The Cause of Kathleen Peterson’s Death

Kathleen Peterson was found dead on the 9th of December 2001 at the foot of a stairway, according to reports. Kathleen’s husband, Michael Peterson, reportedly dialed 9-1-1 after finding Kathleen unconscious in their Durham, North Carolina home, according to Wikipedia. He also told the cops that she had to have fallen down the stairs because she had been drinking.

The fatality, however, was eventually determined to be the consequence of blunt force injuries following an autopsy. Michael Peterson was sentenced to life in prison for her murder in 2003. After a prosecution witness was discredited on December 15, 2011, he was given a fresh trial.

In 2017, Michael pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter under the Alford Act. In this instance, the advocate was well-known lawyer David Rudolf. Saved Rounds, The Staircase (2004), The Staircase II: The Last Chance, Power, Privilege & Justice, The Staircase (2022), and others are only a few of the documentary series that have been made around this case.
