ΤHE STAIRCASE

On December 9th, 2001 at 2:41 am the rescue squad of the city of Durham, North Carolina, got an urgent call from a man who has a hard time explaining that his wife has fallen down a flight of stairs. She is bleeding profusely, but is still breathing. When the medical team arrives five minutes later, it’s too late; the woman is dead. Her husband has traces of blood on his hands and face. For the inspector in charge of the inquiry, the facts speak for themselves: there is too much blood, too many wounds on the victim. It is not an accident, but a murder. A week later, Michael Peterson is arrested. Crime or accident?
