(and my responses)

DOUBTS

Michael Peterson

The missing weapon
isn't missing and it wasn't used for murder
Yeah, I love Law &
Order, too. It's my favorite show! |

There is no credible
Motive -- and you don't just decide to kill your wife for no
reason
Evil isn't required
to provide a motive. Peterson's alibi is missing and it's still missing. |

Michael and Kathleen
Peterson were happily married with no history of violence -- and spousal
abuse generally doesn't start with murder
Once upon a time,
in a beautiful fairyland, far, far away ... |

Michael Peterson's
grief and shock was sincere -- and no one who was there
disagreed
I'd like to thank
the Academy... |

Kathleen Peterson's
injuries are not consistent with a beating No skull fractures + No other fractures + No traumatic brain injury = No Beating
10,000 blood drops
+ 3 up the shorts + 10,000 on Elizabeth Ratliff's wall =
LWOPP

The blood stain
evidence is not consistent with a beating and the State's witnesses don't
disagree
The blood stain evidence
is consistent with a bad horror movie and no witnesses disagree. |

The information
and documentation from the scene is not reliable. Garbage in -- Garbage out
...
True. Let's ask the
only other person who was there during the killing. Todd? |
3 |
The State relied
on junk science and ignored the limitations of good
science
The defense relied
on PowerPoint cartoon shows and ignored the reality of RED NEURONS |
2 |
The State has
relied on emotion, guess and conjecture.
The defense has relied
on hidden evidence, mud-slinging and the dead victim's money. |

State investigators
suffered from "tunnel vision":
Not unlike
"Michael-Vision":
