Trial Date Set For Bolingbrook Man in Attempted Kidnapping Case
Bolingbrook resident George Smith is looking at a June trial.
A Bolingbrook man charged with trying to lure an 11-year-old girl into his truck learned Wednesday that his trial was set to start in June. George Smith, 66, has been free on bond since May. He was arrested in February 2012 after allegedly trying to entice a young girl into his vehicle.

According to court papers, Smith served four years active duty with the Marines and suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Smith was under the care of a doctor at a Veterans Affairs hospital and was also taking medication for post-traumatic stress syndrome, the April filing said.

Drew Peterson Judgment Day? Judge Will Make Call Thursday on New Trial
Drew Peterson will find out Thursday if he's heading to prison or getting a new murder trial.
The lawyers for convicted wife-killer Drew Peterson argued for two days that he was deprived of a fair trial by an attorney more worried about becoming a media darling than representing his client. Now the arguing is over, and on Thursday Will County Judge Edward Burmila will decide if Peterson gets a do-over on his murder trial or will instead punch a one-way ticket to prison. Peterson attorney Steve Greenberg finished the two day hearing with an emotional argument blaming former co-counsel Joel Brodsky for single-handedly losing Peterson's murder trial. Greenberg said Brodsky disregarded advice from other attorneys on the defense team and insisted on calling the lawyer who represented Peterson's slain third wife, Kathleen Savio, during …

Drew Peterson Attorney Called to Witness Stand, Reveals Money Deals
Drew Peterson's former attorney was called to the witness stand but wasn't asked anything about the murder trial he was blamed for losing.
Drew Peterson's longest serving attorney tried to argue his way out of testifying at a hearing to determine whether the convicted wife-killer needs a new murder trial, but couldn't dodge his trip to the witness stand. But even after attorney Joel Brodsky failed to convince Judge Edward Burmila he didn't have to testify, he wasn't asked too many uncomfortable questions about the trial he has been blamed for blowing. Instead, Peterson lawyer Steve Greenberg stuck to questions about Brodsky's financial dealings with Peterson. He also asked about a contract Brodsky and Peterson entered into with Florida publicist Glenn Selig. The ABC network paid Peterson and Brodsky $10,000 for "licensing rights" to Peterson's photographs and videos, …

Last Chance For Drew Peterson to Dodge Prison Sentence For Wife Murder
If Drew Peterson doesn't win his hearing for a new murder trial this week, the judge is packing him off to prison.
Drew Peterson has one more shot to dodge a trip to Stateville, and it all comes down to a hearing scheduled to start Tuesday morning. After more than three and a half years in the Will County jail and a five-week trial that wrapped up in September, the disgraced former Bolingbrook cop's lawyers will try to convince Judge Edward Burmila to give him a do-over. And that's not all—matters from a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Peterson by his slain third wife's family will be shoehorned into the proceedings. And one of Peterson's current attorneys, Steve Greenberg, expects to argue that Judge Burmila should sanction former Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky. But wait—there's more. Peterson's lawyers plan to call Will County State's Attorney …

Look, this is an argument to take all guns away from cops. This guy was a 30 year cop and a sergeant. No more guns for these killers. Now, killing a few wives is no big deal, especially when they are young and will not do what they are told. Peterson did it well. I love the dry bathtub deal. Brilliant.

Lawyer Blamed For Losing Drew Peterson Murder Trial Coughs Up Records
Former Drew Peterson lawyer Joel Brodsky gave in and turned over his financial records, but attorneys for the convicted wife-killer want him to hand over even more.
The attorney accused by a former colleague of blowing the Drew Peterson murder trial has surrendered his financial records, but lawyers for the convicted wife-killer want even more. Attorney Joel Brodsky at first resisted a subpoena for his financial records but eventually complied, to an extent. Attorney Steve Greenberg—who still represents Peterson and is fighting to get him a new trial—wants additional documents from Brodsky "There's still more records," Greenberg said after a Friday morning hearing before Will County Judge Edward Burmila. "Hopefully we'll get them and that will be that." If Brodsky doesn't cough up the records, Burmila will convene a hearing Wednesday. The judge ordered that Peterson—who has been locked up at the …

If Brodsky's actions were so bad, he should lose his law license. The rest of the legal team should also lose their law licenses as well for knowing what Brodsky was going to do and allowing it to happen. Legal malpractice. more ›
