Jurer says the hearsay evidence supplied by Stacy's words convicted Drew Peterson. James Glasgo, prosecutor, said of Peterson he "is a coward and a bully." He also will review Stacy's case and will bring charges. Glasgo continued "he was a thug." "He could threaten people because he had a gun and a badge and nobody ever took him on. Well. we took him on now and he lost."
Prosecutors believed, but were not able to bring to the jury that Peterson used a police choke hold, drowned her, and hit her on the back of her head and tried to make her death look accidental.
Savio's family cried out at the reading of the verdict. Her sister Anna Doman said "I feel like I am dreaming." we were relieved that after all these years, we finally did it. "We got Drew." Savio passed away in 2004.
Stacy was the reason the prosecutors decided to go after Savio's case. When she disappeared it opened the door for Savio. But for Stacy, her family and friends are left with no closure, an open wound that never heals. For them there is no end to the story. My friend, who was a friend of Stacy's said today to pray for Drew and the children.
But Stacy's hearsay evidence brought a conviction and justice for Kathleen Savio and the family. One wife of Drew's called out to the other. Maybe someone will call out for Stacy and help the healing. Our best to the Savio family.
