Brodsky withdraws motion to stay Savio estate hearings
July 17, 2008 ·
Drew Peterson’s attorney Joel Brodsky has withdrawn his motion to stay court proceedings on the reopening of Kathleen Savio’s estate.

Brodsky had previously asked the judge to postpone all hearings pending the outcome of an appeal on a decision to reopen the estate.

Savio family attorney Martin Glink said Brodsky faxed him the withdrawal decision Wednesday night. On Thursday, Glink presented the fax to Judge Carmen Goodman, who was supposed to rule Thursday on whether to grant the motion to stay.

No other court dates were set for the case.

JOLIET — In May, the lawyers representing Drew Peterson and his uncle asked a Will County judge to stop the court proceedings in Kathleen Savio’s newly reopened probate case until a later date.

Around 3 p.m. Wednesday, they changed their minds.

JOLIET — Initially, lawyers representing Drew Peterson wanted to stop court proceedings in Kathleen Savio’s newly reopened probate case until a later date. On Wednesday, they changed their minds to encourage a wrongful death lawsuit, which would allow his attorney to question state police and others.

Joel Brodsky sent a fax to the Savio family’s lawyers explaining that he had withdrawn his motion for a stay of the proceedings — meaning his earlier request to bring the reopened probate case to a grinding halt. The Savio family wanted to activate the probate case so they could investigate the possibility of filing a wrongful death lawsuit in the 2004 death of the 40-year-old Bolingbrook woman. If that happens, it’s fine with Brodsky.

“It is more like a gift than a problem,” he said Thursday morning.

A wrongful death lawsuit would give him the opportunity to depose — or question — the state police and others to find out what they know.

“It would almost be like a private grand jury,” Brodsky said.

"When [Joel] Brodsky, 50, got in trouble for forging a dead man's signature to cash a $23,000 check four years ago, he convinced the state board that disciplines lawyers to suspend his license a mere three months instead of the three years originally proposed." - "Brodsky's disciplinary issue came up after he split on bad terms from a former law partner who handled an estate case. Brodsky learned there was $23,000 in an account on which there had been no activity in more than five years. He never called his former law partner, but went in and signed documents under the name of the estate executor to close the account and get the money, which he put in his personal safe. Brodsky told a bank official the executor was "incapacitated." - [11/20/2007 "Peterson lawyer's heavy-handed tactics"]
