Essentially, what you saw was a defense-funded "trial package" tweaked for an entertainment audience. The omitted a significant portion of the evidence pointing to Avery's guilt. They spun the story heavily to the defense side.

Most of what they "omitted" was not nearly as bad as spun in retrospect. For instance, the preposterous talking point that he "tricked her" by using his sister's name. That's the car he was selling. Or that he "asked for her specifically". Yes, she was the rep for that region, and they had dealt with each other in past sales. etc. etc.

Regardless, all I have to know to understand that Wisconsin "justice" is outrageous is that, at the appeal for the kid, his defense attorney ADMITTED TO WORKING IN SERVICE OF THE PROSECUTION...and yet the kid still sits in prison.

ultimately, i watched it less as guilt vs innocence but as a commentary on the conduct that happened.

i wont claim to know what happened. id venture the guess that he did. but i dont like the conduct of the police/prosecutor.

i think thats a pretty fair takeaway (and lens to view it through)
