The Staircase Aftershow - Chapter 5: A Weak Case

from The Docket Hosted by Michael Spratt and Emilie Taman

In Chapter 5: A Weak Case we finally get to the good stuff - the trial. Michael Peterson's lawyer David Rudolf dismantles the prosecutions case and the defence calls into question the integrity of the evidence - a fact that impacts the validity of any blood spatter analysis. Then we meet Dwayne Deavers - the State's blood spatter expert. Except Deavers fudged his experiments and seeming had a hand in a exculpitory report that was never given to Peterson. It is amazing to see Rudolf map-out and then execute his cross-examinations. The witnesses never see it coming - until 257 medical reports in a dozen binders are dropped on their lap. Oh - the media is still terrible and the lawyers still have not learned to standup when asking questions.
