I have thought about this for days, now. I have a Trial Watch zine. There is a national trial about a man who may have poisoned and then smothered his wife so he could continue on with his mistress back in 1998.

This is important to those who may want to take the time to look into what Illinois laws are as far as what evidence can be let into a case. Peterson and Brodsky may be counting on what can be let in a trial and what can’t.

The Jensen Trial is a precedent setting case… read below…

Julie Jensen was found dead in her Pleasant Prairie home Dec. 3, 1998. Mark Jensen was charged in 2002, but legal wrangling over evidence delayed the trial.

Much of the contention dealt with statements Julie Jensen made before she died and a note she left behind pointing the finger at her husband.

"I pray I'm wrong + nothing happens ... but I am suspicious of Mark's suspicious behaviors + fear for my demise," she wrote in a letter she gave to a neighbor before she died.

Julie Jensen also told police, a neighbor and her son's teacher that she suspected her husband was trying to kill her, according to court documents.

Until recent years, using such evidence in court was virtually unheard of because of constitutional guarantees giving criminal defendants the right to confront their accusers.

But the Wisconsin Supreme Court created new evidence rules, guided by a U.S. Supreme Court decision that laid the groundwork for the use of Julie Jensen's letter and statements to police.

It was determined at a summer hearing that the letter and statements should be allowed at trial.

I don’t know how to look for those laws etc… in Illinois, but the family has access to attorney’s, District Attorney’s etc… to find this out and get the ball rolling to make sure this type of evidence can come into any case (Savio and Stacy) or any unfortunate victims.

It’s a lot of work… can anyone out there help? Do any of you know how to help with this information???

This could be true help in justice for Stacy (and Kathleen)
