In 2001, Kathleen Peterson was found dead at the bottom of the stairs in the North Carolina home she shared with her husband, the novelist Michael Peterson. Shortly after, Peterson was charged with first-degree murder. The original true crime documentary, The Staircase is the remarkable story of the trial of Peterson and the result of filmmaker Jean-Xavier de Lestrade’s vision for a new style of crime reporting.
