Fox is just reporting from the courthouse that no testimony will be allowed from Savio about her fears. Only what she said that she attributed directly to what Drew said will be allowed.

Courtroom updates: Peterson Trial
By Andy Grimm, Steve Schmadeke and Matthew Walberg
Tribune reporters
11:20 a.m. CDT, July 31, 2012

Opening statements have begun in the trial of Drew Peterson, more than eight years after the unusual death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and three years after being charged with her murder. Check here for continual updates throughout the day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11:20 a.m. Savio 'would get angry and stay angry'
It was Kathleen Savio's anger and erratic behavior that led to the breakup of her marriage to Peterson, attorney Joel Brodsky told jurors in his opening statement.

The marriage began peacefully, and the two started a printing business that they eventually sold, allowing them to pay off the mortgage on their home.

While they were enjoying financial success with the business and Peterson's promotion to sergeant in the Bolingbrook Police Department, by the late 1990s Savio's controlling behavior and anger caused them to lead separate lives, Brodsky said.

"Kathy was very bossy at the business. She would hire and fire people without reason. She insisted on being president of the organization, and she would get angry and stay angry for days," he said.
 
The pair sought counseling and Savio began taking anti-depressants, "but nothing worked."

The acrimony only intensified when Savio learned her husband was dating Stacy Cales, who he would later marry.

After she learned Peterson took Cales to Mexico in January 2001, she sought an order of protection, alleging abuse.

"She files (the petition) with lies, stupid, ridiculous statements," Brodsky said.

By late March 2003, both filed for divorce, Peterson moved out of the home and Savio dropped the order of protection. Brodsky said the fact that she never sought another suggests she was lying about her ex-husband's threats and attacks.

"Never again do you hear of Kathy getting an order of protection," Brodsky said. "She knew how to get one - but all this stuff about (Peterson's) threats, breaking into her house, Kathy never got another order of protection. You have to ask yourself why."

-- Matthew Walberg
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 a.m. Lively start to trial

Barely an hour into the trial, and there have been a defense motion for a mistrial, five objections from prosecutors and at least three private conferences between the judge and attorneys in the case.

Jurors have already been sent out twice as the two sides argued objections.

Drew Peterson lawyer tells jury to ignore hype: ‘Legend becomes fact’
July 31, 2012 6:08AM
Updated: July 31, 2012 12:18PM

 ::snipping2::
“Kathleen Savio’s cold lifeless body was found in her bathtub ... and it was staged to look like an accident,” said Glasgow, who is personally leading the prosecution.
 ::snipping2::
The case almost came to a grinding halt mere minutes into Glasgow’s opening statements, though, when he began to tell jurors about an offer of $25,000 between Peterson and a “friend.” Defense attorneys objected and asked for a mistrial.

Burmila upheld their objection but did not declare a mistrial, though he said Glasgow cannot discuss an alleged plan by Peterson to enlist a coworker in his effort to kill Savio.
 
Earlier, Burmila helped prosecutors by denying two last-minute motions by Peterson’s defense team seeking to keep Glasgow from mentioning during his openings some hearsay evidence that might or might not make it into the trial, and to keep them from suggesting Peterson stood to gain financially from having Savio dead.
 
Glasgow took advantage of that ruling almost immediately, telling jurors money was Peterson’s motive for killing his ex-wife.
 
“She was not going to give up her share of the marital estate,” he said.
 
He wrapped up his opening statement by telling jurors he’d prove Peterson guilty.
 
“You will be able to determine that Drew Peterson murdered Kathleen Savio,” he said.
 
After a short recess, defense attorney Joel Brodsky kicked off his opening statements, introducing Peterson as a man who wanted to be a cop, “wanted a job where he could help people.”
 
But as he sought to tell more of Peterson’s life story, prosecutors objected and Burmila called Brodsky’s openings “completely inappropriate” and said he was “perverting the purpose of the opening statement.”
 
After he resumed, Brodsky called Savio a “very spirited, hot-tempered woman” who was “livid” when she got anonymous letter about Peterson’s affair with Stacy Cales — who would go on to become his fourth wife.
 
He said she filed for an order of protection against Peterson, in a petition filled with “stupid, ridiculous statements that have no basis.”
 
