Vic: I agree – but the difference in the case(s) you cite here and those of this thread is that no convictions occurred – hence ‘exoneration’ is that of reputation only. Murdering for money does not make sense as Kathleen made good money and had excellent credentials to work anywhere. Why? Why when he came in and looked at her his first thought was she had fallen Down the stairs if you saw someone in that state your first thought would be she had been attacked. Michael or Mike hails from Nashville, Tennessee, the U.S, where he was born. 5. It’s everything and everyone else. Furthermore, Cathleen and MP were not out by the pool that evening because there was never any pool furniture at all! What guilty person would tell the cops she fell down the steps and that bloodbath was the result of just a fall?! “If he was going to kill her why not do it in a less messy fashion?” Sudden rage?
On Nov. 25, 1985, when Michael was living in Germany and married to his first wife, Ratliff turned up dead at the bottom of a staircase — just as Kathleen Peterson did 16 years later. Team Michael also furnished a fireplace blow poke they said they found in the house. You want to believe in the justice system, but look at the climate we live in today. Required fields are marked *. It’s not been shown his evidence affected trials’ outcomes to the disadvantage of defendants. Michael told Dr. Phil McGraw that medical reports confirmed Liz Ratliff died of a stroke. Things got worse when Kathleen was found dead on the bottom of the staircase in their home in 2001 just after it emerged she was going to be laid off from her well-paying job. My heart goes out to both sides of the family. Currently, Rudolf is in “occasional” contact with Peterson since his 2017 release. Things for him dint go as planned after it emerged that he was lying about how he earned his purple heart medal. Are you people serious??? Watch his eyes & facial expressions. Karen, So what about the owl? There was clearly blood splatter from the beating on the walls and on the risers of the stairs. I imagine that the proportion wrongly convicted per misconduct is a small fraction of this number. Michael and Kathleen married in 1997. Police believed it was a fireplace blow poke that someone took outside to hide, leaving bloodstains on the door. His height is 1.78 m tall, and his weight is 68 kg. Studies estimate that in US between 2.3 and 5% of all prisoners are innocent: https://web.archive.org/web/20141110182624/http://www.innocenceproject.org/Content/How_many_innocent_people_are_there_in_prison.php. He was caustic and sarcastic and mean sometimes,” Rudolf said. Oh, and one more little thing: Investigators found thousands of gay male porn images and hookup conversations on Michael’s computer. “Logic where sexual proclivities and knowing someone who died at the bottom of the stairs must lead to being guilty of murder do not make sense.” – the guilt is based on the evidence of the crime. The allegation it got stuck in her hair is ridiculous. No amount of fishy officials/expert witnesses can change the actual physical and blood evidence. As an aside, it would appear possible, if unlikely, that the only but serious (and sometimes fatal) injury from a stair fall is head – particularly if propelled by a push, such as to avoid the ‘bump, bump’ on the way down. Kathleen was dead by the time first responders got there. I remember this case very well. The attempted excuse that an owl did it shows what kind of lies occurred. to get me found guilty the police investigator committed perjury, perverted the course of justice and failed to disclose evidence that would of acquitted me. Plenty of perps are convicted on circumstantial evidence alone; and that was persuasive in this case. It must be very distressing being falsely accused of a sex crime. According to Power, Privilege, and Justice, which produced a 2004 episode about the case titled “Murder He Wrote,” Peterson went upstairs to work on the computer while police were still on the murder scene. Those who effectively choose to represent themselves do indeed have a fool for a client… The comment the above was made in response to is breathtakingly foolish for the obvious fact that some are proven to be wrongly convicted of the worst crimes, including because of what they said – or were coerced into saying – to police that a competent lawyer would have prevented or advised against. Friends of Liz Ratliff, who lived on the same German military base as Michael and his first wife, testified about the bloodiness of the scene of her demise. By then, one of Michael’s books, A Time for War, had made its way onto the New York Times bestseller list and generated enough cash to pay for the Colonial Revival-style house containing the now-famous staircase. Extremely regrettably the innocent are sometimes convicted – sometimes with the malfeasance of the police and/or prosecutor, though many more who are guilty are likely acquitted (or never indicted in the first place) – not that that makes anything better for the innocent. I have several observations. (I don’t argue it in this case, but there’s plenty of online info about such falls causing fatal brain injury and negligible other injury, inc propulsion caused by children playing and not intending injury). However Margaret is spitting image of Michael??? I’ve asked this before: if not accidental, which is the MORE likely: he did it (esp given the circumstantial evidence) or the owl did? Getting off on a technically, being found not guilty by a jury or judge, does not mean or mitigate the fact that one committed the crime. Well what about the defence team taking the time to do the same, if it meant in any way to profit MP. But public interest in the case didn’t really explode until the following year, when Netflix expanded and updated a documentary by French director Jean-Xavier de Lestrade to create a 13-part bingefest called The Staircase.
