Charles Doman, with Anna Maria Domain, Greta Van SusterenJOLIET - The parade of witnesses before the grand jury investigating the murder of Drew Peterson's third wife and the disappearance of his fourth resumed Thursday with his former divorce lawyer and an old in-law summoned to testify.
The grand jury, which convened more than a year ago, last met since before Thanksgiving. On its first day back in action, Alexander Beck, who represented Peterson in his unresolved divorce from slain third wife Kathleen Savio, was called. So was Charlie Doman, Savio's nephew and a former employee of Peterson.
Doman worked in Suds Pub, a Montgomery bar Peterson had owned, as a maintenance man and disc jockey.
Doman and his attorney, Tamara Holder, declined to comment on what transpired during his grand jury appearance. Beck referred questions to his attorney, Matthew Bertani.
"Mr. Beck respects the sanctity of the grand jury and the gravity of these proceedings," Bertani said. "He will not comment on them publicly."
Beck apparently could not say much to the grand jury either.
"He will not, and cannot, according to the Supreme Court rules, reveal any confidences arising out of his representation of Mr. Peterson many years ago," Bertani said.
Still investigating
While the grand jury proceedings have been dormant for weeks, the investigations of Savio's death and Stacy's disappearance have been anything but, said Charles B. Pelkie, a spokesman for the state's attorney's office.
"This by no means indicates a lack of activity in the case," Pelkie said.
"Things are moving forward. Things are full-steam right now and they have been for several months."
