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.嘤嘤低语着，梅霜寒拔出拥梅剑来一阵舞动，剑气到处地面马上被揭开了一大片形成深坑，随即她小心翼翼的将冰刮着蒙烈的冰块放了进去，然后又挥掌推动泥土填埋了进去。
