A former police sergeant Drew Peterson is being charged with the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio and is a suspect in the mysterious disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy Peterson.
Peterson’s third wife’s death was originally classified as an accidental drowning (2004) but after his fourth wife Stacy vanished from their home in October 2011, investigators reopened the case and in light of new evidence and re-examining her body Peterson is being charged with Kathleen’s murder.
The Huff Post Chicago reports that The Illinois Supreme Court ordered an appellate court to reconsider if hearsay evidence, which is being disputed should be allowed.
The hearsay evidence purportedly illustrates that Peterson had a financial and emotional motive to kill Savio, according to ABC Chicago.
Watch the video below from Larry King Live:
What do you think his body language in conjunction with his words is communicating?
Do you see any “Hot Spots” (where Peterson’s nonverbal behavior contradicts what he is saying)?

Thank you for all the great comments. Newbies or not it is good to practice spotting facial expressions of emotion and body language gestures in real world events such as interviews. Right or wrong on your comments it is always good to get a baseline before determining the validity of a person’s statements in conjunction with their body language.
It is also important to note that his facial expressions and body language gestures are very subtle throughout the interview.
