Drew's 2nd son testifies
GRAND JURY | Teen says he told truth despite 'headache'
Prosecutors pulled Drew Peterson's second teenage son in front of the grand jury Thursday, and the experience left the youth feeling sick.
"I've got a headache," Peterson's 13-year-old son, Kristopher, said upon returning home from his long appearance before the grand jury. When asked by his father if he told the truth at the hearing, Kristopher nodded.
Two weeks earlier, Kristopher's 15-year-old brother, Thomas, was called before the same grand jury investigating the 2004 death of their mother, Kathleen Savio, and the October disappearance of their stepmother, Stacy Peterson.
"Tom was fine," Peterson said of the other son. "Tom had them laughing."
Before the conclusion of Thursday's proceedings, Peterson was not so sure things would go as smoothly with Kristopher, noting the teen would not hesitate to tell officials to "pound sand."
"[With] Kris, I'm kind of afraid," Peterson said. "If we get called on a contempt charge, I'll go get him."
The State Police have named Peterson a suspect in Stacy's disappearance and have classified the case a "potential homicide."
