Hallelujah! That's the first thing that popped into my mind, too, KayJones. It's about time.

Yes, I heard earlier and was delighted that the jury got this one right. Actually, there was one anxious moment, when I saw that the jury had asked for a definition of the word "unanimous"--that sounded as if it might bode ill for a conviction, but apparently they worked it out in the end.

Stacey Peterson Found?

This post if from a few days ago, and I haven't checked on updates since I heard it on the news then, but I believe I heard that the blue barrel they found is not related to Stacy P. Haven't heard about the remains though. Even if it isn't Stacy - it there a gene that makes people so sick, to first, kill another human being, and then, but the body in a barrel and through it in the water. I know this is done all lot more than anyone of us wants to know, but what's the point? Forgive, forget, and then move on, for gosh sake.

What is your guilty TV pleasure?

I have watched some of the shows mentioned. I like reality shows. I know that a lot of it is fake or edited to create drama etc, but I think it's so interesting to see how other people live their lives. I don't have to agree or understand it, but I'm fasicnated with it. I love House Hunters, but I'm not embarassed about that. I know lots of people who like to "look" through the different houses. I learn a little bit from the House Flipping shows or Mike Holmes construction type shows. Primetime television is so filled with trash, sex and violence so I don't want my DD's to see that (they are 3 & 6) My family likes watching some of the Food Network shows. My DD's love Unwrapped where they show you how certain foods are made (usually fun ones like ice cream or snack foods). My DH likes the history part of it and the kids just like the candy! Kid in a Candy Store or Cupcake Wars too. We were even watching a game show last night! But when they are in bed-My guilty pleasures would be...Sister Wives, Hoarders, My Strange Obssession, and throw in Days of our Lives once in a while! When I was single I would spend my Sundays doing laundry and watching cheesy Lifetime movies! Used to LOVE them! There is also another one-a Canadian show for Teens called Degrassi. I watched it when I was a kid and it's still on (new characters). Even though I am old enough to be their parents now I still like the new shows!

You are aware that OJ was just sentenced to jail time... right? I didn't mean under the radar before his wife's death (although from dilly's post it sounds like he should have been) I meant after his death. And, I didn't mean OJ would commit the exact same crime in the exact same way with the exact same people... but something was bound to happen with him because he's insane -- and not insane like your MIL or old boyfriend, but really clinically insane. No, Drew probably won't cover up a murder using a bathtub accident again, or have another wife mysteriously disappear, but I wouldn't doubt something out of the ordinary could happen to anyone he's involved with for a long period of time. Maybe a child will die of SIDS or a wife will fall overboard or be in a car accident. Sane people would walk through life knowing they are on the radar and live life like they are under a microscope. Narcissist don't; they think they're indestructible and will continue to hurt those around them and act irrationally even when "under the radar". And, I know a lot of men with kids have affairs. And I am aware that a lot of women have affairs with them... that wasn't my point. I just wasn't aware that "Stacy Perterson" was having an affair with him while he was married; it makes me see HER in a different light... that was my point. (and just because everyone's doing it, doesn't make it right or acceptabe in my book)

I'll join in the Hallelujah Chorus as well. Finally a jury gets it right. Justice for Kathleen Savio, and in a way for his 4th wife (Stacey) as well. If it wasn't for her he would still be getting away with murder. For her family's sake I hope they find her, but I wouldn't count on Drew telling anyone what he did with her.

My sister was an administrator in the school his children attended. She said that he was a real jerk, always hitting on the pretty young teachers. Heaven forbid one of his kids would be disciplined for some infraction. In he'd stroll, blaming everyone but HIS child. She said he gave her the creeps.

An old friend is a member of the prosecution team. I'm very proud of his work. He's confident that the appeal is going nowhere.

DD2 is a legal assistant, and is in and out of the Will County Courthouse most days. She's happy he was found guilty, but is more happy it's over!

Let's not forget about Christopher Vaughn, who is being tried in the courtroom next door for the murder of his wife and 3 beautiful children. The guy is a whack job!

Oh, it's over? So SOON? (Five years...)

NONE of the parties to this case appear to possess Outstanding Character. I won't miss seeing the gaggle of slack-jawed gawkers in and out of the courtroom, or the mafia-styin' defense team -- nice look, you clowns! I got worried when it was reported that the JURY starting wearing coordinated clothing. (WTH?) I haven't been in Will County in ages. Coverage of this trial would keep anyone away -- in case the Old Boy police force wasn't enough deterent.

Drew cheated on Kathleen with the then-17-year-old Stacy. He was 43 at the time. Drew and Stacy had a 3-month-old when they wed. Do I recall that Kathleen was 'the other woman' while he was married to Wife #2? Wasn't there some dopey girl-child whose father had to step in and rescue her from Drew right before he was arrested?

chisue, I agree that many, if not most of the players in this drama leaves a little bit to be desired character-wise. But then again, how many of us could come away sparkly clean through that kind of scrutiny? Anyway, the common tread through all of them was Drew, and the world is just a little safer with him locked up. Now lets hope they do the same with that fellow Vaughn, who is being tried in the next room. That is every bit as horrible, if not even more so.

I thought it would turn out like OJ yesterday when I heard the jury question. What a cocky slimeball he is. What would any woman see in him, I wonder?

This is the best news I have heard in a long time. Drew always acts so cocky thinking he can keep getting away with murder.

Ah, yes, Lily, I think that is the vital question. No WOMAN would see anything in Drew. He was successful with GIRLS.

I wonder where he got the $230K he gave his son before he was arrested? (Covering that up got the son fired from the B'brook police force.)

A far as the money he gave his son, I'm sure someone who thought he could get away with murder(s), didn't think twice about accepting a few bribes in the line of duty.... It being tax free and all, that could add up.

I know very little about this case, but it looks like the jury did it right! Congratulations, the system works!

"The system" almost failed to work at all due to the True Blue police department in that town. Heads should roll, even now, over the police questioning Stacy *about a suspect (Drew)* WITH DREW PRESENT.

If Peterson could serve (himself) for 30 years, I'd like to see that PD shaken up by an outside agency.

Drew Peterson found GUILTY!
