Judge Burmila has begun the hearing by addressing the matter of the defamation lawsuit filed by Joel Brodsky against his former co-counsel Steve Greenberg.

Judge is asking Drew Peterson if he still has “100 percent confidence” in the attorney’s that are representing him now.

“Yes, sir,” Peterson said.

Burmila said he had concerns that this could be a “ tactic” and could come up in the future court proceedings.
