re: Making a Murderer - Part 2

Does that bother you?

Cool. It shouldn’t.

In season one they mentioned the insurance companies ruled they wouldn't cover the potential 36 million lawsuit because of the sheriff departments shenanigans. This is a HUGE motive for framing Avery because a judgment of that size would have bankrupted such a small community. I am on the fence on guilt or innocence, but the bit about the insurance companies denying the claims should have been attacked vigorously n the trial.

Second Avery settled for 400k so that he could hire quality legal representation at a murder investigation and trial mired by the county's relentless participation in the face of extreme conflicts of interest.

I added the pertinent information that you conveniently omitted.

I finished season 2 and still think he likely did it.



I dont think anyone can any for sure either way.

Did Bobby Dassey have a criminal record prior to the time the murder took place? And I can't remember how old he would have been at the time? He had some sick shite on his computer, but you usually don't go straight to mutilation and murder. You generally work your way up to it right? There are ordinarily warning signs before it escalates. Maybe he was torturing animals that we didn't know about or something. I don't know. Also wonder if he has been arrested since all of this took place, and what the charges are? If he did it, doesn't seem like that kind of person would just stop there.

I'm convinced someone on that property killed Theresa. The prosecution definitely didn't do a good job of convincing me it was Steve. But he did have a past record of at least one crime that I would term a stepping stone to an eventual murder. I think he's the most likely to be prone to commit the crime, but don't think I could have found him guilty on the evidence presented.

I enjoyed the show, even though it got painfully slow at times. It was more about the deterioration of the family than anything. Especially the parents and Brendan's mom.

Given the fact that TH left Avery salvage after she took pictures of the vehicle for SA, how in the world could SA have done it?

Was it ever proven she left? I thought that was just a theory by Zellner? It was a vey plausible scenario, I'll give you that.

I love how you always go straight for my comments. But they didn't set him up the first time. It was bad police work and a faulty witness id. The woman picked him out of a line up and testified against him in court. It doesn't excuse them, cause he was obviously not involved. But it doesn't give him a get out of jail card for life..

I don't think "bad police work" accurately describes the nonsense that happened during his first conviction. The dude has a friggin framed sketch of Avery. It's disgusting.
