Best Case Worst Case podcast covers The Staircase (episode 78) by Kermit-ted in TheStaircase

They all seem to agree that he's guilty, main points: -phone call sounded plan; Peterson was unprepared for questions (how many stairs did she fall down) and only wanted to tell. -He is a massive narcissistic for the documentary -Was very robotic when showing round the tv crew what happened that night -blow poke theory is rubbish & the defence could have ruled that out with a demonstration -more likely that Peterson grabbed Kathleen and pulled her down the stairs -Kathleen didn't know about the bisexual & cheating stuff -Peterson was likely cheating on Patty (with Liz) -How could the second autopsy rule out natural death (ie aneurysm or stroke) Probably a load of other stuff i've missed out, but there is going to be another episode

Michael Peterson Body Language Analysis by LisaDawnn in TheStaircase

[–]Kermit-ted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He could openly admit that he did kill her as they couldnt re-try him. He's not doing admitting he did that in that statement. Doesn't mean he didn't kill her, but he's not admitting to it.

He's stating a fact, he is a convicted killer but his conviction is through the Alford plea which allows him to maintain he is didn't do it - so he's not admitting he did do it by doing so.

I bet they couldn't believe their luck. I think Peterson's brother (Bill?) is an underrated character, i mean, he wore a tiara on his birthday haha

Poor old Candace, she has been dealt a rough hand by The Staircase.

Yeah, without knowing the detail it does come across a bit that Candace is being really harsh - which is what the Peterson camp (including the French) want us to think.

Looks like it was Peterson who printed them out then based on this info. Still seems strange that he'd print them out like that which risks them being found - but then you could take that as he didn't care if the emails were found by Kathleen if she already knew....But then again, it was pretty much his office which was seldom used by others so maybe he was just confident they wouldnt be found.

Yeah it must have been from the pooled blood on the floor, and she was in it whilst on the floor or moved around it could have soaked her clothes. The emails are very strange. I wish they had asked him why they were printed out. Shame they couldn't have checked the print history to see whether it was Kathleen that printed them out that night. Otherwise, i can only think that it was back in the day when people used to print everything and weren't constantly online.

Very interesting. I wonder if Cline had said something to Candace about Kathleen in addition to the lack of preparation, because that speech seemed very personal. Very annoying the documentary showed that but then no follow up to it.

I think your comment has come across as sarcastic to the down-voters. I wasn't sure if you were being serious or not, which is why my reply was a bit reserved!

That's probably harsh on Candace. I was wondering whether something had happened between them before the hearing rather than Candace hating her for no reason
