08/02/2012: Burmila gave this instruction to the jury regarding the imporper testimony: “I have an instruction on the law I’m going to read to you before we proceed any further in the case. I will re-read this instruction at the end of the case. You have heard the testimony of Mr. Thomas Pontarelli... During the redirect examination, the assistant state’s attorney asked the question which she knew would draw an inadmissible response. You cannot consider any of the testimony given by Mr. Pontarelli during his redirect examination, and more specifically whether he said he had gotten a message from Mr. Peterson, felt intimidated, or anything about a bullet. The Court does not mean to suggest that you must necessarily disregard the remainder of Mr. Pontarelli’s testimony... It remains your duty to reach a verdict on the facts before you, and not on any other grounds,” said Burmila.

The witness is then asked to read the report (Kathleen's Statement) out loud.
“On July 5, I left my home at 8:45 to take my children to day camp. At 9:00 I went to pick up some items I needed from the market, and arrived home around 9:45 am . . . I walked upstairs, my room, to collect my dirty laundry. I started down the stair, only to be knocked down by my husband, Drew Peterson. At that time, Drew demanded that I sit down on the stairs and not get up, he proceeded to go over how awful and bitchy I was, and I should stop being so terrible to him. I don’t talk to him over the phone, or I never talk at the door when I pick up the kids. He made a statement how he did nothing wrong, and how he had to leave me. He wanted to be my friend, he wanted me to admit that it was all my fault, he looked very tired and upset, so I thought I would be wise not to make angry."

"I got very tired of the abuse, and not being able to go anywhere, and told him to go home or do what he came to do. If he wanted to kill me, to do it. He was dressed in his SWAT uniform, and he had black leather gloves on. I got up and told him to leave; he said that he’d go when he wanted, he looked out the window, took out his ear piece, and threw down my garage opener on the stairs. He waited until no one was around, and then left. I called my attorney, and Steve Maniaci, and my sister, and Mary Pontarelli. I was afraid to file anything; he was very unstable, and I thought he would deny it . I told him I’d wait a few days until we could talk. Hopefully, by then, he’d get help, so that we could get the divorce quicker , I said, ‘Go ahead, just kill me.’ He said where do you want it, and I said in the head. He said, ‘OK, then turn our head,’ and I did it. And then he said that he would never be able to hurt me. And then he left.”
