Updated Michael Peterson - The Staircase Case

[exe ex machina]

Did a quick search, didn't find any existing threads. Apologies if there is one.

Was originally charged with her murder, served 8 years, but then on appeal, based on a prosecutor's witness falsifying info, was released.

That last video I posted is excellent. For the guy narrating the video. So well done, briefly outlining everyone's story, how they all met etc, outlining the death, the trial, evidence for and evidence against, discussing a variety of other aspects not often mentioned in crimes, etc....all done concisely and within 20 minutes.

Watched the series. He did it. He killed his first wife too.

He must've thought it's the perfect way to get out of a crime -- a fall down the stairs.

 

[Perth gal]

Well he did get away with it. The whole case was pretty strange.

Good points by Dr Phil and also Peterson....

 

[exe ex machina]

Amateurish video but he raises some good points.




Forensic Files (Netflix) did an episode of this called Novel Idea.

Yeah, that Forensic Files video above is a good one. Evidence contradicts the story, and that is all you need to know. She was murdered for sure.

Watched the Netflix doco a while back, I'm not sure it exonerated him the way he seemed to think it did.

Left a lot of unanswered questions and far too weird coincidences.

Wasn't his first wife.

I really resented the way they tried to make the outraged/grieving sister look like a whacko in the documentary.

Just finished the series. Very very sad for him and his family to lose their wife/mum. And the poor guy has to live with a guilty conviction just so he could get a corrupt system to leave him alone. The whole case was an absolute disgrace. Twice.

The sister is a nutjob b**ch.

The sister being a whacko made the sister look like a whacko!
