The Staircase Aftershow - Chapter 2: Secrets and Lies

In Chapter 2: Secrets and Lies we look at the role bad character evidence can play in a trial. In Peterson's case the prosecution made the most tenuous of links between Peterson's sexuality and a motive to commit murder. The prosecution's theory was pretty speculative and it was way prejudicial. But maybe that is what the prosecution was counting on.

We also look at the initial stages of trial preparation - identifying the facts, testing your presentation, and getting your client ready to testify. 

And Peterson also comes to the realization: the poor don't stand a chance in the justice system.
