finally this arrogant prick goes to trial. more of story and more photos at link.
Drew Peterson, 57, has been imprisoned for the past three years awaiting trial for the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio
Chief suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson
Claimed he picked 'women who changed after getting married'
When asked what he would do if Stacy reappeared he replied: 'Ask her to sign the divorce papers'
Jury selection begins Monday in high-profile case
Five years after he became an object of national scorn, former policeman Drew Peterson is about to go on trial on charges that he murdered Kathleen Savio in 2004.
He has been imprisoned for the past three years awaiting trial for her death, and is the chief suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy, who has never been found.
The case, which begins Monday with jury selection, is sure to rekindle memories of the media frenzy that engulfed Peterson before his arrest, when he often joked with an army of news crews camped outside his house and even invited Geraldo Rivera into his kitchen.
Reporters from around the country and maybe from as far away as Japan will descend on a courthouse in Joliet to watch the latest chapter of a story that has already spawned a couple of books and a cable TV movie starring Rob Lowe as Peterson.
The frenetic coverage 'absolutely has the possibility of reigniting,' said Mark Geragos, a prominent California defence attorney who has been at the centre of comparable firestorms, including when he represented Scott Peterson (no relation), a California man convicted of murdering his young wife and unborn child.
Prosecutors expect to tell a relatively simple story: Drew Peterson killed his ex-wife to keep her from making off with much of his money in a contentious divorce. Sometime around February 29, 2004, according to the indictment, Peterson went to Savio's house and in the bathroom caused her 'to inhale fluid,' killing her.
