Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, presents a gripping courtroom thriller, offering a rare and revealing inside look at a high-profile murder trial. In 2001, author Michael Peterson was arraigned for the murder of his wife Kathleen, whose body was discovered lying in a pool of blood on the stairway of their home. Granted unusual access to Peterson's lawyers, home and immediate family, de Lestrade's cameras capture the defense team as it considers its strategic options. "The staircase" is an engrossing look at contemporary American justice that features more twists than a legal bestseller.陈源拿着从眼镜少年那甲借来的年提刊了十几分钟，才下到五楼，网从五楼的楼梯口出来，陈源就忽然停住了脚步，鼻子噢了噢，噢到一股淡淡的腥臭气息，这股腥臭气，陈源感觉有些熟悉，但一时又想不来在哪儿闻过。
