Three episodes into Staircase. Do they address why this is being filmed?

I vaguely remember Peterson saying he contacted the people about filming. So people would know how it really works for these type of trials.

Or I could have made that up.

It’s a high profile case that was covered pretty closely. It’s been on 60 minutes, 48 hours, dateline, hell im pretty sure Lifetime made a movie about it. It checks a lot of boxes when it comes to enticing viewers.

Wealthy, secretly gay or bisexual, questionable motives, previous issues etc. A lot of the stuff that I thought I knew I didn’t know.

I had know idea nearly 17 years ago it would be the circus it turned into.

One thing that struck me about this case is the easiest lie in the world for him would be to say that his wife was OK with his promiscuity. She wasn't there to say otherwise and nobody else seemed to even be aware of that side of him, so who is going to say otherwise? The doc never showed him make that claim. If he's just a liar to his core, why didn't he lie about that? Maybe there were emails to escorts that indicated his wife was not cool with it?

I thought the last episode Peterson said his wife knew and was ok with it but they rarely ever talked about it.

Or are you talking about during the actual trial?

Yeah during the trial, but i did miss what you are talking about. I got sick of all the coverage of him and the family outside of the trial and skipped a lot of that ****.

I think the prosecution’s thought process was partly set on that her ex husband had not been faithful to her before and why would she now accept her current husband having extramarital affairs with men.

I admit there is a lot of doubt here, at least capable in a jury’s eyes. To me though, there are too many boxes that can be checked as guilty rather than not guilty. Overwhelmingly. But overwhelming things don’t always stand up.

Pretty sure he did make that claim and the doc didn’t cover it. The doc was made to make him look innocent.

How do you mean? Because I don't think any one of us came away from that show thinking he's innocent. Or do you mean they left specific, incriminating things out?

Yeah. He even had a romantic relationship with one of the editors of the movie.

I think he’d look more guilty if the show was 50/50 prosecution/defense.

I dunno SBI's incompetence was unbelievable. I don't believe that was slanted at all. Dever or whatever his name is was a tool.

Are we talking about the same show lol? SBI was the agency that did all the blood analysis for the prosecution.

They purposely did not do specific tests and slanted the recreations to get the results they wanted.

Ok?

Similar to making a murderer. Lousy prosecution doesn’t make the defendant less guilty.

The doc was shot in a way to make Petersen look less guilty.

Ok so how do you think he killed her? Pushed her down the stairs and then strangled her?

You suspect this or you have specific examples of how they did this?

Also, three cheers for the judge. Nobody's perfect, but when have you ever heard a judge in one of these cases admit fault? It didn't appear that the film-makers put him on the spot, he just voluntarily shared his feelings of regret.

BTW, did anybody else look into Cline and see how her term as DA ended? Pretty crazy.

I actually thought the documentary did very well at covering the trial without showing much bias. I mean only following and interviewing Peterson's side would make it slanted automatically in my mind.

Her facial expressions made me laugh. I am going to look her up now.

That’s my opinion mostly. Google it and you’ll see I’m not alone. And one of the editors 100% had a romantic relationship with him. The director spoke on it.

Edit: also just in general I felt like the final few episodes were filmed as though he was innocent.

I thought the blow poke was a mistake from the beginning by the prosecution. They married themselves to that and they overlooked it. Also no way in hell that Peterson didn’t know it was sitting in the basement the whole time. That was planned.
