For your scenario to be plausible, 30-40 people from two different prosecutor's offices, multiple police forces, ballistics experts, forensic examiners and detectives would have all been in a scripted frame effort to set Avery up. Possible, yes

Actually I would have to say impossible. It's funny when these type of "documentaries" (and I use that term loosely) come up and the most illogical people come out of the woodworks.

I have to admit I have not watched this particular show but this reminds me of the hooplah after the first season of Serial. Oh that guy didn't do it because of exhibit A. And then exhibit A was basically something that hinged on "why would a killer do something as stupid as...". Them you see people say "well if he did kill her he would have bleached this or hidden that". The problem is they sit behind their keyboards and think rationally for a few minutes about how they would have corrected an error a murderer did.

Two things: hindsight is 20/20 and in the heat of the moment shite gets overlooked. That's how most people get caught. Then you also have to consider that maybe a murderer isn't in their right mind at the time but that's another discussion.

Then exhibit A is used to basically convict the police and their handling of the case. NONE of which exonerates the accused.

It's a flawed logic. P leads to Q and not Q leads to Not P, but it goes no other way. In fact, logically whether or not the cops did a good job doesn't negate a person of guilt. Only in the legal system can technicalities get a person off and make them "not guilty" but in logic land that doesn't fly.

That's why just because the cops fricked up doesn't mean Avery didn't kill this woman. It doesn't mean Aman didn't kill his ex girlfriend (Serial reference, and because a cop said the N word doesn't mean OJ didn't cut Nicole's throat ear to ear.
