Drew Peterson gets 40 extra years for plot to kill prosecutor
2016-07-30
[Chicago Tribune] As Drew Peterson wrapped up his 25-minute speech in court Friday, he turned in his chair and spoke directly to the prosecutor he tried to have killed.

"And Jim Glasgow, there was never any intent to have you killed," he said in a matter-of-fact tone, as prosecutors objected.

"That's all right," the former Bolingbrook police sergeant said, leaning back into his chair. "I'm done."

Moments later, Randolph County Judge Richard Brown sentenced Peterson to 40 years in prison.

Peterson's demeanor was markedly different from the last time he spoke in public, at his 2013 sentencing hearing for the murder of his third wife, when he shrieked his innocence and angrily accused Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow and Illinois State Police Sherlocks of railroading him.

#3  taxpayers must feed him and provide for his medical needs for the remainder of his existance
That can be rectified at any time, by the governor's choice. Wait til he gets old & decrepit & then release him. Taxpayers will still be stuck with some bills, but not at the prison level of opulence.
