What about due process and procedure for Avery?
Meh. Avery had outstanding representation - some of the best I've seen.

How was that not - alone - enough to throw out the conviction?
Because the case was not investigated perfectly? Because there were irregularities? You don't think the jury was presented with all of that by Avery's excellent representation?
I just reject the notion the jury are children and can't handle big boy issues. Avery and Brendan got vastly different treatment "by the system" - yeah, the cops were out to get Avery, but he knew the system inside and out. This is why he fired that public defender and lawyered up for real.
It happens. Like I mentioned earlier (either this thread or another Avery thread) - there was a literal trail of blood leading from the Brown/Goldman murder scene to O.J.'s bedroom. The jury chose to acquit on "non-evidentiary" reasons. It was wrong, but that's the system.
In the Avery case, they got the right guy. It is what it is.

Doctoring the evidence seems to me to be a clear violation of due process.

How does that impact that slimy behavior of the prosecutor? I don't even agree that the nominal change of venue met due process standards. The jury was absolutely unduly influenced OUTSIDE the courtroom by that lurid, grotesque press conference given by the prosecutor which was just a horror-movie fantasy of his.

Because of evidence tampering. That's not an "irregularity".
