CHICAGO / Thomas Drew Peterson, the son of former Bolingbrook police officer and accused murderer Drew Peterson, will graduate at the top of his class from Bolingbrook (Ill.) High School this June.
Thomas "Tommy" Peterson, 18, has been named valedictorian of the 2011 graduating class.
As such Tommy Peterson will deliver the valedictory address during graduation ceremonies on June 5th.
"Drew couldn’t be happier. When he shared this incredible news with me his chest swelled with pride," says Joel Brodsky, Drew Peterson's lead defense attorney. "I have never seen him look better. He clearly is incredibly proud of his son."
Brodsky visits Peterson regularly in jail and is keeping the public updated on the case via his website www.joelbrodskylaw.com (updates are posted are at the bottom of the homepage).
Drew Peterson, the former police sergeant from Bolingbrook, is accused of killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and implicated in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.
An appellate court is currently deciding whether prosecutors can use hearsay statements allegedly made by the wives against him in his upcoming murder trial.
The hearsay evidence would not normally be allowed, but Illinois passed a special hearsay exception known as "Drew's Law" to allow for hearsay evidence to be admitted in this case and others where it can be proven witnesses were made unavailable so they couldn't testify.
Peterson is in jail awaiting trial on a $20-million bond. He denies any wrongdoing.
