“The first thing I said to myself when I found out drew was arrested was, well there goes my summer.”
“Judge Schoenstedt who heard the weapons charge and also ordered the property returned to Drew has
a reputation in Will County and beyond as being an extremely fair, a very thoughtful judge,
evenhanded. He did not rule all in our favor. We got ruled against plenty by him in procedural things.
He certainly wasn't pro one side or the other and he's a chief judge in the criminal division of that
County and for the State's Attorney to say that he's prejudiced was quite shocking but he did and now
we have two changes of judges that we can do and we're trying to decide whether or not we want to
exercise those. It's one of those things - once it's done, it's done. There's an old saying, if you try to
assassinate the king, you better not miss. We'd hate to ask for a change of judges and get somebody
who's a little less lenient.”
