from their home, keys on the floorboard,
131
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:55.639
doors unlocked. But nothing about Drew's story made sense. None
132
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.519
of Stacy's clothing was missing, she hadn't withdrawn money from
133
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.600
their bank counts. Her cell phone was never used again.
134
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:08.000
She left behind four children, including two toddlers, without a word.
135
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.480
And then there was the blue barrel. A neighbor saw
136
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.559
Drew and another man loading a large blue container into
137
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:18.399
Drew's suv around the time Stacy disappeared. That man was
138
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:23.759
Thomas Morphy, Drew's stepbrother. Morphy later told police everything. Drew
139
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.759
had called him the day before Stacy vanished, asked him
140
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.639
a chilling question, how much do you love me? I do?
141
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.919
Morphy said, enough to kill for me. The next day,
142
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.639
Drew picked up Morphy, took him to a park, talked
143
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:42.080
about Stacy allegedly cheating on him, said he had to
144
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:46.159
take care of the problem. Then they went to Drew's house.
145
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.200
Drew led Morphy upstairs to the master bedroom. There was
146
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.240
the blue barrel, heavy warm to the touch. They carried
147
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.159
it downstairs, loaded it into Drew's truck. Drew looked at
148
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.320
Morphy and said, this never happened. Morphy went home, couldn't
149
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.320
stop thinking about what he'd done, what was in that barrel.
150
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:11.399
He knew, he knew Stacy was inside. The guilt destroyed him.
151
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.240
On October twenty ninth, the day Stacy was reported missing,
152
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.120
Thomas Morphy swallowed bottles of xanax and paxel, tried to
153
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:23.840
kill himself, was rushed to the hospital. Survived. At the hospital.
154
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:28.360
Prosecutors offered Morphy immunity in exchange for his cooperation. He
155
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:32.120
took the deal, told them everything. But Stacy's body has
156
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.519
never been found. The blue barrel has never been recovered.
157
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.360
Wherever Drew Peterson disposed of his fourth wife, he did
158
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.679
it well enough that seventeen years later, she's still missing.
159
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:47.399
Drew maintained his innocence, told reporters Stacy ran off with
160
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:52.720
another man called Morphy mentally ill, bipolar, alcoholic, unreliable, but
161
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:57.200
nobody believed him, and Stacy's disappearance forced investigators to take
162
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:01.120
another look at Kathleen Savio. The death Drew had gotten
163
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.639
away with for three years, was about to catch up
164
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.759
with him. We'll be right back with the murder conviction,
165
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.240
the Hearsay law named after Drew Peterson, and the prison
166
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:28.759
plot to kill the prosecutor. November two thousand and seven,
167
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:33.480
Kathleen Saviot's body was exhumed. Doctor Michael Baden, former New
168
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:38.480
York City medical examiner, conducted a new forensic examination. His
169
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:44.320
conclusion Kathleen died from drowning following a violent struggle. Her
170
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.519
body had been placed in the bathtub to make it
171
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.399
look like an accident. The bruises, the gash on her head,
172
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.679
the position of her body in a dry tub, none
173
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.799
of it was consistent with accidental drowning. February two thousand
174
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:02.159
and eight, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow announced the findings.
175
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:07.720
Kathleen Savio's death was ruled a homicide, a homicide staged
176
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:12.159
to look like an accident, Glasgow said. May two thousand
177
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.440
and nine, Drew Peterson was indicted for the murder of
178
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:19.759
Kathleen Savio, but prosecutors had a problem. Their case was
179
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:25.200
almost entirely circumstantial. No murder weapon, no eye witnesses, no
180
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.879
DNA evidence placing Drew at the scene. What they had
181
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:34.039
was hearsay statements Kathleen and Stacy had made to friends, family, attorneys,
182
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.879
and clergy statements about Drew's violence, his threats, his confession
183
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.840
to Stacy about killing Kathleen. Under normal rules of evidence,
184
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:47.639
hearsay isn't admissible. You can't testify about what someone else
185
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.879
told you. The defendant has a sixth Amendment right to
186
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:55.360
confront witnesses against him. But Kathleen was dead and Stacy
187
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.600
had disappeared, likely killed by the same man on trial.
