Accident or murder? After the mysterious death of his wife, author Michael Peterson sees his life dissected under the microscope of public opinion.
Oscar-winning documentary director Jean-Xavier of Lestrade presents a court thriller that offers a rare and revealed glimpse into a high-profile murder trial. In 2001, author Michael Peterson was convicted of the murder of his wife Kathleen, whose body was discovered lying in a pool of blood on the staircase of the House. Granted unusual access to Peterson’s lawyers, home and immediate family, his Lestrade cameras capture the defense team, considering his strategic options. “Scale” is an eye-catching look at contemporary American justice that presents more twists than a legal bestseller.
