The Staircase

Is Michael Peterson guilty or not guilty? The jury delivers its verdict regarding the mysterious death of his wife, Kathleen.

Eight years later, the possibility that a key witness for the prosecution may have misled the jury could prompt the need for a new trial.

After more experts testify about the questionable conclusions and claims of Duane Deaver, the judge rules on whether a new trial is necessary.

Following two and a half years of house arrest, Michael must decide whether to push for a plea or risk his freedom with a new trial.

Their faith in the justice system forever shaken, Michael and his family discuss what they can hope to achieve by continuing the fight.

Michael speaks to a reporter about the reasons behind his plea. Later, Kathleen's sister delivers a statement of defiance in court.
