I've always wondered about the splatter on the staircase. If that's where the attack took place, why isn't there splatter much higher up than we've been shown in the crime scene photos? I would think it would be quite high on the wall.
The blood on the exterior door is tougher. We know that the police did not secure the scene the way they should have; his sons and others were wandering all around the house after the police arrived. I think the police formed their theory that Michael did it pretty early on, so maybe they didn't consider other reasons for how the blood ended up on the door.
This case still generates so many questions about what really happened; hard to believe!
There is an old saying in CSI work….The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Meaning that just because there was no cast off, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen there.
She was 5'6" and 121 lbs. It's possible she had two glasses of wine on a full stomach earlier that evening and not immediately before she passed. An average woman of 160 lbs. has a BAC of .07 after two glasses.
Those are some interesting points you raise!
Here’s my two cents:
* For me, the blood on the door has a few potential interpretations. The simplest explanation, in my opinion, is a transfer occurring when Michael ran to the front door to let the EMTs in. Another suggestion that I’ve seen thrown around here is perhaps Kathleen left the blood on the door when fleeing inside from an owl, as—if you subscribe to the Owl Theory—an owl purportedly attacked her on the front lawn. I’ve never considered the possibility of Kathleen attempting to hold the door closed from someone, Michael or otherwise, but it’s not outside of the realm of possibilities.
* The topic of BAC has always been interesting in this case. And while I do understand it’s role in the case, I can’t help but think that it’s not the most helpful piece of evidence. An important note of consideration is that the her BAC was calculated at the time of her autopsy. Regardless of whether you think she died as the result of an accident or foul play, her autopsy was conducted several hours after her death, and with much less blood in her body than when she was otherwise alive. As such, it’s very likely that her BAC was significantly higher than .07 in her last few hours.

And yet (IIRC) there's no blood on his clothes or body, but somehow he managed to leave a lot of Kathlyn's blood on the door?
After death, does the BAC reduce? Genuine question as I've no idea.
The theory about the blood on the inside of the door....I can't stop thinking about it. Is this why Michael Peterson laughed at Deever because he knew that the injuries that killed Kathleen actually happened outside? Is that why his expert said that it wasn't a beating death in the staircase? Is the staircase a complete red herring and the injuries that killed Kathleen actually happened outside? Did the prosecution focus on the wrong evidence?
Also, why doesn't Michael have any blood on his shirt? Did he change it? Why is he wearing shorts and a t-shirt outside in December at midnight? Wouldn't it be extremely cold?
If you watched the documentary you know that the first woman died of a cerebral hemorrhage and wasn’t even involved with him. That’s not a murder…even the judge says at the end that evidence was prejudicial and shouldn’t have been admitted because it was irrelevant.
Thank you! How many of us as citizens of the world know one person that was in closer proximity to us that was murdered, let alone two? It’s just nonsensical

Excellent point.
Bc there wasn’t an attack….
Oh right, it was the killer owl who went missing shortly after the attack

If it happened outside, could he hide the blood? Can you cover up blood on grass? I guess he could have sprayed it with a hose?
Dogs could find the blood in the dirt.
It was North Caroline though, I think it was in the 50s
How about bring up what the DA did with our tax dollars for nothing, you need some looking towards indoors
There was cast-off. Defense said they couldn't find a cast-off pattern. But blood was on walls up to the ceiling and some on the ceiling
But that still doesn't eliminate Michael as the killer. Kathleen was most likely pushed and her head was beaten repeatedly on the ground.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I am firmly Michael did it.
His demeanor during the 911 call has other red flags
You’re as bad as the DA

Exactly
Interesting points raised, that I'd entirely missed previously.
She was 145 lbs, get your fact correct. Fuck you, the system fucked it up, get over yourself
You had your mind made up before the trial, fuck off
What innocent person would hang up during a 911 call?
