In chapter five, the prosecution presents its case... and produces the murder weapon. Oscar®-winning documentary filmmaker Jean-Xavier de Lestrade chronicles the sensational story of North Carolina author Michael Peterson, who stood trial in 2003 for the murder of his wife. Granted unusual access to Peterson's lawyers and his immediate family, de Lestrade presents a gripping look at a high-profile murder trial from the inside.
