Transcript of Geraldo At Large with Matt William Phelps:
Air date: 7/12/08 Fox News Channel
GR: Now to the further adventures- I should say misadventures of Drew Peterson, the disgraced former police Sergeant from suburban Chicago, whose third wife, Kathleen, who was murdered in her bathtub and whose fourth wife Stacy is still missing and presumed dead. Peterson is the only known and announced suspect at least in the death of Stacy, the fourth wife, the Grand Jury is currently investigating both deaths and is expected to have its ruling by the end of summer. But a couple of months ago, Peterson reached out to my next guest, to write a book from Drew’s point of view, investigative author (pans to screen shot of author) Matt William Phelps joins me now to join tell us exactly what it was (screen shot of author's latest book: “I’ll Be Watching You”) that Peterson wanted him to write, uh, welcome, uh, Matt, I appreciate you being here. First of all, did he express any sympathy or, or, uh, you know, or longing or any kind of humane feeling for either his third or fouth wives?
MWP: Nah, ah, I mean no, that wasn’t part of the conversation at all uh and it – the conversation was about what can I get, okay? What can I get? Drew Peterson – I wanna tell my story okay? I don’t want money for it, the money will go into a separate account for my kids and yadda , yadda, yadda. But to answer your question, absolutely not.
GR: So did it seem to you that he was trying to show you evidence that would place blame for Kathleen’s death on fourth wife Stacy?
MWP: Uh, he, uh like I said in the audio tape you played earlier, the the jist of what he said, yes, they wanted me to trash the victims uh, that’s what I felt like anyway. (screen fades into family photo of Stacy, Drew and children by fireplace) Okay, they didn’t come out and say this – they uh meaning uh the Drew and Joel Brodsky (screen fades into additional family photo fireplace, Christmas stockings hung)
GR: His lawyer?
MWP: Right, they didn’t come out and say this, but that’s how I felt, that why I said uh you know that comment about I, I felt like I had to take a shower after talking to this guy (fade in wedding photo, Cassandra, Stacy, Drew and baby) because I felt that, that all they wanted to do was have me, the writer, to talk bad things about Stacy and Kathleen and I wasn’t gonna do that, alright? I spend a lot of my time in my books on victim's stories.
GR: Okay now your uh, latest book, I’ll Be Watching You, uh, about a serial murder case but uh, I just wanna get to the bottom line here, they are writing a book because Brodsky, the attorney has not yet been paid, Drew Peterson is living on his pension I assume, and whatever else he got from the estates of his wives, although some of that is going to be tested now in uh, probate court. Uh, is this a payday and will he successfully sell it?
MWP: That’s the, that’s absolutely feeling I got – that the publicist and Joel Brodsky haven’t been paid for anything and they wanna cash out now.
GR: Cash out?
MWP: And will they sell it? Uh? I’m not gonna do it.
GR: I hope the Grand Jury buys it. Thank you Matt William Phelps, author of I’ll Be Watching You

I'm not surprised that Greta is not touching the Ashely info, but surely thought Nancy G. would by now. Wondering why not anyone in media is touching it. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm totally supportive of Ashley & have no doubts about her or her info, just puzzling why no media has touched this info!

The media has reported. Why NG or GVS et al have not picked up on it? Maybe Ashley is not ready to talk to them yet. To quote a line from U2: "It's alright, it's alright, it's all-right, she moves in mysterious ways." I just keep watching

Comment at Legal Pub:http://legalpublication.blogspot.com/2008/07/do-snakes-in-religious-ceremonies.htmlJoel A. Brodsky said... If trading in snakes is illegal then FOX News Channel should be charged for selling the Geraldo Rivera show. Jerry Rivers (Geraldo's real name) is a snake if there ever was one. Then Fox can assert the 1st amendment as a defense, just like Mr. Coot can. July 13, 2008 9:49 AM

“While one might find much to criticize about Rivera’s reportorial techniques, his ethnicity is genuine. His father’s surname was Rivera, his given name was Gerald, and the only concession he made to fashion was to agree to go by the Spanish pronunciation of his given name to satisfy an employer who wanted an identifiably Puerto Rican reporter. In the world of television, that’s practically a refreshing authenticity.” http://www.snopes.com/media/celebrity/geraldo.asp

It's good to see GR cover the debated book issue, however, I really don't respect GR's style of reporting. His delivery is so "hacky" and he always seems misinformed or not really caring on the validity of his script. For instance, he refers to the deaths of both wives -- referring to Stacy as being dead! How can a legit reporter say that when (although we believe it to be the case), it hasn't' yet been proven. Listen to the youtube video again and you'll see what I'm talking about. This Matt Phelps doesn't come off as too much of a professional either -- "uh, um, um, uh, um,...." Oh well, at least the report keeps the topic active.

Yeah, but here is the devil in the detail again. According to Joel and Drew proceeds from the book were supposed to go "to the children" Joel and Drew always have two different answers within one subject matter. Interesting observation neither Glen Selig or Joel Brodsky have been paid. Are they still searching for the big multi million dollar bonanza to make them all rich ?? PS Maybe Drew can borrow some money off Joe Hosey to pay Joel and Glen !!

I will continue to sit back and watch/read! There is a reason for all of this I am sure! great job Ashley!
