Link to follow. I always knew this douchebag was guilty. There's a reason they call it the pokey, Drew...especially for former police officers.

How is this breaking news?

OH!!! You mean they made it official! Yeah, good for them.

That guy is some piece of work.

Here's hoping he gets his shit packed every fucking day by some dude with a dick the size of a baseball bat. Either that or just a good old fashioned shivving.

He's definitely a piece of work but I'm surprised they had enough evidence to convict. A lot of hearsay and near-mistrials. It will be interesting to see if this one holds up.

The guy's a POS and I am pretty sure he's guilty, but guilty verdicts without a body are very difficult to hold up absent a confession. Will be interesting to see how this goes on appeal.

They have a body for this one, he was convicted in the death of his 3rd wife who was found dead in a dry bath tub. It was originally ruled an accidental drowning but they reopened it when his 4th wife went missing. He is a POS and I'm pretty sure he's guilty too but it is a little scary what they were able to convict him with.

So he was convicted for the death of the 3rd wife? I thought it was the most recent one. If it was the most recent one that would really concern me.

It was the third one so they had a body that had been buried for years. Definitely suspicious circumstance but I'm not sure there was enough there to call it beyond a reasonable doubt. Peterson is a sneaky POS who knew how to cover his tracks so the Illinois legislature passed a law allowing some hearsay evidence and the prosecution used it to their advantage. It's a little scary that someone can say so-and-so told me this before they died and the defense has no opportunity to cross-exam.

No. His best was the sex tape with the 14-year old girl.
