Here is Gloria Allred’s statement about her new role representing spokesperson for Drew Peterson’s fiancee, Christina Raines.
Who do you think made the call? And if Drew ever gets out what are the odds Allred will let Raines move back in?
Today, I can confirm that I will be representing Chrissy Raines as a spokesperson in the case of People v. Drew Peterson.
Chrissy, age 24, has known Mr. Peterson for many years. This year they became romantically involved and she lived on and off with him for part of this year. She cares for him and believes that he cares for her. They did have plans to marry once the divorce from Stacy Peterson became final.
Chrissy was shocked when Drew was arrested on a charge that he killed Kathleen Savio (his third wife). She takes no position on whether or not he is guilty of that crime or whether or not he had anything to do with the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy Peterson. That is for the jury to decide. However, her heart goes out to both families who have suffered such a terrible loss.
Chrissy may be a witness in this case. If called as a witness Chrissy plans to tell the truth.
I am in the process of applying to the Illinois Court for permission to represent her in this matter. It will be within the discretion of the Court as to whether or not to admit me for this purpose.
Chrissy has no plans to do any interviews at this time. She wishes to maintain her privacy both at work and at home. Chrissy asks that the press not contact her, since she will not be making any comment, and will simply refer everyone to me. Any such contact with Chrissy will be viewed by me as attempted harassment of a potential witness.
I look forward to working with Chrissy Raines and protecting her rights in this very challenging, emotionally tumultuous, high profile case.
