Drew Peterson calls Lifetime movie ‘hysterical’

Drew Peterson, the former Illinois police sergeant suspected of killing his ex-wife, called Saturday’s Lifetime movie about his alleged crimes “hysterical,” according to reports.

Rob Lowe plays Peterson in the TV movie, “Drew Peterson: Untouchable.”

Peterson, who is held in the Will County Jail awaiting trial for the first- degree murder of his ex-wife, Kathleen Savio, was portrayed in the movie as a murderous, “loutish misogynist.”

In one scene of the movie, Lowe’s character declares to a neighbor, “I’m untouchable, bitch.”

“He thought it was hysterical,” said Peterson’s lead defense attorney, Joel Brodsky. “He chuckled at all of the inaccuracies and things that never happened.”

Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in October 2007 and has never been found.

Her family also was “stunned” by the liberties taken by the film, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Stacy Peterson’s sister, Cassandra Cales, told the newspaper: “It’s so inaccurate, I had to laugh,” she said. “It was so far-fetched and off the mark. I was sad about it before it aired, but it wasn’t my sister’s story.”
