The staircase Peterson shouldn't have been convicted. They didn't present enough evidence to say he did it beyond reasonable doubt.

And there was so much frickery that went on in that whole trial. The blood spatter dude who faked tons of reports in tons of cases. Nobody finding the fire poker/blower thing until halfway through the trial. Just so much shady shite going on in that one.

Michael Peterson absolutely killed his wife. This has been covered a lot in prior threads, but if you are only using the Staircase to come to a conclusion than you are severely misinformed. 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 luminol because someone had wiped them up. Peterson was shoeless when they arrived, and the shoes that he had taken off were in the laundry room. They the soles were freshly cleaned, but still had spots of blood on the top of them.

They also found that he had recently poured bottles of wine down the sink in an effort to say that she drank them and was drunk, contrary to her BAC.

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 has to seem like a tossup or at least a miscarriage of justice to be compelling. The director had that in the prior documentary he did and tried to manufacture it with Peterson. 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.

Michael Peterson is terrible. He used his wife, lived off her ability to earn, then killed her when she found out about his *ahem* alternative lifestyle. Just like he coincidentally killed the other woman via a staircase.

I personally do not think there is any evidence that should have convicted Scott Peterson. Yea he's a pos as far as a husband goes but that doesn't make you a murderer

---

So you think the guy is innocent? His change of appearance and intent to flee was just a nervous reaction then?
Wow there's a Scott Peterson cult in this group. What have you guys been watching?

Just accept the fact that the guy had a love affair, fantasized about living a new life with his new lover and snapped when probably confronted by his wife. Watch the Chris Watts story, they are all the same narcissistic sociopaths.

Scott Peterson fricked this guys wife...and didn't kill his own

So you're saying Amber Frey's husband killed Laci?

He didn't flee. Have you researched this case at all or just listen to the media bullshite ? He was playing golf with his
dad and brother and the media found him there so he left. The money he had on him was money his sister gave him back for a loan something days prior so he could help pay his lawyers. He dyed his hair to try and avoid media that was literally camped out in his front yard 24/7 for weeks harassing him. This was a huge story and he couldn't take a piss without the media watching.

More than you apparently. There isn't one single shred of evidence linking him to her murder. He got convicted by public perception point blank.

Detectives in this case, as in most cases, were the absolute drizzling shits. That's what I gather from most true crime documentaries. There was a serial killer in the Seattle area. Police did frick all and couldn't find their own arse with 2 hands and a map. Then when DNA finally popped him decades later, the lead detective had the balls to say to the perp, "Got you motherfricker." Bitch...you got nothing. A computer got him.

In the Scott Peterson case, they zeroed in on him way to early, and moved Heaven and Earth to convict. I honestly believe they found the body (wife and child), and planted it where they knew he was that day...just because they were in too deep and couldn't say "we screwed up trying to hang this guy, while the real killer got away." I'm sure this happens in a lot of cases like this without hard evidence.
