OMG - Michael Peterson is granted a new trial. What a waste of taxpayer's dollars.

Novelist Michael Peterson will get a new trial in the death of his wife because a key investigator misled jurors about the strength of bloodstain evidence, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Peterson was convicted of first-degree murder in the 2001 death of Kathleen Peterson, who was found at the bottom of a bloody staircase in the couple's mansion. Peterson has maintained his wife died in an accidental fall.
Four of Peterson's children were in the front row of the courtroom when the judge announced his decision. He blew them a kiss as several members if the family sobbed with joy.
