This has been covered a lot in prior threads, but calling the Staircase a documentary is generous. I remember watching it and thinking that there had to be more to the story. I mean, the prosecution presented evidence and testimony for months, but that got maybe 3 minutes of airtime, so I looked into it myself. They left out huge pieces of evidence that favored guilt including the fact that the police found bloody footprints that matched the defendants shoes that lead from the body to the laundry room. They could only see them with under black light because someone had wiped them up. Oh, and Peterson was shoeless when they arrived, and those shoes that he had taken off had the soles cleaned, but still had spots of blood on them.
They also left out info on the blowpoke found by the Peterson family much later. They did an investigation into it found out michael Peterson had called around to places in the northeast looking for an antique blowpoke. In fact, a month before it was “found” by the son in the garage, Peterson’s credit card had a payment from an antique shop in like Vermont where someone using his credit card bought an antique blowpoke.
And that is just few of many facts that were egregiously absent from the “documentary,” but a guy being clearly guilty doesn’t make for a good story. It also probably didn’t help the film makers objectivity that one of the producers started dating Peterson right after filming.
There was definitely bad science going on and some awful/immoral police work done by that one investigator, but Peterson absolutely killed his wife.

quote:was there ever any evidence that the blowpoke was the murder weapon or was that just something that the prosecution latched onto as a theory?
