Are there anymore docs like this on Netflix? I already finished this, Evil Genius, and Making a Murderer.

my girl and i watched this a few weeks back. We started it off like oh this nikka did this. but seeing how the detective came in and wanted to immeadiatly say he murdered her. to the prosecution constantly juelzin had me thinking otherwise. as someone else said here i think the case in germany shoudlve been admissable as he was never convicted of anythign there so it is essentially heresay.

now with that said idk if he did do it or didnt do it. everything from the defense to the prosecution doesnt add up. But i will say as i watched this and you could look into his eyes i didnt get the vibe of someone who killed someone or someone who even coudl potentially do it. not htat im expert. Regardless i dont think he shouldve been in jail there was no where near enough evidence to put him there. and its so wrong to put someone who maybe innocent away. but the court system is just made for the prosecution to take a W no matter who is on the other end. no matter if its the right or wrong person. i woudlve loved to hear moreof that narrative because they tried everything to stack the cards.

whats everyones thought on kathleens sisters. somethign about them and their daughter didnt sit right with me jsut as something about the family as a whoel didnt sit right with me

One thing the documentary leaves out is that they were actually hurting for money. he hadn't made a dime in a few years, and she was making bread for the entire house, including the kids, who had amassed 6 figures worth of credit card debt. She had a 1.4 million dollar life insurance policy, and she divorced her first husband for infidelity. Personally I think she probably found out he was sleeping around and threatened to divorce him, and/or he wanted the insurance money, and probably killed her.

He had a really hard time paying the legal fees and I don't think the lawyer ending up getting everything he charged. The lawyer definitely got around 500k. Peterson sold a property he and his wife owned for 200k and the lawyer got that, and he worked out some deal where his brother was able to get him 300k in legal fees, and the brother got paid back with money from the sale of Peterson's house.

Peterson definitely didn't have an easy time paying it. Without Kathleen he was broke, and a lot of their assets were tied up and not liquid, and they owed a lot of money. I've read in a few places the final bill for the legal fees was close to 900k.

Well this interesting because I honestly though Peterson was made of money, when the lawyer guy was like this is going to cost $700000, Peterson didn't flinch. And the all the children went to college, the son went to Duke which is not cheap.


I haven't read through all of this thread, but the owl theory seems like bullshyt, micro feathers (:comeon:), ol'girl was coming down the stair not going up, so where the fukk did this bird come from, and where did it go, especially in that big ass house? How could it find a door?

As far as him deleting porn off his computer, guess what brehs? You and I are going to be doing that same shyt. I don't want my porn choices to affect how people look at me the court of law. He knew that would be fukken embarrassing and obviously the gay shyt is something he didn't want to get out.

Now as far as if he did it, obviously the film is bias toward him, but I am a scientific person and look at the science presented in this case, and like that Asian guy said, "the blood always tells a story". If he was hitting her with the blowpoke then like the guy said there would be blood spatter on the ceilings (or at least up high) when he pulls the blowpoke to hit her again. I mean those steps look kind of slippery and she had alcohol and xanax in her system.

When the head is cut it bleeds alot, so I wasn't surprised by the amount of blood.



If you guys like this type of crime shows, you should watch HBO the Jinx, which is the GOAT as far crime documentaries.

Yo, the show Trial & Error spoofed the shyt out of the Staircase. Gay lovers, previous suspect deaths, a fukking owl :ohhh:

The first season of Trial & Error came out a year before Netflix released the Staircase :ohhh:

So this shyt happened like 3 miles from my house growing up, and I was in high school when this happened, so I remember it pretty vividly. What I find disappointing about this documentary series is how biased it is. Peterson is dating the editor of the documentary right now, because they fell in love making the series. The series straight up leaves a lot of shyt out that rightfully makes Peterson look worse. I think if people just see this documentary that they'll probably walk away thinking he's innocent.

I'm happy to go into more details, but basically I think he's guilty, although I don't think the prosecution did a good enough job of convincing the jurt that he did, and I would've had reasonable doubt, so I would have likely voted not guilty.

Or maybe an owl did it

This Owl Theory is the most ridiculous shyt I've ever heard. Let's just say for the sake of argument she did get attacked by an owl...that's not like a mosquito bite you brush off. :skip: If a fukking owl attacked someone, they're not frantically running up a flight of stairs bleeding everywhere. They're gonna be screaming bloody murder and making their way to whoever is with them. Not to mention there's gonna be some owl feathers lying around after the struggle. I can't believe someone had the audacity to propose that. :skip:

I've watched about ten episodes and I'm tapping out now. I would have voted to convict even if the prosecution didn't present their case as well as possible. I just would not be able to overlook that woman having seven lacerations on her head from a "fall down the stairs." It just doesn't add up. I also think the incident in Germany was relevant. The circumstances are too similar and I'm just of the belief that the simplest solution is often the correct one.

Peterson's whole demeanor was off too. Everything felt like a performance. There was nothing sincere about him.

If Kathleen left her previous husband because of infidelity, she certainly would not have been OK with Michael fukking MEN behind her back. It's pretty easy to see her finding out that evening, intending to divorce, then him panicking and killing her to keep the money, especially with the life insurance payout.

I've seen people in this thread say the kids knew about his "bi-sexuality." They didn't know until after Kathleen's death. It was very odd how they reacted indifferent to the news. That's a fukking bombshell after that incident and knowing she left her previous husband because of cheating.

Like you, I didn't understand why the prosecution never mentioned the missing part of top of the blow poke. I also couldn't believe Michael was on tape saying his son Todd was willing to get rid of the blow poke after they "found" it. :mindblown: I thought he was in on it while watching. :jbhmm:
