re: Michael Peterson vs Scott Peterson - did both of them actually do it?

The Michael Peterson case is the subject of a couple of films, including one on HBO Max right now.

The actual documentary (on Netflix) shows the staircase. It's one of those with a bend but no landing, so I could see how an inebriated person could slip on the narrow part and fall hard.

I also think it's weird that the Durham DA wanted to have that other woman's body exhumed in Texas and driven to North Carolina rather than just having forensic pathologists in Texas do the examination. They seemed like they got a lot of media coverage and were under immense pressure to win, and they bent a lot of rules to do it. The Innocence project came down hard on some Durham prosecutors, judges, and police years later - and it wasn't just this case.

I honestly don't know if Michael Peterson did it or not. I think he's a dirt bag who scored a really good, hard working woman as a wife so he can be an unfaithful, lazy piece of shite. But that doesn't make him guilty of murder. Doesn't make him not guilty either. I just have doubts on that case.
