the victim is not the victim of hearsay. the victim is the victim of the crime. but now my next guest has reaffirmed our faith in the criminal justice system when won a case against all odds. prosecutor james glasgow known as a state s attorney for will county. thanks for being with us this evening. my pleasure, judge. judge jeanine: we appreciate it. an exclusive for us. i guess the first question to ask you is you were relentless in your efforts to indict and convict drew peterson. why? well, when he went on his public caravan on national television i guess worldwide television and basically mocked violence against women, domestic violence and taunted law enforcement, i took it as a challenge and also i have been working for 20 years battling domestic violence and people like this just cannot be allowed to continue. and, you know, we obviously had
just let loose with five years of frustration arguing the law and then the judge ruled our way. that was the turning point for me in the case and we never lost focus after that. judge jeanine: as someone who watched i don t think you ever lost focus. the question that everyone is asking now, what is going to happen with the stacy peterson case, the fourth wife, missing since october of 2007? yes. well, we had a hearing in 2010 and we one of the things we had to prove at that hearing is that drew peterson killed both kathleen savio and stacy peterson by a preponderance of the evidence and that is what judge white found. some reporters thought we had a good case with regards to stacey peterson. we will go back and review that not just because the reporter said so. when you don t have a body, judge, you know it can be defendant. and stacy has been missing for

couldn t seventh fay in the divorce. stacy killed so she can t testify in kathleen. but drew wasn t charged. are you worried about ineffect eastboundnes effectiveness of counsel? absolutely not. we talked with a lot of lawyers who understand this decision and it was the right call to make at the time because of the difficulty of dealing with hearsay. you know, they say that a failure is a lonely orphan and that victory has a thousand fathers. you know, everybody if we had won the case everybody would have said what a smart decision, what a great decision. and when you lose everybody wants to criticize and try to put it off. i was the leader of the team. we made the decision is among the team members as a team and we are all standing behind it the right thing to to. the only thing we had to do and we will move forward with the appeal now. judge jeanine: there is no
