on the drew peterson case. thank you for being with us tonight. i asked steve greenburgh last week i am going to ask you this week not your fooins finest moment in that press conference? >> i have to admit we were blowing off steam after a couple marathon days. we didn't mean to offend anybody or cause any pain to stacy's friends and family. if we did we are very sorry we did. we were blowing off steam. we stupidly did this in front of some cameras. >> you got caught. >> if we offended anybody we certainly didn't mean to. >> joel, i will give you credit for that. joe lopez, they call you the shark. that is your nickname. you have a reputation for defending monsters in chicago. is that correct? >> that's what they say, yes. >> okay. how do you feel about that little interview there? >> well, i mean i have done a lot of interviews. i still think she is alive and we are hoping that if she does come about sometime in the future there's no ed she is dead. we said we have to limit our words and i think he just apolog

in the news paper drew peterson a victim. judge burmila allowed the defense to crank up the smoke machine and fill the courtroom with so much haze the truth will be hard to see. and how is it that a victim is trashed and the criminal celebrityized? that we sacrifice the victim and protect the criminal? and why do defense attorneys do it? they do it because they can. they do it because judges like bumila allow it. a defense strategy succeeds when the jury stops thinking if the defendant is bad and starts wondering is the victim bad. and in a courtroom run by judge bumila you would almost expect the foreperson to stand up and say we the jury find the victim guilty. judge bumed ila needs to understand it is not open season on victims because you want to settle an ol political vendetta. kathleen paid the ultimate price. she cannot speak for herself. at the very least let the jury hear the truth. the whole truth. and later in the show, the teen in this video is behind bars. you are going to be shocked to hear who put him there. up
