Let me make -- easy factor.

Who this feet deep at both Stacey will they zero G -- -- witness.

Oh man they say it's over she shows up she does -- yeah maybe Sean showed -- at a slower if you got -- -- yeah I think he's been real life.

I absolutely absolutely she's alive course.

Does anybody have any -- she's got.

No there's no sign of life he's hasn't medium and anybody know he's heard from -- -- -- and I talked to my wife and weeks that's.

Actually I haven't talked -- first I started eight years.

Women may now hour two of drew Peterson's attorney is the husband wife team of Jo when Lisa Lopez.

Now Joseph.

To welcome and Lisa welcome I'm not gonna put you on the -- -- apologize for that right yes thank you are right now.

The two if you husband wife team the only woman on the defense team and there are loads of lawyers.

What's it like when you go home at night.

Well right now it's it's it's all about there right now there's really not so much of Joseph and Lisa.

But at the end of the day we try to take a little bit of time out for ourselves.

But I guess although -- it's -- stay in until midnight well thirty and get up at 6630 there's there's no glamour.

It's just it's all the fine for -- now are right now as I look at you with the two -- you are dressed.

-- -- match and you do it in the courtroom as well.

You got magenta you've got magenta tie and and show on afraid to look but I know that your socks he uses his same colors and tie -- -- Are they all my goodness they are at this gentleman the Sox are pink and purple.

Anyway.

Why do that.

It's just something we like to and relate them to match I mean we we are married and we like the same cause like the same type of clothes so we just figured we would be -- -- okay.

So now you've got the jury -- you were involved in the jury selection prominently involved -- that now they're wearing the same colors what's going not.

We think it's great I think that -- it.

I think they're happy sure they're getting along well there is there is there's a lot of laughter and that comes out of them -- Ellen there's such things that happened in the courtroom.

And I think it's I think it's -- I think -- a very that they like your children are getting along I I don't know what to make of that I mean.

And I jury does whatever they're gonna do win and I don't know if it's good if it's bad habits are different and -- mocking us are or what they're down by I mean -- -- -- -- -- on -- this -- -- -- -- but all right let's get serious now.

You're probably gonna start the defense case on Monday who you gonna put on -- not really sure right now we're gonna start with team what they call the impeachment witnesses the ones that.

Are gonna get -- mostly the police officers the FBI agents that are going to say that these witnesses said something different than what they -- a trial.

So let's start with those and then so that when a prosecution witness said it happened on Tuesday you're gonna come bring in some of -- say it happened on Thursday right that they said it happened -- Collateral I mean Illinois -- collateral outlet up it's impeachment goes the credibility as a jury instructions says that the jurors and take into consideration.

The first -- the second save and give whatever weight they plants would they want to give it mainly going to be even anyway.

All right you're known I can't go back from -- notice the shark yes you proudly represent the outfit in Chicago would you call it.

Well that's what it's called I mean I I I I.

Done a lot of those cases I mean there's all right no question about it you so you're good at cross examination I've seen you cross examine witnesses your very good at that.

All that you put Drew Peterson on the on the -- -- the other thing about putting a client understand that's his decision and its decision only he can make you know him.

Would you recommend that he do that.

Well a young I think -- say is that this is I trained police officers -- -- by hundreds of times in courtrooms and you know that the thing about it is a lot of times and most criminal cases.

It's my feeling in less it's self defense case or entrapment case there's no reason called defendant because the jury's gonna be instructed.

That they can't consider that defective and that didn't testify this week was a very powerful week for the prosecution between this medical examine our -- case.

Who said there's no way that this was an accident it was definitely a homicide and Neil schori who comes out and says that the fourth wife came and -- To him and told him that the night one night you came home with a woman's clothes since lead to a wet.

Up to her -- elbow up to his elbows.

That was devastating wasn't well I mean any witnesses devastated criminal case all the evidence that comes and against the -- defendants prejudicial debating about the wet -- Because the judge kept that out.

No we think -- about let me put that back at my company kept out shortstop.

Wouldn't that be reflective of his forcing her down she did -- -- get water Rainer which sleeves are not relevant.

I think -- if you were prosecutor you want -- -- would -- about Nebraska went a lot of the stuff and utilities and -- yes I certainly are right and not a -- unit all right guys well we're looking forward to love seeing what the defense has to say you think you'll be wrapped up soon in this your your case I think we'll be rapidly they can mean a year I think -- yankees -- -- -- -- and he saw the State's -- -- you know -- I'm not surprised given the judge.

Police -- and -- Lopez thanks so much.