188
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.120
Illinois legislator saw the problem. In two thousand and eight,
189
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:05.360
they passed a new law. It allowed prosecutors to introduce
190
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.279
hearsay testimony in murder cases if they could prove the
191
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:12.600
defendant killed the witness to prevent them from testifying. They
192
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:17.039
called it Drew's Law. Drew Peterson's own crimes had created
193
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.399
the legal mechanism that would convict him. The trial began
194
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:25.559
in July twenty twelve. Prosecutor James Glasgow presented the hearsay evidence.
195
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.600
Reverend Neil Shorey testified about what Stacy told him that
196
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:33.039
Drew confessed to killing Kathleen, that Drew taught Stacy how
197
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.399
to lie to police. Harry Smith, Kathleen's divorce attorney, testified
198
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.320
that Stacy wanted to use Drew's murder of Kathleen as
199
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.919
leverage in her own divorce. Thomas Morphy testified about the
200
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:50.759
blue barrel, the warmth Drew's words, this never happened. Drew's
201
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.679
own son, Eric Peterson, testified about watching his father drag
202
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:59.120
Kathleen into the house by her hair in nineteen ninety three.
203
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:03.240
She was screaming for help. Eric said the defense attacked
204
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:07.799
the witnesses, called Morphy mentally ill, called the hearsay unreliable,
205
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.200
argued there was no physical evidence of murder, but the
206
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.879
jury believed the voices from beyond the grave. September sixth,
207
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:21.200
twenty twelve, after fourteen hours of deliberation, the jury returned
208
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:26.240
its verdict guilty first degree murder. Drew Peterson showed no emotion.
209
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.840
His family sat in stunned silence. Kathleen Saviot's relatives wept
210
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:36.600
with relief. At sentencing, Drew addressed the court, broke down
211
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:41.600
in tears, called Kathleen's family liars, accused Prosecutor Glasgow of
212
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.440
destroying his life. Mister Glasgow, all aspects of my life
213
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.679
have been destroyed. Peterson said, never forget my face, never
214
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.879
forget what you've done. I don't deserve this. Judge Edward
215
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:59.039
Bermilla was unmoved, called Peterson remorseless, sentenced him to thirty
216
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.480
eight years in prison. Drew Peterson was fifty nine years old.
217
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.879
Even with credit for time served, he'd be well into
218
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.200
his nineties before he'd be eligible for release. But Drew
219
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:14.320
wasn't done making enemies. In twenty fourteen, prosecutors discovered that
220
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:17.879
Drew had been plotting from prison, trying to hire someone
221
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:21.559
to kill James Glasgow, the prosecutor who'd put him away.
222
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.919
Drew recruited a fellow inmate to help, offered ten thousand
223
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.759
dollars for the hit, didn't realize the inmate was cooperating
224
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:35.840
with authorities recording everything. March twenty sixteen, Drew Peterson was
225
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.519
convicted of solicitation of murder for hire, sentenced to an
226
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.240
additional forty years. He's now serving a total of seventy
227
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.480
eight years. He'll be one hundred forty nine years old
228
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.240
when his sentences are complete. Drew Peterson will die in prison,
229
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.360
but Stacy Peterson has never been found and the family
230
00:15:53.480 --> 00:16:01.200
is still waiting where they are now. Drew Peterson is
231
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.799
seventy one years old, incarcerated at the Terrey Hate Federal
232
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:09.519
Correctional Complex in Indiana, still filing motions, still claiming innocence,
233
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:13.159
still trying to overturn his conviction. In twenty twenty one,
234
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:16.919
he filed a petition arguing he received ineffective legal counsel,
235
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.000
said his attorney, Joel Brodsky, refused to let him testify
236
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:24.200
in his own defense. The petition has been working its
237
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:28.320
way through the courts. In January twenty twenty five, a
238
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:32.919
judge ruled Peterson mentally competent to pursue his appeals. He
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.599
2
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.839
