This was the worst part for us as well. I'm 100% convinced he had nothing to do with any of it, or at least not knowingly.

Kid has a mom dumber than him that cannot even help. Just got to the blood vial of Steven's blood. Holy shite at it being tampered with and haphazardly taped back up

Does anyone have a link to the Reddit thread with theories etc?

I can only find episode commentary that is good, but doesn't have much information or speculation.

He had that shite smurk every time he talked to the media and I wanted to punch the TV

Is it just 20/20 hindsight, or do you think best practices would have reasonably expected the judge to issue a gag order in a case with so much baggage (as opposed to letting the DA have that tawdry press conference telling the horror story of Brendan's coerced confession - i.e. the rape, throat-cutting, etc.)?


Some of that is 20/20 hindsight. I mean, those press conferences happened long before there was even a case to present. You can't stuff the cat back in the bag, so to say. And banning lawyers from talking to the media is a pretty extreme step, and one that would be absolutely illegal in Texas due to the open courts provision (I can't comment on Wisconsin's constitution).

But a jury instruction would have been appropriate. And note how Kratz tries to hold the court hostage by only agreeing to drop the bogus charges IF the court does not issue a jury instruction.

Avery was guilty, guilty, guilty.

It is defense attorney's job to create confusion and convince people of alternatives.

He never explained how who beside Avery killed the lady, who put the car on the Avery property but Avery, who but Avery obsessed with the lady, how Avery's FRESH blood got in the car, who the bones of the lady ended up in Avery's bon fire, why Avery did not come to the defense of his nephew, why Avery was such a psychopath that he burned cats and messed with his cousin. None of that. The entire defense was they cops were out to get Avery.

Does anyone buy into the ultimate thing that had to have happened for the defense to be right---the cops would have had to committed the murder.

The judge specifically told the defense they couldn't propose alternatives culpable of the crime. This was in the documentary.

It's the defenses job to show reasonable doubt. The documentary highlights that reasonable doubt.

Are you insinuating that cops don't murder people?

Didn't read the whole thread yet, so my question was probably answered but:

Did they say the place of the actual murder was different for the two trials (Steve was in bedroom and Brenden was in garage?)If he stabbed and slit her throat while she was on the bed, I have a hard time believing those fellas could cover up all that blood. Overall I enjoyed the doc, got me hooked and I didn't want to stop watching.

Steve might be guilty but defense created a reasonable doubt, Brenden got a raw deal. Also never trust a lawyer that has a tie with short sleeve shirt, high water pants and looks like Rick Moranis/William H Macy combo. Dark haired reporter with glasses was

She could have overdosed on heroin on a rural street. She could've been murdered by the ex-boyfriend or roommate. Why were they logging into her phone and probably deleting voice mails anyway? Once the cops had Avery as the immediate suspect and kicked him off his property for 8 days, it became a perfect opportunity for someone to go put that evidence in.

Yes. One could argue according to several parameters that the 2 guilty verdicts should have been mutually impossible.

Not really his job, but he was not permitted to name other suspects anyway.

quote:

It was a big lot. Anyone could have put her car there.

quote:

who but Avery obsessed with the lady


It was never established that Avery was obsessed with the lady.

quote:

how Avery's FRESH blood got in the car


This was certainly never established.

quote:

who the bones of the lady ended up in Avery's bon fire,


That was not the only place the (burnt) bones were found. They were moved without a doubt.
