EP2 im like WTF lol
Netflix - "The Staircase" Murder documentary....we back
- Thread starter Silver Surfer
- Start date
I'm only halfway through but the state's case seems really weak. every thing is circumstantial, no murder weapon (blowpoke is all suggestion) no motive, and no brain or skull damage just a lot of blood
defense lawyer is a beast too.

He sounds like he is from New York.
Yep, he at least went to school and worked in New York.

Precise and cold hearted
The photos of her looked like a murder but I'm not so sure he did it.

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

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.

The doc leaves this out but luminol also found bloody footprints between the body and the laundry room, and in the photo of how she was found, you can even see a roll of paper towels beside the body, and that he took his shoes off. I think he tried to clean up the scene and realized he couldn't, and tried to cover his tracks as best as possible. I think the reason he said she was still breathing on the 1st 911 call, then hung up, then called back and said she stopped...was to try to get them to think that's when she died.
It took her 2 hours to die. They went back and checked the weather that night and it was 51 degrees outside, not 55-60 like he said. That's pretty cold to stay outside in shorts and a t-shirt for 2 hours. Also, he said she died in his arms, but there was no blood on his shirt?
I dunno.
warning graphic image of her body as it was found: you can see the paper towels and his removed shoes

I thought his brother Bill was funding the defense the 1st time around.
edit: Okay, I saw that part about Bill in your quote.
Yeah, writers don't make much. Mike had to be leaching off of Kathleen. Was Mike well-known as a novelist?

I don’t think he was very well known but I’m
not too sure.
As someone that made his living with words, I found it strange he Said he would never “admit to killing Kathleen”. He could’ve said “I’ll never say I killed her because I didn’t”. Instead he used the word admit like 3 times in a few sentences. I thought that was strange.

The documentary seemed like it was Pro-Mike. Makes sense, since he agreed to have the film shot from the beginning.
However, some of the quotes about how he had a really bad temper, etc. were never really explored. Or were the investigators just lying about that too?
