Kathleen Savio -- Found Deceased 3/1/04

Thanks Snaz...You're the greatest!!!

You're welcome, Estee..... I think you and I are the only two who are interested much in this case.....

I'm interested too, but I don't have much to add about this case. I hope all of the hearsay testimony is allowed into the trial. It's pretty obvious that Drew killed Kathleen and Stacy.

J4A, I'm hoping the judge will allow most of the hearsay testimony, too. I have never thought it was quite right when a person TELLS someone of their fears/experiences or WRITES their fears/experiences in a letter, and it isn't allowed in because it is considered hearsay. Obviously it has to be considered carefully to make sure others aren't just lying, but how else is a person supposed to tell their story when they have been murdered? It is their only way to testify...... I find when a person 'speaks from the grave" to be very valuable testimony....

I actually think this judge WILL allow at least some of the hearsay testimony in. After all, it is law in Illinois now that hearsay can be brought into trial.

JMO, of course.

Oh, Im really interested too... thanks for the updates...
I may be guilty of beling a little "dependant" lol...

I cant see how the judge will not excercise the brand new law, that allows hearsay...

It was written, just for this case!!!

AJ, I am happy to provide the updates.... I just was not sure anyone (other than Estee and me) was interested.

I think this could be a real precedent setting case....

I agree Snaz. I feel that if numerous people come forward after a person has died, and they have written notes from the deceased, of course it should be permitted in court. You can't just turn your head and look away. Thanks for all of the updates, Snaz!

Kathleen Savio was a kind, fun-loving person

Letter to the Editor

Last summer I saw someone interview Drew Peterson on television. During the interview, Peterson stated that Kathy Savio was a “hellcat.” I once dated Kathy Savio. We went to the same high school in Hillside. I do not ever remember her being a “hellcat.” She was a beautiful, fun-loving person. She enjoyed being around people. She was energetic, kind and loved attention. Everyone liked being around her. Maybe she turned into a “hellcat” because she found herself running for her very life. How many times did she contact the Bolingbrook Police Department screaming for help? Was it at least 14 times? Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Kathy received no help. Again, correct me if I’m wrong. Peterson, in shackles, looked as if it was funny when he was being escorted to jail. Everyone who was watching saw that dopey look on his face as he boasted about having three square meals a day. What person in his right mind would have a stupid-looking grin on his face when going to jail, arrested on suspicion of murder? I can’t find anyone who believes any words he has spoken. Personally, I think he is a gutless coward. Come Judgment Day, the Lord Jesus will avenge Kathleen’s death. Whoever murdered her, whoever the spineless jellyfish is will be punished for all eternity. And then there’s Peterson, who constantly feeds on negative attention with the media. Hang it up, dude, nobody believes you.

I think this letter pretty much said what a lot of us are thinking. You can count me in as somebody who doesn't believe a word that Drew is saying.
