Staircase Murder (Kathleen Peterson) | Was Michael Peterson Guilty? | Mental Health & Personality

I wonder if the bird had an “owl”-iby? 😬

"Evidently in medical school, she did not miss the class that covered...owl attacks..." Now that was a hoot...

Dr. Grande does an excellent job of dissecting each case he examines. He obtains adequate history, observing behaviors and provides a case analysis without assumptions or diagnostic information. As a psychologist, I look how he observes each case, almost like an investigation on his part. I’ve been practicing for 26 years and I love to gain knowledge from peers. This how we exceed in our field, learning from one another.

This case truly baffled me and still does. With each episode of the series I kept going back and forth with what I believed based on the facts presented. I’m just grateful I didn’t have to sit on the jury in this one.

How you keep a straight face while obliterating a theory by means of a joke is the next level of shade we all should aspire to mirror

"That owl wasn't going down for the third strike." 😆 I'm dead.

I have another theory. She found his online porn and confronted him about it. He went up the stairs to avoid the confrontation she followed behind him. He flew into a rage because of her questioning him and pushed her down several stairs. The gravity plus the force of him pushing her could have caused the wounds without an actual fracture. He then realized what he did, regretted it and tried to give her aid which caused the blood on him. It's possible he had a moment of "road rage" or "stair rage".

The woman died and her life seemed to be lost within the documentary. I watched it and thought he was guilty, though the prosecution in a case like this or any case where flat out lies are told by the prosecution, should face prison time as well. Peterson loved being filmed and that disgusted me. It was all about him and not Kathleen.

I hate it when I accidentally trip down the stairs and lashings of my blood splatters on the ceiling and all over the walls and I accidentally die.

The Staircase was Michael Peterson's idea to make. This fact often gets lost in the weeds. He commissioned a famous Documentary team to do it. He also had an affair with one of the editors while they were filming. He did this to control the narrative, leaving out and including information as they saw fit. For example, when luminol was used, there were footprints from her body to the Washer / dryer and back, that had been cleaned up before the paramedics arrived. Also, there was a third person, in addition to michael and his son, present at the house when the police / EMTs arrived. The BBC did a great, and comprehensive, dive into this case. It can be found in podcast form called "Beyond Reasonable Doubt?" that is incredibly interesting and sheds light on a myriad of inconsistencies between The Staircase and what actually happened. I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in this case.

What also struck me is that Katheleen’s sister and daughter were convinced he was guilty. It’s almost like they knew something was wrong with him. Also, his own children said something like «I have to believe him » and « I asked him and he said he didn’t do it ». This sounds weird for a normal household. It’s like they had to support him because he’s their dad not because they knew 100% that he couldn’t have done it.

How strange that the son was there and refused to give evidence? He reminds me of Woody Allen who also denied allegations made against him. Very mysterious.

Everybody: is worried about these Asian Killer Hornets. Dr. Grande: hold my Owl.

Plot twist, Michael Peterson trained the owl to kill his wife.

This made me realise that the average jury pool doesn't know what "beyond a reasonable doubt" means nor the meaning of "presumption of innocence"

The way the daughters continued to support their father is a trip. But, it shows how family love can strip down morality. They loved their dad and had cognitive dissonance.

I'm still surprised how you can post this many videos. You are one hard-working man!

I need a whole episode on the owl, please.

The fact that the wounds were so high up on Kathleen’s head made me believe he beat her. I mean she would have had to have landed on the top of her head 4 times. Also as he was being so sad when he made the documentary he was involved with the films editor Sophie Barnet. Also how did his bloody footprint get on the back of her pants when she was laying on her back?

I searched for this video by name. Thank you Todd ☺️ for giving your analysis
