Michael Peterson: The Staircase

So I just found out from a friend (thank you, NM) that The Staircase got updated segments on Netflix. I had no idea! They are stirring the pot to make people question the justice system. Again. We just went through that with Steven Avery a few years ago.

I am all for questioning facts, wondering what really happened as we do make mistakes in society. Our justice system is not perfect, and any reasonable person would admit that. I am not against this, but the two cases I have seen chosen so far (this and the Avery case) are not ones I would have picked. I also don’t like when shows don’t represent the facts, but put spins on things. I wouldn’t call the Avery’s Making a Murderer a documentary. It was way too misleading. I wonder on the Peterson Netflix series, was it unbiased? Or are they spinning it again? Don’t get me wrong, there were times when questions brought up were legitimate, probably in both cases, but it doesn’t make spins in other areas reasonable.

I haven’t seen the Netflix updates, but spoiler alert, I have written about the Michael Peterson case many times in the past. You can search my blog if you want to know what I think.

I’m curious what you think! Did watching The Staircase make you question if the justice system got it right?
