There’s a big difference! I do believe that Mike was covering up for his son!!!! He started dating a widow Elizabeth Ratliff, but after two years, she died in what was ruled out as a staircase accident. Flawed justice however. I have several observations.
There was so much undisclosed evidence and information that it should have been thrown out. It must be satisfying to know you know better than the jury. What guilty person would tell the cops she fell down the steps and that bloodbath was the result of just a fall?! Got through one episode of The Staircase with my father, a former crime reporter. Michael Ivor Peterson graduated from Duke University, where he was editor of the school newspaper, then joined the Marines and earned silver and bronze stars for service in Vietnam. Furthermore, Cathleen and MP were not out by the pool that evening because there was never any pool furniture at all! Furthermore, Peterson took an Alford plea – which at face value means that he accepts that there was sufficient evidence to convict notwithstanding his denial.
There are almost certainly more than we know of, but the nature of the situation is that that is speculation. The second trial was offered to resolve the question – something naysayers seem to forget- and you know what P’s response was. Are his kids so confident in his innocence that they let gram pa babysit? There was something strange about him. Reasonable doubt means that there must be clear and convincing evidence of what the person has done. North Carolina released Michael Peterson on bond in 2011. She had been drinking and was wearing floppy shoes, so she probably tripped, Michael told police. The defence does the best they can in professing his innocence.
I agree , but I think that the whole thing is about the police department / so called detectives because they were so ignorant in my personal opinion a bunch of crooked fame seeking morons ! Control freak-Michael wants control. By all reports, Michael and Kathleen enjoyed a close, happy marriage and were sought-after guests on the local social scene. Plus with the things he wrote in some of his books, yeah…he’s guilty. We can only base claims of wrongfulness and/or misconduct on cases shown to have been such. Deaver was clearly bent (no pun) and unreliable.
are so prolific for the family. We are not sleazy, we are not drunks, we don’t sell our clients out," Rudolf said.
Everything was too weird and unexplained. Michael Peterson looks broken. Being born on 23 October  1943, Michael Peterson is 77 years old as of today’s date 3rd November 2020. He’s highly likely to be guilty. I watched the series and couldn’t see where anyone thought he was guilty. Why him pre-occupied with deleting emails on his PC while the police were around is baffling if he had just found his wife dead. He is an egomaniac & narcissistic. So how do you call Mr. Petersen a criminal when the investigators didn’t find finger prints or anything associated with the said person?? Todd Peterson, 25, was at the house when the police came but refused to talk to them, according to Forensic Files. He was caustic and sarcastic and mean sometimes,” Rudolf said. Forensic expert Henry Lee gave a live in-court splatter demonstration to refute some of the blood evidence against Michael. Before the murder case, Michael Peterson’s net worth was over $2 million, and he had a substantial amount in his life insurance. They defence didn’t ask for DNA testing, because they may not have liked what the results may have shown. If the defendant accepts that, perhaps we should…. Call-guy talks. Extremely regrettably the innocent are sometimes convicted – sometimes with the malfeasance of the police and/or prosecutor, though many more who are guilty are likely acquitted (or never indicted in the first place) – not that that makes anything better for the innocent. Nonetheless, all five of Michael’s children believed in his innocence at first. yes marcus i see your point. And this following the discrediting of the prosecution witness you cite, potentially creating a favourable climate for the second trial. wanted a suspect and put it on his shoulders…⦅⦅⦅..
Anyway , it’s just sickening the way that they showed the massive amount of corruption & just how badly that the system is broken ! As to Candace (Kathleen’s sister), if Kathleen could speak from the grave, what would she tell us? After graduating from Duke University, the government of the united states hired Peterson as an analyst. Karen, Could something similar have been done in Peterson’s case (not that I think he’s innocent!). https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tv/netflix-staircase-series-episodes- This still doesn’t mean that Peterson’s innocent. What was he hiding? Good luck in getting you name cleared. Finding Love in an Unexpected Place. He and his first wife, Patricia, were married at the time. The accident scene was a bloodbath — inconsistent with a tumble down the stairs. The docu-series follows Peterson’s trial for the murder of his wife Kathleen, who was found dead at the bottom of their staircase in their Durham, North Carolina home on December 9, 2001 — as well as the aftermath. (I don’t argue it in this case, but there’s plenty of online info about such falls causing fatal brain injury and negligible other injury, inc propulsion caused by children playing and not intending injury). You want to believe in the justice system, but look at the climate we live in today. I don’t understand how they could retry the case when so much was done to the evidence. The owl theory to me makes the most sense. I think the kids were too over the top expressing how great the marriage was. it looks like mr peterson is guilty but someone wins the lottery each week at odds of 14,000,000 to one. I thought for sure he’d be behind bars for good. I feel the same way about the son Mr. Walker. How could the DA show his/her face after all of that foul play? I agree. Had she fainted, say, at the top of the stairs and hit her head as she fell (possibly a number of times), either coming down or hitting the bottom, that could conceivably cause splatter on walls.
Time for a tome. If Dr. Lee comes into your case and says you’re wrong, just give up. The prosecution did a DNA test during the trial and they are not related. What stands out the most to me is the weapon used! Rudolf, sick of negative depictions of criminal defense lawyers, got on board. Your email address will not be published.
In his opinion he is stating what he believes to be right. After graduating, he secured a job with the government in the department of defense, where he was a think tank in matters regarding the war in Vietnam.
