We know that Drew Peterson has a receptive soundboard for his thoughts from jail in Sun-times columnist Michael Sneed, who's published his letters from jail before (after they've been edited by Sneed's "confidential source").

While Drew Peterson is doing whatever in Will County Jail — probably writing another letter for Michael Sneed to run as a column — Oak Brook police chief Thomas Sheahan has filed charges with the village police and fire commission to have Peterson's son, Stephen Peterson, removed from the force. more ›

Well, Drew Peterson will have one less thing to worry about while awaiting trial for the murder of his third wife. A judge has tossed out the gun charge prosecutors filed against Peterson some time ago, saying, via the Tribune, "Peterson's semiautomatic rifle wasn't protected under a federal law that gives police officers general immunity to own weapons that are illegal under state law." The decision could also help Peterson's son Stephen, an Oak Brook police officer who took in two or three of his father's guns shortly after the disappearance of Drew's fourth wife Stacy. Stephen was suspended after admitting he took in the guns but his attorney said today's decision proves that Stephen did nothing wrong. Charles Hervas, attorney for the Oak Brook police chief, said of Stephen's case, "The internal review continues." more ›

Okay, this is ridiculous. We felt kind of gray and fuzzy on it the first time around, but now? Once again, "columnist" Michael Sneed has given up an entire column over to republishing a letter from Drew Peterson, currently awaiting his trial for the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio and still the prime suspect in the disappearance of wife number four Stacy Peterson. In this letter, Drew makes an "an impassioned media plea on behalf of his children," specifically prosecution (and what Drew alleges is persecution) against oldest son Stephen who is currently the primary caregiver for four of Peterson's kids: two with Savio and two with Stacy. Like the first letter, this one was handed directly from Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky to Sneed and reprinted (the lead-in says it's been "edited" though there's no word if the paper edited the letter or if, like the first one, it was edited by someone else in the Peterson camp before getting to the Sun-Times). more ›

While he awaits his trial for the murder of third wife Kathleen Savio and the search for missing fourth wife Stacy continues, Drew Peterson has found himself with a lot of time on his hands.

The Sun-Times ran their first "installment" of the letters yesterday and the second installment today; the letters were received and edited thusly: more ›

Over the weekend, a "jailhouse tip" led authorities to search a farm near Peoria for the remains of Stacy Peterson. So far, the search has resulted in, well, nothing, but it looks like the investigation will resume after taking a break on Sunday. The search could start up again as soon as Tuesday, according to sources. Authorities have already searched a 10-foot-by-10-foot area of land based on the tip. There have also been some disputing of where exactly the tip came from. more ›

Calling it a search based on "a jailhouse tip," authorities conducted a search for the remains of Stacy Peterson near a farm in Peoria yesterday afternoon. But after a full day of searching, the investigation has, so far, come up empty-handed. David Alwan, on who's property the search was conducted, told the Tribune, "They had pretty solid leads with specific coordinates." Authorities do not consider Alwan connected to the case. Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Tom Burek told the press, "I don't want to stand here and tell you this is the magical lead that's going to solve the case. ... Like any lead we hope that it has a positive outcome. ... I don't want to allude to (the idea that) we're looking for a body. We're looking for evidence of a crime based on this lead that we have." more ›

If you're in the market for a used motorcycle connected to an infamous ex-husband, Justice Cafe points us to the Harley-Davidson motorcycle currently owned by one Drew Peterson. Yes, that Drew Peterson. The 2007 Screamin' Eagle Softail Springer has been listed on eBay for a starting price of $50,000 which is a steep inflation over the MSRP which happens to be around $25K. Peterson's attorney Joel Brodsky, who's also selling a motorcycle on eBay, insists that it's not only to help cover legal fees, telling Fox Chicago, "First of all, the bike's been sitting there for over a year now...When he gets out he can always buy another one. They're not going to stop selling Harleys." The auction is scheduled to end this Saturday, May 13. Meanwhile, Peterson remains jailed, awaiting his trial for the murder of third wife Kathleen Savio, slated to begin next month. more ›

Blago ain't the only one with a trial coming up this summer. Drew Peterson's murder trial is also quickly approaching and he's had a few legal stumbles of his own, losing a pair of attorneys. But now he's trying to even things out as his defense team has two new attorneys. Attorneys Steven A. Greenberg and Ralph E. Meczyk have filed to join Team D-Pete and if they sound familiar, it's because Greenberg represented Brian Dugan and both were involved in the Family Secrets Trial. The trial is scheduled to start June 14. more ›