On the weekend she died, Savio had a “lovers’ quarrel” with her boyfriend, Brodsky said.
 
A grand jury indicted Peterson in May 2009 on two counts of first-degree murder, accusing him of drowning Savio on or about Feb. 29, 2004. Her body was discovered the next day in a dry bathtub in her Bolingbrook home.

After entering Savio’s home with neighbors and a locksmith and then finding her body, Peterson’s first words were, “What am I going to tell my kids?” Brodsky said.
 
He said some injuries found on her body — scrapes and carpet burns — were caused by having sex with her boyfriend before her death.
 
He said no one disputes Savio died of drowning, and the bathroom “was in perfect order.”

Stacy Peterson mentioned at Drew Peterson trial
Published: Tuesday, Jul. 31, 2012 - 9:05 am

JOLIET, Ill. -- Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow brought up Drew Peterson's missing fourth wife Stacy Peterson at the former suburban Chicago police officer's murder trial in the death of his third wife.

Glasgow didn't say during opening statements Tuesday that Peterson was a suspect in Stacy Peterson's 2007 disappearance. But he made it clear that her disappearance was the key to opening an investigation into the 2004 death of Kathleen Savio.  ::snipping2::

From the first day, July 31

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-drew-peterson-openings-0801-20120801,0,2551253.story

Rocky start for prosecutors in Drew Peterson trial
10:08 p.m. CDT, July 31, 2012

Kathleen Savio's stepmother sobbed quietly in the courtroom gallery when prosecutors showed pictures for jurors of Savio's curled body in her bathtub, blood trickling from her head toward the drain.

It was one of the most dramatic moments on the contentious first day of the murder trial of former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, who was painted in opening statements Tuesday as an abusive killer by prosecutors and the victim of rumor and hearsay by the defense.

It was a tension-filled beginning for the long-awaited trial, and a rocky start for prosecutors, who lost battles to include what they said were essential parts of their first day's evidence and narrowly avoided a potential mistrial. Both sides objected at length during opening statements. A defense attorney was admonished by the trial judge for essentially testifying about his view of Peterson's personal history.

Drew Peterson murder trial Day 1
July 31, 2012 7:22PM
Updated: August 1, 2012 2:16AM

◆ Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow tried to suggest in opening statements Drew Peterson offered a co-worker $25,000 to help him kill Kathleen Savio. Defense lawyers objected before Glasgow could finish, and Judge Edward Burmila sided with Peterson. Defense lawyers later call the move a “tremendous blunder” by prosecutors. The judge denied an early mistrial motion by the defense, though, warning he can change his mind later.
 ::snipping2::

COMING WEDNESDAY: Day 2 of the trial starts at 9 a.m. Possible prosecution witnesses include Tom Pontarelli — Savio’s neighbor and husband to Mary Pontarelli — and locksmiths Chris Wolzen and Robert Akin, who Peterson called in to help him get inside Savio’s house the night she was found.

Live Blog: Peterson Attorneys Ask for Mistrial
Judge Burmila has three options when considering the defense's motion for mistrial: He can rule a mistrial with prejudice, which is what the defense is asking for, rule a mistrial without prejudice or tell the jury to disregard part of Thomas Pontarelli's testimony. A mistrial with prejudice means the defendant cannot be retried.

Brodsky said today that the only reason Savio's body was exhumed was the media's involvement in the case once Stacy disappeared. She has never been found.

Live Blog: Peterson Judge Suggests Alternative to Mistrial
Wednesday, Aug 1, 2012  |  Updated 1:49 PM CDT
The judge in the Drew Peterson murder trial has offered a compromise to a defense motion for a mistrial in the case with prejudice.

Judge Edward Burmila Wednesday suggested striking offending testimony from Thomas Pontarelli instead of granting the motion. A mistrial with prejudice means Peterson could not be retried in the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, found dead in a bathtub in 2004. ::snipping2::

 JOLIET, Ill. Aug. 1, 2012

Drew Peterson's murder trial resumed today after the judge considered and then denied a defense request to declare a mistrial.

Judge Edward Burmilia called a recess this morning after the prosecution, in questioning Peterson's former neighbor, introduced controversial evidence. Peterson, 58, is accused of killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004.
