The brother of Drew Peterson's third wife says his conviction is "a very long time in coming." Nick Savio spoke to reporters Thursday afternoon outside the Will County courthouse in Joliet after jurors convicted Peterson in Kathleen Savio's 2004 death. Nick Savio said at least he knows his sister will get justice and although they can't have her back "we hope she can rest in peace." Nick Savio also said he hopes Kathleen Savio's sons "never forget their mom."
