The true story of ‘The Staircase’ - “I didn’t murder my wife”
It’s the infamous murder case which has inspired documentaries, and now a hit drama series, but what’s the real story behind ‘The Staircase’? Back in 2001, Kathleen Peterson was found dead at the bottom of her staircase, and police soon came to believe this was no accident.
Her husband Michael Peterson was later arrested, charged and then jailed for her murder… but 16 years later a judge set him free. Michael, who has always professed his innocence, joined us live in the studio to tell us what really happened on that fateful night.
