I wonder if this is at all relevant to the timing of Zellner's (expected) mic drop in two weeks. nm - Dignan Aug 12, 14:15
Crap. Now we got to get this guy convicted again. Somebody start gathering "evidence". -- nm - Manitowoc police Aug 12, 13:49
I think this is a good thing...I think. (spoilers) - Mel Profit Aug 12, 13:31
I have to watch this show. Didn't pay attention closely, but got the sense it was a "bad conviction, but likely the right guy" scenario. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 12, 13:28 22
- With respect to Brendan, it's not the right guy. With respect to Avery, it's very questionable if it's the right guy. -- nm - pmb Aug 12, 13:44
- I see that thinking as more likely for Steven Avery. Brendan Dassey seemed like a kid who was bullied and manipulated into confessing... - Inigo Aug 12, 13:31
- Not sure they got the right guy(s) at all. You need to see it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:29 18
  - i'm not sure Steve is innocent, but it didn't happen the way they said it did. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 13:31 17
    - I will admit that there's a chance Steve killed her but the evidence just isn't there. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:38 8
      - there's more than was there in the show though.. again, i'm not saying he DID do it, but i am not saying he didn't either. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 13:39 7
        
        The "big" piece of evidence excluded from the show was Avery DNA found on Halbach's RAV4. - Dignan Aug 12, 14:04
        
        I listened to the Real Crime podcast that went more in depth with the case so I'm not just basing this on the doc. - Krusty Aug 12, 13:43
        
        but if he did, it almost certainly didn't happen the way the state contended it did at trial -- nm - gerald Aug 12, 13:42 4
        
        One of the things that was always suspect about this though, was that Avery was not tried on the same theory of the case that Dassey was. They did - pmb Aug 12, 13:53 2
        
        Is that legal? I assume it is and from what I know of the Law from LnO. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 12, 14:04 1
        
        They were tried separately with different juries. It is legal. It's sleazy, but legal. However, I wonder if Brendan Dassey's confession was used as - pmb Aug 12, 14:10
        
        oh, it did not happen in that garage. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 13:43
    - as one of his lawyers said..."I almost hope he's guilty" (spoilers) - Mel Profit Aug 12, 13:37 1
      - So word to this. That line was perfect. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:45
    - I believe it's come out since that Steve was very stalkery with the victim. - Inigo Aug 12, 13:35 4
      - right, there is definitely stuff they glossed over in the doc. - Andie Aug 12, 13:37 3
        
        They also really glossed over other potential theories and perpetrators though (presumably to avoid lawsuits). But Bobby Dassey could have a lot of - pmb Aug 12, 14:02 2
        
        so much unanswered. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 14:15 1
        
        Yeah. Hopefully more keeps coming out and we eventually get the truth. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 12, 14:17
    - this is my take as well. -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:35
- i don't think you can say even that much from the evidence, compared to the state's theory of the case -- nm - gerald Aug 12, 13:29
That makes me happy. Watching him get convicted broke my heart. -- nm - Inigo Aug 12, 13:26 3
- it scares me that he had absolutely no one looking out for him (spoilers) - Mel Profit Aug 12, 13:34
- Very much so. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:30
- it was so awful. -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:27
Wowsers! - Krusty Aug 12, 13:25
wow! -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:24
Wow! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 13:24
whoa -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 13:23
