Authorities: New attorney for Drew Peterson seeks to overturn conviction
October 09, 2012

 ::snipping2::
In the documents, Carroll accuses lead defense attorney Joel Brodsky of lying about his courtroom experience, forcing Peterson to engage in pretrial publicity and ignoring his request for a speedy trial. He also claims that Brodsky threatened to share unspecified information about Peterson if he fired him.

"Attorney Brodsky had lied to Mr. Peterson on a number of occasions, and when Mr. Peterson discovered the lies and talked about possibly discharging attorney Brodsky and retaining other counsel, attorney Brodsky indicated that in the event he was discharged, he would be ethically bound to publicly reveal some things that were discussed between him and Mr. Peterson," the motion states.

The move seemed to stun Brodsky, who denied the allegations and insisted Peterson did not hire Carroll to handle post-trial motions. Brodsky, who said he spoke with Peterson by phone Tuesday, contends that Carroll was retained solely to represent Peterson as he tries to preserve his police pension following his conviction.

"I can state unequivocally that John Paul Carroll was not authorized to file any motions," Brodsky said. "Drew is absolutely boggled as to how he could do something like this."

Court records show that Will County Judge Edward Burmila, who oversaw the trial, granted Carroll permission to meet with Peterson at the Will County Jail last month.

A spokesman for State's Attorney James Glasgow declined to comment, saying prosecutors had not yet seen the motion.

New Lawyer Horning in on Peterson Case

OUTSIDE CHICAGO -- A local lawyer filed court papers blaming Drew Peterson's lead attorney Joel Brodsky for blowing the Drew Peterson case.

John Paul Carroll's motion for a new trial also accuses Brodsky of lying to Peterson and pushing the convicted wife-killer into the public eye to make money.

"Attorney Brodsky assured Mr. Peterson that they would both make money from the publicity attorney Brodsky had generated about the case and that they were in this business venture together," Carroll, of Naperville, wrote in his motion for a new trial "based on the ineffective assistance of attorney Joel Brodsky."

"This was the prime motivation of attorney Brodsky, rather than being motivated to provide the best legal defense for his client," the motion says.

Drew Peterson's Mother Dies
10:48 pm (October 10, 2012)

Drew Peterson's mother died a month and two days after her son was convicted of murder.

Betty Morphey, 84, never attended a single day of her son's five-week murder trial. She also never visited Peterson in the three and a half years he has been locked up in the Will County jail.

Morphey suffered from severe dementia, according to a source close to the family.

Morphey was married to Peterson's father, Donald Peterson, for 38 years. When her husband died she married Albert Morphey, Donald Peterson's boss at Northern Illinois Gas Company.

One of Albert Morphey's sons, Thomas Morphey, has said he helped Peterson carry a blue barrel containing the dead body of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, out of his house.

Thomas Morphey also said he and his family always suspected Peterson killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in March 2004.

And so the drama continues... 

Of course DP is going to blame JB.  JB should have stuffed a sock down DP's throat while he was doing all the schmoozing with the press.  DP is going to blame any and all for his actions, typical of most wife abusers.

Drew Peterson Feels Like Traitor For Dumping Joel Brodsky, Says New Lawyer
October 11, 2012

Naperville attorney John Paul Carroll said he sat face-to-face with convicted wife-killer Drew Peterson in jail and tried to soothe the guilt he feels for dumping his old lawyer, Joel Brodsky.

Carroll said Peterson told him, "I feel a little bad. I feel kind of like a traitor to Mr. Brodsky because he represented me for five years."

Peterson also admitted he was "kind of concerned about (Brodsky's) future as an attorney," Carroll said.

"I said, 'Don't be concerned,'" Carroll recalled.

"I want to get you out of jail," he said he told Peterson. "That's all I want to do. Get you out of jail. If that's not all right with you, let me know now."

It looks like Peterson is going to have to let Carroll know one way or another during a Friday morning hearing to determine who is actually his lawyer and who is not.

JOLIET — The defense team for Drew Peterson remained intact after a hearing Friday morning in Will County Circuit Court.

