He totally did it. I loved the Staircase even though it was long as hell (I get it since it was expanded as the case went on). I’ve never seen the defense preparation for one of these murder trials so it was fascinating. Also watching Michael Peterson be a complete sociopath the entire show acting like he was a character in a tv show or something, omg. His faux intellectual personality and pretending it was egregious to think he did it, OMG! So fucking insane. And to think how crazy and confident you are that you are guilty and go and film the entire trial. A total narcissist. Men are insane

He's so creepy. I watched without knowing the case, so I thought that with that legal team he wouldn't get convicted, whether he was guilty or not.

The BBC podcast included a lot that was left out of the Netflix show (that was edited by the woman who became Michael’s gf!!!)
The main thing for me was the time between leaving her on the patio and the time she died. It was hours!!!
Plus it was the first time she used the home computer and found his escort hiring emails ( he never told her he was bisexual!), then there was the debts of his sons and they were also in financial trouble

what's the name of the podcast?

[su_metal]

pls next time add "i like polls" to your polls, t.hanks

[frejasface]

lol. Every poll on ONTD should just have a button that says, "I just wanna vote."

Uh, Trial & Error already is the fictionalized version of The Staircase, so this is unnecessary.

I loved this show! I was so sad they cancelled it, I wish they'd bring it back.

[milkradio]

lol this show

Remind me to never date a guy with the last name Peterson, jfc.

I wasn't aware of this Peterson tbh though.

[frejasface]

whew, it's a doozy.

[blanchedavidian]

Honestly that last name is CURSED

I don't know, tbh. The documentary was soo biased. I'd like a proper list of all the evidence. Is it possible that it was an accident? Is there evidence of someone attacking her? I'd rule out the owl attack. The husband had such a good legal team, I'm surprised he was condemned.
Will Colin Firth keep the gallows humor like John Lithgow?

[mila_s_garden]

It'd even be more believable that he killed her with a stuffed owl xD

Seriously
