I am under the weather.

Yes, you heard me correctly, I am under the weather, because today, an innocent is in front of you, with his pain, just because he is the ideal suspect : first, he is the husband and then, he is the one who discovered the victim.

This is enough ?

Your honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury, opposing counsel, my name is Manon, representing Michael Peterson in this action.

In this case, it is necessary to begin at the beginning.

Kathleen and Michael Peterson were a lovely and knowing couple.

All their entourage could confirm that : they found themselves.

After her ex-husband brutally left her, Kathleen was destroyed, and that is understandable, isn't it ?

Her daughter, Caitlin, assure that Michael was a saviour for her mother, he archieved to give smile and hapiness again to her.

They lived a perfect love, without any cloud on the horizon.

You have to remark the rarity of this kind of relationship, no one who found this would want to change it.

The night of December, 9th 2001 was a dark and horrible night, for Kathleen as much as Michael.

This night, she lost her life and he lost a big part of his life too.

Michael was in the patio with his dogs, like practically all the evening, because the couple loved talking and sharing a lot of things : they could pass several hours over there, just for pleasure to be together.

Kathleen came back in the house this evening and when Michael came home, he attended to a sad and shocked scene.

He found his wife at the bottom of the stairs, in a pool of blood.

Indeed, Kathleen was falling down stairs, and after have regain consciousness, she wanted to pick herself up but she sliped because of blood and her hand banged the banister several times.

It is important to specify that Kathleen had 0,7 grams of alcohol in her blood, and she taked some Valium, that explain maybe why she felt and why it was so difficult for her to pick herself up.

Mariage imply to be here through thick and thin.

So, even if he was totally terrifyed, Michael had the good reflex, he called the 911.

Anybody was a basket case in this situation.

In front of this bitter pill, the most important for him at this moment was to save his wife, he hoped that he splited a whistle.

Sadly, it was too late and she succumbed to her injuries.

You will hear the recording of the call to 911, you will see photos of the stairs, and some experts that will explain to you why it was a simple accident, including Henry Lee, a forensic scientist.

The evidence will show that the place of marks of blood are totally illogical with the murder theory.

Moreover, the facts will prive that it is impossible to find a reason for Mr Peterson to kill his wife.

So, yes, I am under the weather, and Mr Peterson is certainly even more so than me. Thank you.
