2:55 p.m. ' It was beautiful'

Outside the courtroom, Kathleen Savio's family and supporters hugged and cried along with witnesses who testified for the state.

"I knew it," said Savio's brother-in-law Mitch Doman. "Now I can go out there and say he's a murdering bastard. You can print that. You can put it in a headline.

"It was like a big burden lifted off our shoulders. We knew he did it, but we couldn't do nothing about it," he told a Tribune reporter.

Mary Parks, the Joliet Junior College classmate of Savio who testified at trial, came out of the courtroom beaming. "I just knew," she said. "I didn't doubt it. I just knew it would be this way. It was beautiful."

2:52 p.m. Savio's family hugs after verdict

A crowd of about 75 people awaiting the news outside the courthouse started buzzing as word spread about a guilty verdict.

Someone shouted, "Guilty!" and cheers erupted.

4 p.m. 'Great deal of solemnity'

Here's the complete statement from jurors after reaching a guilty verdict:

“We have taken the responsibility bestowed on us by the court with a great deal of solemnity and diligence. After much deliberation, we have reached a decision we believe is just.”

3:55 p.m. Defense team booed

Drew Peterson's attorneys were booed as they approached microphones to speak with reporters.

"Thank you," said attorney Joseph Lopez.

Another Peterson attorney, Joel Brodsky, said "a conviction is the first step in a successful appeal."

Yay! Finally, this evil bastard will be behind bars.

IT'S ABOUT TIME WE HAVE A JURY WITH SOME DAMN SENSE. Thank Goodness. FRY MOTHERFUCKER

[Lady Cop]

i believe the door is open now for him to be indicted on Stacy's disappearance.

[sharit]

So glad! That man is ugly and stupid to think he would get away with murder again. Had he not killed Stacey he would have gotten away with her murder. Guess it is safe to say that the big shot attorneys are not big shots today, just, shot.

DATELINE friday night

It was a case long on notoriety, short on evidence. In fact, to put Drew Peterson on trial for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, prosecutors had to get a new law passed to introduce hearsay. They said it would allow Savio, and Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy -- missing and presumed dead -- to "speak from their graves." From the stunning verdict, it seems jurors were listening.
Hoda Kotb goes inside the case, with exclusive details from a key witness tonight at 10pm/9c on Dateline NBC.

Now, Who's untouchable bitch!? Kudos to the jurors.

[Lady Cop]

one juror almost hung the thing up. thankfully reason prevailed.

this is just a GUESS, but normally after a serious verdict like that a convict will be put on suicide watch as a matter of routine. he was already segregated.

i doubt he's sneering and grinning now.


slip out the back jack------>

[cladking]

If an innocent man was ever convicted I'm pleased as hell it was Peterson.

I suppose he was never innocent.
