42:45Now PlayingPart 4: The Stacy Peterson mystery collides head-on with the courtroom battle over Kathleen Savio’s death. In Part 4, Dr. Phil sits down with Steve Greenberg, Drew Peterson’s former criminal defense attorney, for an inside look at what happened behind the scenes of one of the most scrutinized cases in America. Greenberg explains why he believes Drew’s relentless media blitz (“Win a Date with Drew” and more) helped turn up the heat that ultimately led to indictment and how reckless publicity can poison a jury pool, disrespect a grieving family, and box a defense into a corner.
Dr. Phil and Greenberg also unpack the moment Greenberg says changed everything: a defense decision to put attorney Harry Smith on the stand, delivering testimony that jurors allegedly couldn’t shake.
From Drew’s current prison status to the added murder-for-hire conviction that ensures he’ll never walk free, this episode pulls back the curtain on strategy, ego, and consequences while the most haunting question remains unanswered: what happened to Stacy Peterson, and will anyone ever reveal where she is?
