Peterson unbowed in face of murder charge
Drew Peterson was all quips and cool as he entered an Illinois courtroom today to face arraignment on charges he killed his third wife, the Chicago Breaking News Center reports.
"Look at this bling. Look at this nice spiffy outfit," the website quotes Peterson saying as he arrived in Will County court, bedecked in a red jumpsuit. "Three squares a day."
Peterson lawyer Joel Brodsky was equally unmoved by Peterson's arrest Thursday, telling WGN-TV in Chicago that the case is weak. He even attacked the claim that Kathleen Savio was murdered, as determined by a second autopsy after she was found drowned in an empty bathtub five years ago.
Brodsky said official Will County coroner's records still list the cause of Savio's death as accidental.
Peterson, 55, is also a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy. He has denied wrongdoing in both cases.
