Drew Peterson’s former attorney considers revealing killer cop’s secrets

[@wiccan3548]

Why not send an anonymous letter of where she is

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

exactly. if this lawyer does indeed know, how can he NOT give those details to her poor family? Sounds to me, like hes a narcissist too like Drew. I am in shock hearing that.

[@wiccan3548]

@@BelfastManUtdTherapy I remember when they had a press conference at the beginning of Drew’s trial and they were all wearing sunglasses and joking about how she was living it up on a beach with another man. If he knew all that time what exactly happened to her, he is just as disgusting as Drew Peterson. Not to mention when he was also right by his side when they did a Win A Date With Drew contest.

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

@@wiccan3548 heya thanks for letting me know, bloody hell, a win a date with drew contest? Thats beyond sick.

[@michael-4k4000]

would you risk going to jail for a few months to tell a person where another person is buried???

[@morellapoe2814]

@michael-4k4000 Yes

[@whitequeen96]

Well, his comments leave no doubt that whatever Peterson told him led him to believe that Peterson is guilty. That's pretty telling right there.

[@thelemonvr8747]

He needs to reveal what happened to Stacie because her family deserves to know

[@THREESISTERS15]

Tell the public. Give those kids their mother to bury.

[@godzillamanstreb524]

She’s probably out in large body of water….Lake Michigan perhaps

[@fabricatedreality8218]

now watch him not tell. dont open up your mouth unless you intend on helping her family who are spending everyday in agony.

[@ticiaswatch3780]

I think the judge is full of Sh't!! Lawyers should be able to provide answers once their obligation to their client is over and will not change the outcome of appeals. The family has the right to get their loved one back. Drew already got his due course and more rights than Stacy ever had.

[@marieg3865]

Joel a pariah? More like a bottom feeder. Probably looking to write a book. Joel you are almost 70 years old. Please draft 2 letters to the wives 2 and 3's families telling them what you know. Keep it in your safe to be read after you pass. Those families need to know what happened to their loved one, and Cassandra needs to know where her sister is.

[@AnnaLexi]

*_I just said the same thing!! He looks up there in age.. Therefore he should tell the families something!!_* 🙏🏻

[@oliviachetcuti225]

I think you made a boo boo. I think you may have meant wife 3 & 4.

[@debrakiser1976]

You need to reread his story before it was his 3rd and 4th wife's

[@kimcatacutan8980]

The attorney is awful. Just trying to make money off of the story. He could have anonymously told the families or law enforcement rather than do it this way.

[@angelapeterson-qs7rz]

Give her back to her family.

[@janekingsmill4280]

Everyone knows Drew Peterson did it anyway.

[@rachelwarren8142]

This guy truly truly gave me the creeps. He has always made my stomach turn

[@andrewbochicchio2232]

The lawyer should have just not said anything and just for instance made an anonymous tip to the police

[@kimbernewman6403]

He’s too arrogant for that. He wants the spotlight.

[@CommentsAllowed]

Or he really doesn't know anything. Anyways, if what his says is true and he knows all this information, I'm pretty sure client attorney privilege doesn't apply. At least to the extent that he cannot knowingly let his client perjure himself. What he can and should of done is contact the ethics board and discuss it with them. They can tell him what to do. CYA

[@beautifulsurprise9424]

Attorney-client privilege most certainly applies. You can know you client is guilty but if you allow them to testify and lie then you're in trouble. Which is why most defendants don't testify. So yes you're right you can't allow your client to perjure themselves but the way around that is to not allow them to testify. Also, if you're client revealed to you that they are in fact guilty you cannot then tell the world years later and inform everyone of what he/she revealed to you. That is a breach of the privilege between attorney and client. The client forfeit the privilege and start telling people what he/she disclosed to the attorney and then the attorney can discuss it but if the client doesn't forfeit it then the attorney is bound by the privilege of attorney and client and cannot reveal that information.

[@WagonBurner1013]

​@@CommentsAllowed you a lawyer?😅😅

[@Bethanyview]

Can’t you at least tell Stacy’s family.

[@heatherrrenea]

That family deserves to know where she is after all these years of searching

[@karenpierson9841]

I don't really think he knows what happened to Stacy. Why would Drew tell him the truth? Drew doesn't know how to do that

[@gomez3126-f4n]

Drew will never reveal anything because he's NOT a man. He said Stacy abandoned her children, ran off with another man, took her bikini and is dancing somewhere. So stupid and insulting. This lawyer should do the right thing, even if it breaks law doctrine and help give closure to the families.

[@blueyedcota]

Ethics vs morals

[@sallyvella7012]

He actually has a good point that the other crooked attorneys got to keep their license so he should keep his and how about the crooked wife knowing her own husband should be disbarred and isn't, why is she still on the bench? Are they elected or is there no peer judicial review of personal conduct and double standard codes? Why aren't they given the same sanctions?

[@danni1993]

I AGREE! They're all corrupt.

[@MB-tb5vt]

Because there's two justice systems in this country. One for us and one for the elites.

[@ElizabethF2222]

So many politicians are corrupt these days! The system is broken. Before Nancy Pelosi retired, she and her husband were well known insider trading monsters. That's how she amassed a $200 MILLION fortune on her $196k per year former speaker salary, and now she gets a huge salary and benefits for life. There is no way anyone is that good at trading stocks. Give me a break. She is a thief and corrupt. Makes me so damn angry. This guy's license should be reinstated but if he blabs his client's secrets, then no. Attorney-client confidentiality is crucial to our justice system, even if it involves a scumbag like Drew.

[@ElizabethF2222]

@@MB-tb5vt Well said. Exactly!

[@maximumoverload5134]

The whole judicial system is corrupt, it's plain to see , look how they are bringing false charges on Donald Trump for a political witch hunt to manipulate his run for a second Presidential term even though the majority of Americans want TRUMP for president, look what there doings to him ,all controled by the democRATS, FJB !

[@ritahindle5025]

He thinks it’s Despicable ….. does he also agree the lawyer losing his licence was despicable?

[@stephaniejacobs1267]

Doesn't he have a moral obligation to tell, if he truly knows WHERE she (Stacy) is?

[@JarethTheGoblinKingForever]

A moral obligation to tell, and a legal obligation to keep his mouth shut. In such a conundrum, considering that he's over 70 years old and has lost his license to practice law, he should probably lean more towards his moral conscience than his legal ethics at this point. He won't hurt himself or anybody else with this information, but he will help Stacey's family.

[@debrabaron1909]

@@JarethTheGoblinKingForever Jareth, he does not have a legal obligation to stay quiet once a client accuses him of ineffective council. He pointed this out to the judge. The judge told him he has a good point. But he had to wait until Drew Peterson appeal is over. Now there's a gag order. He should be patient. Drew P. did not see this coming. Another murder charge.

[@a.w.thompson4001]

The difference between ethics in the legal sense, and morality. The ethics of the law protect attorney-client privilege; basic morality protects the victim and the victims family from being further damaged by the acts of a convicted murderer, and gives them & Stacy the dignity & peace of knowing what happened and where she is.

Whatttt??.... okay first of all, the guy is no longer even a lawyer --- he's not trying to be a lawyer anymore --- in my opinion, not being able to reveal the truth isnt much different from tampering with evidence or lying to the police.