However, Peterson was granted more time by Judge Edward Burmila to consider claims made this week in a motion filed by two outside attorneys.
 
Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, was convicted in the slaying of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
 
Burmila had the task of sorting out what has become a confusing mash of motions and accusations, as two lawyers each claim Peterson wants him, but not the other guy.

After Friday’s hearing, Greenberg also remained on the defense team.

Drew Peterson Keeps Legal Team, Denies Asking New Lawyers To File Appeal
October 12, 2012 2:32 PM
Updated 10/12/12 – 4:23 p.m.
 
JOLIET, Ill. (CBS) – The Will County judge who presided over Drew Peterson’s murder trial had to sort through some legal drama on Friday, about what attorneys would represent the former Bolingbrook police officer going forward.
 
WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports it appeared Peterson was going to fire lead defense attorney Joel Brodsky, but after some backroom maneuvering, Peterson instead decided to keep together the legal team from the trial that resulted in his conviction for the 2004 murder his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
 
Brodsky denied his head was ever on the chopping block.

“There is not a chance in the world I was going to be out of this case,” he insisted.
 
But his body language told a different story, as he looked like a kid who had lost his puppy.
 ::snipping2::
Burmila will hear Brodsky’s motion for a new trial on Dec. 19. Peterson’s sentencing, originally set for Nov. 26, was pushed back to Jan. 10, 2013.

So, did he get a new atty or not?  I swear Drew is worse than a middle school girl with all the drama.

Lawyer: Drew Peterson Putting Brodsky's Rep Above Own Interests

An attorney trying to take over Drew Peterson's defense said the convicted wife-killer is more concerned with his current lawyer's image than his own well-being.

Drew Peterson is letting attorney Joel Brodsky stay on his case but may still claim the lawyer did such a bad job defending him against murder charges that he needs a new trial.

Peterson asked Judge Edward Burmila during a Friday morning hearing for more time to decide whether he will proceed on a request for a new trial based on Brodsky's ineffective counsel.

Peterson's hesitation sprang from a reluctance to tarnish Brodsky's image, said Michelle Gonzalez, an attorney who on Friday tried to file both an appearance on the case and the request for a new trial.

"He was concerned about Mr. Brodsky's reputation if this motion goes forward," Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez and Brodsky, along with attorneys Steve Greenberg, Joseph "Shark" Lopez and Lisa Lopez, all met privately with Peterson in a back room, either alone or in groups, throughout Friday morning.

Gonzalez said Peterson told her he wanted her and co-counsel John Paul Carroll to take his case, but Peterson backed out when he got in front of the judge. 

"I believe he was influenced by Mr. Brodsky," Gonzalez said. ::snipping2::

At least for the time being, it looks like Brodsky is still part of the defense "team."  Considering that I don't believe that DP has an altruistic bone in his body, I wonder if the rumors that JB has "something" on DP aren't true.  I am going to have to work on that fly on the wall formula again!

OUTSIDE CHICAGO -- Former federal prisoner Jonathan Lee Riches has sued Bill Belichick, George W. Bush, Steve Jobs and Perez Hilton, and now he's filed a motion in the Drew Peterson case claiming he was the convicted wife-killer's lover.

"Drew Peterson and I were in a sexual relationship in the 1990's and Drew forced me to commit identity theft to finance his sexual lifestyle," Riches wrote to the court in a "motion for the right to be heard under the victims rights act."

Riches claims he used a stolen credit card to "buy Drew Peterson a sex outfit from adam & eve of officer friendly and Drew forced me to wear it for him while we watched the 1980's police academy series and Drew used to call me hightower and Drew and I went to dance against my will in will county at the blue oyster bar and we did karaoke with tom cruise before he was a top gun pilot and Drew used to chase me in my neighborhood as the dukes of hazzard and boss hog was sold to muslims under drews direct orders."

According to his letter to the court and his Facebook page, Riches now lives in West Chester, Penn.

The Guinness Book of World Records planned to honor Riches as the World's Most Litigious Man in 2009, according to an ABC News story. Riches responded by suing.
