The Staircase Murders Part 2: When the Star Witness Turns Out to Be a Fraud
Michael Peterson sat in prison for eight years after being convicted of murdering his wife. The case seemed closed. But then someone started looking into the blood spatter expert who put him there. What they found was a pattern of lies, fabricated evidence, and perjury that spanned dozens of cases. This is Part 2 of the Michael Peterson story, where the conviction unravels, a corrupt forensic analyst gets exposed, and a man has to decide whether to risk another trial or accept a guilty plea for a crime he says he didn't commit.
