i do think that it was creepy two women fell down the stairs


and the fact the DA dug up the body of the other woman

smh

They reclassified the friend's death as a homicide. I absolutely think he did it.

Google says: "Did Kathleen Peterson have owl feathers in her hand?
Additionally, a microscopic owl feather was found in Kathleen's hand during the post-mortem, entangled within strands of her own hair, suggesting she may have struggled to wrestle the animal from her head."

A microscopic owl feather could easily have been picked up casually while she was lounging outside.

I am fairly convinced by the owl theory! The expert from the first trial was a stone cold liar. Bizarre coincidence to be sure but I don’t know where he could have hidden his bloody clothes or footprints.

Adding that I saw a picture (since the trial) of a dog with wounds from a barred owl attack and they were pretty similar to Kathleen person’s wounds.

+1 Doubt it would have been microscopic if she had been attacked and was tussling with it.

I don’t have HBO anymore, so I won’t be watching the series. But I’ve seen the documentary and if I were on that jury, I would not have convicted him. The state did not prove its case. I’m not sure if he killed her, but I have reasonable doubt.

One thing I never understood is why they were unable or chose not to examine the computer files. Shouldn’t there be metadata that tells us if the supposedly damning files they’re talking about were opened that night or not? Their theory was she found old emails or something revealing his bisexuality, they fought, and he killed her. OK, so show me the proof these files were opened that night or recently. Prove to me she was on that computer.

I believe that they did look and they were not accessed that night.

He definitely might have done it but I think there is reasonable doubt (and the prosecution was also really homophobic in tone.)

NBC did a mockumentary based upon this case called Trial and Error with John Lithgow. It was fantastic.

Wouldn't there be lots of feathers??

I followed this case years ago when it first happened. This was back when I used to get a paper delivered to my house every day, and this story was news. I was convinced he was guilty. I haven't watched this show or the Netflix documentary. I don't know if it would change my mind.

It sure seems like he killed her but,
Other sources indicate the weirdness of the lacerations which really do seem consistent with an owl attack.
It's bizarre but, people have been killed in weirder ways.

I'm watching the most recent episode now and the defense drives home the fact that none of the typical things that go along with blunt force trauma to the head were found in this case...essentially just cuts on her scalp. That +owl feathers and I am convinced. Imagine getting attached by an owl when you are drunk and on meds and then attempting to go up those tiny stairs?

I saw the Netflix documentary & was convinced that he was responsible for the death of his wife.

Something just seemed fishy.

I have not watched this HBO version yet.

The “owl” theory is just weird to me.

I feel like both of those women dead at the bottom of the stairs, plus the fact that the first one was deemed a brain aneurysm when it wasn't... it's just too much of a "coincidence."
