chicago, former cop, need i say more?

Thank you IA Scooter. So many cops have been convicted of spousal battery that when congress passed that law about 15 years ago that said any man convicted of domestic battery cannot own a firearm, they had to immediately change the law to exclude police officers because they would have lost almost half their force nationwide, not just chicago.

And not only do they think they are above the law in these matters that many women who call them to tell them that their husband or exhusband is after them they intentially show up about 90 minutes later. Its a shame that he has been allowed to kill to women and lived a long while as a free man with wife number three after he killed wife number two.

All you macho battering cops out there think about your attitude when someone is battering your sister, daughter or grandaughter. You bunch of sickos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I take it your reading skills aren't too good:

"Appellate court battles over hearsay statements slowed down the process, the AP reported."

I thought that justice had forgotten about this SOB

Fantastic! Now, send him to his cell to meet his new love 'BRUNO'!

I take it your reading skills aren't too good

For some, all it takes are stereotypes and assumptions to blindly walk through life.

Thank God, it's about time this assh**e was arrested. Michael numerous numbers.....There isn't an exception for cops on domestic violence, if they are convicted of domestic violence...this is a big old IF ...they are off the force, and cannot carry a weapon....I suspect that was the motivation for this guy offing all his wives, the last one he made sure there was no body so he could make sure he wasn't "'caught", also why he had this second wife cremated...BUT there was still a autopsy and police reports to go on... or he wouldn't be going down for this one.

Sociopaths are hard for some people to spot and take down.

Pat yes they did, when that law was passed they had to make immediate exception. Maybe now since that law is in place they are told when hired and notified of the consequences. But my point is that at the time of this laws passing a lot of cops had been convicted of domestic battery.

I think it's the needle it all states now.

your right pixie, damn it all, sometimes a good old fashioned rope is needed. screw the whole PC crowds "painless" needle crap.

AS irony has it, I just watched the Drew Peterson story for a 2nd time two nights ago. My friend that watched it with me never had heard of Drew Peterson. Rob Lowe did a spectacular job portraying him. The script ad direction were great two. What came out of me watching the movie a 2nd time, (which I never do), that there is not a shortage of ignorant women buying into the likes of Drew and so many like him. Stacy Peterson was actually sleeping with Drew in the basement of the house he shared with his then current wife - Salvio right before she got conveniently killed. What was Stacey THINKING??????? Drew is an evil and very calculating man. The dealth penalty can't come much sooner.

Didn't Illinois just abolish the death penalty?

Catchick is correct. Illinois does not have the death penalty.

catchick

of course why would politicians vote to hang themselfs?...............:)

BTW.....your purrty...........:)

@Sandra Brooks--they cast Rob Lowe to play him? Why? Drew Peterson is so unattractive and sleazy looking! Why would they cast a good-looking person as him? Much weirder to think anyone would fall for him and be fooled by him as unappealing he is!

Enma3..yes Rob Lowe did play him. They made him look pretty gross! I watched an interview with Rob Lowe about portraying Drew Peterson and he said it made him feel sick to even do it. He had to talk like him and he said it made things awkward going home to his wife after he had played such a sick man.

Birdy: Rob Lowe needs to a film with a sexy male character in it now then. :D The things actors have to do ya know.

As to Peterson... I have no doubt he did it. WHY would any gal be caught with the likes of him?

He will get his in the end while in prison...

Illinois abolished Death Penality due to soooo many exonerations of convicted death row folks.....oh that darn DNA....the police and procecutors are so bad there......remember, he is only being arrested for this murder, because his third wife disappeared...and the original police investigation & autopsy on this wife was so bad, that when they revisited it...without his local police/court house buddies ....they discovered this was a crappy job...if he hadn't made his third wife disappear...this would never have come to light it it was up to the local police and procecutor.

Illinois the home of evil personified. The home (sort of ) the pretender in the Oval Office. The home of that really sad sack of excrement called Dick Durbin. Well, the list could go on forever but the fact is this monster was given preferential treatment and what will the jury have to work with ?

A couple of inexperienced prosecutors, eight or nine year old 'evidence', questionable testimony and a couple of dead folks who may have been able to 'finger' this freak ?

Oooh yeah I see NOT GUILTY coming up soon. Maybe even if they get the 'right' judge the case will be dismissed because an apostrophe was inserted where a period was supposed to be used ?

Huh ?

Yeah !

Josh, this is not a political story. Why did you choose to drag politics into it?

And if someone else dragged politics in on "the other side" then they also need to be called out.

LMAO..accused of murdering third wife...he murdered every wife..and the one living with him will be next..doesn't take a PH.D to figure this guy out...FRY HIS AZZ!

And women think they are smarter!

CAT you ignorant putz... everything is POLITICAL. Too bad you ar enot astute enough to realize that .....

Wow, Josh ... just wow. Where did I call you any names or imply anything about your mental faculties? Really ... maybe you should see someone about the anger you have since it can poison your entire life.

