Judge Edward Burmila Rejected all of the Motions for a New Trial and Sentenced Drew Peterson 38 years in Prison for Killing His Third Wife Kathleen Savio

BYE, BYE BIRDY DREW PETERSON …

Will County Judge Edward Burmila denied all of the motions for a new trial and sentenced Drew Peterson to 38 years in prison for the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio. Let me just add, it could not have happened to a more deserving individual. Who’s laughing now Drew? Following Peterson’s sentencing, he shouted that he did not kill his wife. An individual in the courtroom yelled in reply, “Yes you did!” FINALLY … THERE IS JUSTICE FOR KATHLEEN SAVIO.

Former Illinois cop Drew Peterson yelled, “I did not kill Kathleen!” during the sentencing phase of his trial today — and then a judge sentenced him to 38 years in jail for killing her.

The sentence came after Will County Judge Edward Burmila denied Peterson a re-trial in the killing of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004.

Peterson had faced as many as 60 years in prison.

At his sentencing, after Peterson shouted that he did not kill his wife, someone in the courtroom yelled in reply, “Yes you did!” according to ABC News Chicago station WLS. Burmila then ordered that person to leave the courtroom.

Peterson went on to claim that police “altered evidence” in his case and “intimidated witnesses and scared my children.”

The long and bizarre, sad tale has finally come to an end. Well at least for one of Drew Peterson’s dead wives. In 2004, Peterson’s third wife, Savio, was found dead in her bathtub. Her death that was initially ruled an accidental drowning, but when his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in 2007, Savio’s body was exhumed and her death ruled a homicide. For Drew Peterson who was laughing and making mock of his arrest and taking nothing serious, I would dare say he is not laughing now.

11 Years Later … September 11, 2001, Do Not Ever Forget What Happened that Fateful Day … Always Remember the Heroes

AMERICA, AS MANY TRY TO DIVIDE US, DO NOT EVER FORGET WHAT UNITES US AND MAKES THE UNITED STATES THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

In  Memory of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and the heroes that inspired a nation. It has been 11 years to the day of that fateful September morning in 2001 where in an instant our lives and world changed forever. More than 3000 people lost their lives in NYC at the World Trade Center, in Washington, DC as flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon and in a field in Shanksville, PA where heroes aboard Flight 93 took matters into their hands and said “NO to terrorism”.  We saw pure evil and we saw the best of people. The heroism of those who responded to the terrible terrorist and cowardice acts will never be forgotten as well. Fireman, police, paramedics and first responders running into buildings to help their fellow man, perishing in their efforts.

Remember in your head the evil  that caused this day; however, always remember in your heart the heroes that rose up to show what makes America, America.  God Bless the men, women, victims and heroes who were lost on 9/11. God Bless the families that had their lives forever altered on that terrible day. As the years go by, we continue and will always we celebrate those who died far too soon. Too many children grew up without dads and moms.  So many brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and grand parents lost.

As George W. Bush stated, “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot shake the foundation of America.  These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.” Today our Nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, And we responded with the best of America.”

To the the many Americans who lost loved ones, knew someone who was affected by the terrorist attacks and those who simply just rose up to support in prayers those who died that day, please do not ever forget. I will ask all … Do you Remember?

GOD BLESS YOU ALL. We remember Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham, Jeremy Glick, Sandra Bradshaw, Tom Burnett and all the heroes aboard Flight 93. Average Americans who rose up against terrorism, LETS ROLL!!!

Initial Bulletins as it transpired that September Day

Tribute to 9-11

GOD BLESS AMERICA – LEE GREENWOOD

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

God bless the victims of 9-11, their families and loved ones. God bless the heroes who gave their lives for others. You shall never be forgot. You represent the best of America.

Drew Peterson Found Guilty of Murder in the Death of Kathleen Savio

The verdict is in for the Drew Peterson murder trial … GUILTY!!!

Finally there is Justice fair Kathleen Savio. Drew Peterson, the 58 year old former Bolling Brook police officer has been found guilty of murder by a jury of his peers. Peterson now faces up to 60 years in prison. Following the verdict Savio’s brother-in-law, Mitch Dorman stated, “Finally, finally, finally. … We finally got that murdering bastard.” I bet Peterson is not laughing this evening.

Drew Peterson, the former Illinois police officer who gained notoriety after his much-younger wife vanished in 2007, was convicted Thursday of murdering a previous wife in a case centered on secondhand hearsay statements from both women.

Peterson, 58, sat stoically looking straight ahead and did not react as the judge announced jurors had found him guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Her relatives gasped, then hugged each other as they cried quietly.

Illinois has no death penalty, and Peterson now faces a maximum 60-year prison term when sentenced Nov. 26.

Drew Peterson’s sore loser defense attorney says, “thank you for hating us”. You’re welcome.
