A story on the Tribune's website Thursday night reported that one of Drew Peterson's attorneys, Joel Brodsky, "spoke to his jailed client on the phone Thursday morning and played him the just-released online trailer of the upcoming Lifetime movie Drew Peterson: Untouchable."

"He laughed and said, 'That's hilarious,'" Brodsky said, according to the Tribune.

The Tribune failed to explain how Peterson managed to see the trailer over the phone, or if it was just the dramatic music and single line of dialogue — "I'm untouchable, bitch" — that Peterson found so funny.

If they can't watch Lifetime in the jail, maybe Brodsky can play Peterson the whole movie over his phone.
