Transcript

00:00I can vividly remember finding Kathleen.

00:19Kathleen Peterson was found dead at the bottom of the couple's staircase.

00:23Peterson's husband is novelist Michael Peterson.

00:25The cop was on me instantly.

00:27There was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.

00:30The injuries are not consistent with the fall down the stairs.

00:33The charge, first-degree murder.

00:38No way in this world my father ever would have hurt Kathleen.

00:42We were like, Dad, we believe you.

00:44He wanted to give the appearance that this was a wholesome, functioning family.

00:52Well, that simply is not true.

00:54Mr. Peterson was bisexual.

00:57I understand you'll want to pump the ratings, but give me a break.

01:02I don't think the D.A. cares about truth anymore.

01:04This has become a show.

01:06The back of the head was struck three times.

01:13Scientists are not supposed to take sides.

01:15The murder case against Michael Peterson doesn't just involve his wife anymore.

01:21It involves a friend who died 18 years ago.

01:25At the bottom of the staircase.

01:28Okay, well, you guys got a much better film now.

01:34They lied, they cheated, they did everything to convict me.

01:37There was clean up by the police.

01:40It shook the foundations of my beliefs in the justice system.

01:43The system is flawed and it needs to change.

01:45This is contamination in the crime scene.

01:48The D.A. is trying to say that our dad killed her mother.

01:52There's no murder weapon, there's no motive.

01:54But we're sitting behind our dad.

01:56It never occurred to Michael Peterson that people wouldn't believe him.

01:59That's really what this is all about.

02:04He thought he'd get away with it.