FR moderators ... please look at #2.15.

or produce it out of thin air, depending on whats needed in that particular set of circumstance's.................:)

Pensions and Retirement Funds are marital assets. Especially if the woman spent all or some of her time as a homemaker, she's entitled to a portion of the invested savings. If I divorced my husband, he would have just as much right to my pension/retirement as I do his. Its part of the partnership and why prenups are important if you have investments prior to entering a marriage.

Its part of the partnership and

That's why a lot of folks aren't gettnig married.

I have heard that if a couple has been married 10 years or more, the wife/husband can get a child's share of the wife/husband's pension. I was married to my ex (a scumbag) for almost 24 yrs. Part of that time I had three kids at home under six years of age (so could not work -- would have cost more than I could make for day care). My abusive ex demanded that I sign the separation agreement immediately when he brought it over, and being afraid of the consequences, I signed it and found out later that it had no mention of a pension. Sh-- out of luck!! No pension -- only SS to live on since I got laid off from my job. So much for the pension. All women need to look out for themselves, I guess.

Where did he learn all that law and order?--you must be kidding 2month- 2 years education?

Shoot and kill is what they learn, and a few become detectives if they have college for real--never mind the old days, then when they get old, they sometimes become JP, so we can keep the scam going--USA is lucky people are too busy watching games on TV, instead of real news, which is virtually non existing!!!

Harass and collect (so the towns can afford all of them) is what they do in USA, and they shoot and kill 10 times more people per million compared to most western Countries, this even when they have many Muslims, as you like to use as an excuse, and usually nothing happens to them in USA unless they cross the blue code of silence, or some cop goes after other policeman's wife!--remember Long Island and the Oldsmobile blown up, normally you would get the death penalty for killing a cop, unless you are a cop, we are still acting life the middle age here!.--as you can see with this guy!

Does anyone believe he has not had inside help? It seems likely that any decent physical 'evidence' has been tampered with, lost or degraded in some manner.

When he gets in front of a judge (a Chicago judge ?) it is possible that the case will be dismissed based on the fact that this is 2012 and the 8 or 9 years delay is unconstitutional and he will be released to gloat at the corner tavern and stalk more unlucky females?

Sociopaths are very intelligent and being a police officer just helped. Think of all the training he got and all the "atta boys" from his buds.

He probably picked law enforcement for that reason.

Wife #4 helped cover up the death of wife #3. She gave Peterson a false alibi and now she has conveniently disappeared.

There was a guy convicted of one murder in California in 1980 and sent to death row. Since then, DNA has shed light into 5 other murders associated with the guy. Old crimes have a way of coming back to haunt the perpetrator. Even if Peterson is not convicted of Kathleen's murder, there is a possibility he will be convicted of Stacy's in the future when he leasts expects is.

been there done that......sigh

general population.

Even more shocking is he had or has a girlfriend after wife #4! How dumb and/or needy can that girlfriend be?

Sociopaths are charismatic and can spot a weak person a mile away.

still stuck on that? may i suggest getting help. let me be perfectly clear here....its OVER with ....deal with it.

Will you recant all the hateful statements you have made about Casey when we learn her father who was 'watching' his granddaughter went inside to phone his current whore and get some more booze and left the little girl tragically alone in the pool.

She was not an Olympic swimmer and she drowned. The father is the killer. So in five years or so after he has successfully committed suicide (he made an earlier attempt) and generously left a confession will you recant ?

Hell no you won't. You are what is so wrong with America today.

PS: In case you didn’t notice this page is NOT about Casey!

@Josh Brogan:

Your fictional account isn't about her, either. Your reasoning skills are what is so wrong with you today.

Mach you would not know FICTION if it hit you across the nose. In fact my reasoning skills are so far advanced from you meager writing skills you look like a speck of dust in a Sahara sand storm.

Meaning you cannot tell one from another. Erglots are all alike.

So I ask you the same question: When the father of Casey leaves a confession with his suicide apology will you then apologize to all of the people you have insulted especially Casey ?

Naaah you are one of the many things wrong with this Nation.

and carried a badge

The worst kind!

hahahahahaha...great one steve, probably be collapsed or maybe even banned by those who have no sense of humor.

Typical wingnut thinking and humor.

Most likely would have killed himself instead.

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." Sir Winston Churchill

There's a fine line between truth and justice!!!!!

Sadly, if she is found; she won't be alive!!!!

No, no, no there is not a 'justice' system in this nation. There is in place of a justice system a LEGAL system. If one has the money and connections one can get through the legalities and emerge a 'purer' person.

But if you are a 'little' guy, no pull, no sway then you will be handcuffed, frog marched to jail and made to wear stripes or pink outfits for court appearances. The stripes and the pink outfits will clearly influence the jury. After all would an innocent wear stripes or pink? naaah ! Only the guilty.

Ever see the arrest mug shot of a killer ? Then see his / her face in court at trial ? A huge before and after has occurred.

This cretin will be out on bail and freed by a liberal, bleeding heart judge who wants the fragile rules we try to live with fail and then his socialist dream will come true.

Wait ! Watch ! remember!

Ugh, I know! I can't even stand to look at that guy. And when he speaks??? Ugh, he should be convicted on being an a-hole alone.
