A New Trial for Michael Peterson
By Amber Nimocks and Frank Stasio
Yesterday, Durham Judge Orlando Hudson granted convicted murderer Michael Peterson a new trial. In 2003, Peterson was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his wife. The judge granted the new trial due to questions raised about the credibility of State Bureau of Investigation agent Duane Deaver, who presented evidence against Peterson. Deaver, and others in the SBI crime lab, have been investigated for misconduct and faulty science.
- Host Frank Stasio talks with News & Observer reporter Joseph Neff about the Peterson case and the wide-ranging effects of the investigation of the SBI lab.
