I'm surprised this hasn't been posted here yet ....
I just finished the Doc-Series put out by Netflix "Making a Murderer".
The story follows the timeline of a Wisconsin man, Steven Avery, over a span of about 10 years during his battle with the legal system in a small town atmosphere. Steven was wrongly convicted in the early 80's and spent 18 years in Wisconsin prison for an alleged rape. After his release Steven plans on suing the town and sheriffs office that took part in the investigation. During all of these proceedings, Steven is then suspected in the murder of a missing Wisconsin woman, which is where the doc-series picks up.
Steven Avery and his Nephew Brendan Dassey are currently serving life setences in Wisconsin State Prisons for their alleged role in the murder of a the woman, Teresa Halbach. The doc series follows the initial investigation and subsequently the trial of both parties involved in the crimes.
If you have watched it, what are your thoughts?
As for me .... I am under the impression that this guy was railroaded, setup and framed so that he wouldn't have the ability to sink the town and those involved in his wrongful conviction in which he lost 18 years of his life. I understand that the series was geared towards his innocence and that there is always 2 sides to the story but I feel the producers did a pretty good job of presenting all of the major evidence in the case as best they could.
The one item that I still cannot understand is, if this woman was killed as they say she was, shackled to the bed, raped, stabbed, beaten and then her throat slit .... how in the world was there no DNA evidence to support that theory? If someone's throat is slit and they are stabbed as the prosecutuion attests ... there would surely be some sort of DNA evidence left behind and there wasn't!! After nearly 8 months of investigation, the ONLY DNA evidence that connected Avery and Dassey to the murder was a lone bullet found in the garage which contained DNA of the victim?
The doc-series did leave out one piece of evidence that I thought was strange, apparently they found Avery's "sweat DNA" under the hood of the victims car .... not entirely sure that it supports their murder theory but it is odd that it was found. The only thing I can come up with is that maybe she had car troubles while she was there on his property and Avery tried to help her with the problem.
