Drew Peterson arrested on murder charges

Per the Chicago Tribune, Ex-cop Drew Peterson was arrested near his suburban Chicago home on Thursday and is being held for $20 million bail. The arrest came soon after his indictment of the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio, who was allegedly drowned in her bathtub in 2004.

Peterson's case has stirred the media since 2007, when his fourth wife Stacy Peterson went missing. Savio's death was initially passed off as an accident, but after Stacy's disappearance it was re-examined and determined to be a murder. Stacy still remains to be found.

The article describes reactions from the Savio family and Stacy's relatives, but twitterers post their reactions, nearly all assuming Peterson is guilty.
