The Michael Peterson Case

I want the owl theory to be plausible because it makes for a much better story.

@Rock - Is it possible to write a script where every gt post has a bot that automatically responds with this phrase?

I think it would save us time and make the board more efficient.

Sorry you don't have your echo chamber anymore. Have you looked for a board where you can make sure no one reads an opinion you disagree with like the one that failed? This one only lets you make that decision for yourself with the ignore function.

Unless there's a suggestion that the jury was tainted, I don't see any reason to question the verdict. I feel sure they saw all the evidence in excruciating detail that we will never get. I'm gonna put the owl theory in that "anything is possible" and continue to not really give a shit. It would be shocking to me if there was any real injustice and it's antithetical to our country and justice system to second guess our institutions for so little reason.

Yep, her bloodstains inside his shorts was evidence he stood over her and beat her after he pushed her down the stairs.

After the verdict jurors were interviewed by the media. The jury consensus was that their visit to the crime scene in the stairwell made it clear to them that the massive amount of her blood on the wall and ceiling was not due to her slip and fall down some steps in the staircase.

That's my thought as well. I just don't see how a fall down the stairs can cause that much blood and the huge lacerations to her head. Plus, the fire poker being missing helps make the case he hit her with it. I think it's just common sense with all the evidence.

They found a fire poker much later in the investigation. Maybe during the trial. It was in storage and dusty with no signs of blood. No guarantee that it was the fire poker but they would have had to find an identical fire poker that was dusty with no one else finding out.

I think the big reason to question the verdict was the Duane Deaver testimony. He was the sbi's blood spatter expert. He straight up perjured himself. That guy was a terrible person and ruined the lives of some innocent people.

Peterson could still be guilty of course but Deaver's fraudulent testimony was what ultimately got Peterson his appeal.

Not a commentary one way of another on the Peterson case but Deaver royally screwed over a bunch of innocent people over the years. Greg Taylor's story is pretty incredible and maddening.

In Pursuit of Justice tells the story of Greg Taylor. His case proves criminal justice reform is possible.

This documentary tells the story of Greg Taylor, his 17-year long battle to gain his freedom, and of the criminal justice reform that set him free.
