i mean these are pretty startling allegations. now victim two never testified, ann, as you know. if he was saying what ziegler was saying he was saying that he was the greatest thing that ever happened to him, no molestation, why didn t they put him on the stand? absolutely. the thing that comes down to this, in the michael jackson trial, 40-year-old men don t have sleepovers. jerry sandusky, grown men don t shower with little boys. the fact is they have to try this case which is a really difficult case in a defense. and the fact is should they put the evidence on in yes. they said we didn t have time. we should get a new trial. we weren t really ready. we want to have a doover. some maybe this is the kind of thing they ll throw-in an appeal that didn t work on a new trial motion. the problem is one kid said it didn t happen. doesn t mean it didn t happen to everyone else. he was acquitted of this charge with victim number two, the so-called shower incident. he was acquitted in t

difficult case in a defense. and the fact is should they put the environmenvidence on in yes. they said we didn t have time. we should get a new trial. we weren t really ready. we want to have a doover. some maybe this is the kind of thing they ll throw-in an appeal that didn t work on a new trial motion. the problem is one kid said it didn t happen. doesn t mean it didn t happen to everyone else. he was acquitted of this charge with victim number two, the so-called shower incident. he was acquitted in the criminal case. that means the victim now has to prove it. it s a much lower burden of proof. but this could be his way of saying i m still not testifying in the civil case but here s what i would say if i did. cheap. let me ask you about what ziegler asked sandusky about j. paterno. ziegler is defending jay paterno. i ll get to his family on this in a moment. he said with paterno allowed him to keep coaching if he knew
just got more interesting today because the peterson defense team also tried calling the prosecutor to the stand. a kitchen sink attempt to get a new trial. the judge just denied that attempt to put james glasgow in the witness stand to answer questions about the aspects of the trial. the judge said no. we expect to hear the judge s ruling on this new trial motion by the defense team, which is not expected to go over, then the sentencing phase of the day is expected to begin later in the afternoon with drew peterson himself expected to speak. we asked about any taped or written remarks he may have gotten down on paper to help him through that and we were told those would not be available. drew peterson apparently will speak before he s sentenced. this will tick along quickly. steve brown, we may check back,. in syria, a mortar attack
he gets an opportunity to ask him on the stand and takes a pass. jon: and he says he has proof. what is the prosecution making of all this? reporter: well, yesterday they were pretty quiet because it was entirely a day for the defense to put on its case for a potential new trial during this hearing, but, frankly, it was quite clear that james glascow the prosecutor didn t really know what to make of it. very satisfied with wha the way court went this mourn. we are in unchartered waters. i ve never had a post trial motion of this nature but i m getting a good feeling from the way the thing is going. reporter: legal experts suggest that this appeal for a new trial is an extreme long shot and at some point today they will move onto the hearing segment, the actual sentencing segment of today s proceedings, and it looks like peterson could face as much as 60 years in prison. please note that he is 59 years old now.
