Bloodstain spatter expert Duane Deaver's testimony helped put author Michael Peterson behind bars. But, when it was revealed that he was negligent and lied on the stand, Peterson got a new trial.
The director of the Netflix docu-series "The Staircase" confirmed that Sophie Brunet, the film's editor, fell in love with Michael Peterson while working on a film about his wife's death and his murder trial.
She was the first woman in Michael Peterson's life found dead at the bottom of a staircase, and featured in the aptly titled Netflix series "The Staircase."
