coaching her. the fact that he was even present for that interview is mind-boggling. >> the testimony, damning. yet peterson and his dream team were still convinced. >> they had not done anything to put drew peterson at the scene of the death. >> the prosecution rested. the defense took over and successfully started to question the lack of physical evidence. then a bizarre turn of events. kathleen savio's defense attorney was called to the stand by the defense to discredit stacy. >> and i literally laughed. no, they're not. >> but they were. smith was contacted by stacy peterson days before her disappearance. the defense thought smith would testify that stacy would say anything to get money from drew when they divorced. instead, smith testified that stacy told him, drew killed

kathleen. >> i could not fathom how would it help anything i was saying. i couldn't. i couldn't see what this was doing for their case. >> it was the worst thing that i've ever been a part of in a courtroom. it was awful. >> after smith's bombshell testimony, the defense team publicly put on a brave face. >> strong day. strong day. >> they tried to recover with their final witness. drew and kathleen's own son. thomas testified, he did not believe his father killed his mother. his father, drew peterson, never testified. >> it's very difficult to sit in there and see someone who you think maybe heard someone close to you. >> throughout the murder trial for kathleen savio, candace aikin hoped for some clues about her missing niece stacy. >> did your eyes ever meet? >> yes.

that shrill feminine screech that he didn't kill kathy. that's the guy that killed kathy. you got a glimpse into his soul. >> i wasn't going to take the double. i was not going to let him say that. my reapply was you're a liar. you did kill her. >> it was called the largest railroad job ever. he lashed out at him, to never forget what you've done here. >> i don't know that anything anything wrong with it. if it made him happy to vent, it made him happy to venl. >> his outburst could not save him. almost nine years after he murdered kathleen savio, he was sentenced to 38 years. not eligible for release until he is people in years old. >> the reason i never looked drew peterson in the eye is because i never acknowledged his

>> defensetorian steve greenburg is now leading the appeal. he disagrees. >> i've played it over in my head many times. >> i just can't imagine why you would ever want to call a witness to have them say that your client committed the crime. >> greenburg also argued that the hearsay evidence, all of that damaging testimony about what they told others about drew, his behavior and guilt, should never have been admitted. >> the hearsay testimony doesn't place drew at the scene 0of the crime if there was a crime, and there wasn't. >> peeterson is confident that the court will rule in his favor. a win that could make peeterson a free man chlts but not if this man has his way. >> if i have anything to do with it, hopefully, it will end with

>> candiace aiken lives with regret. regret when she remembers the very last time she saw stacey alive. it was just 10 days before she disappeared. >> that's when i saw the fear. and the stress that she was under. >> looking back, aiken now wishes she had forced stacey to leave with her. >> she said she didn't have a place she could go. we said that she could come to california. but i don't think she felt like she had a place to go. >> and now more than seven years after she vanished, the house stacey called home is where her two children still live. >> when you see them, do you still talk about their mother? >> as much as they want to talk about her, i do. we talk k about good times. that's as far as we go. >> two innocent children growing up without their mother just

faith that one day stacey will be found. faith that one day, justice will be served. >> law and order, the fueltive who left officers on a three week man hunt is talking. this is "cnn tonight." wait until you hear what he says happened inside the prison. plus, donald trump puts a price on free speech. 500 milli$500 million. that's what he wants after they cancelled the spanish language broadcast of the ms. usa pageant. but if you think the presidential candidate will back down, well, you don't know donald trump. i want you to listen to what he said just a short time ago.
