Rewatching the series. I definitely believe that Avery is guilty, but it's quite possible that evidence could have been planted to strengthen the case. I think Dassey could've been involved, but it's clear that he was not mentally equipped to be questioned without his lawyer present.
Eh, I don't know. I wish we could get a version of this story that's biased in the other direction, too. That's kinda what made this show only good and not great, IMO.
Yeah, based on his previous behavior, I certainly think he was capable. The cat event, running his cousin off the road, burglary, his ex-girlfriend's claim that he was abusive and threatened to kill her on numerous occasions, Halbach was afraid of him, Halbach's purse and cell phone were found burned on Avery's property, and the evidence presented in the doc. It's just overwhelming, in my eyes. There's really no likely alternative theory that we've seen yet. The doc pushes a narrative that Halbach was murdered somewhere else and her body brought to Avery's property. The evidence just doesn't suggest that. There's too many moving parts in that narrative. You have the random person that kills her, then you have the police finding her body/car, and then you have someone (actual police officers?) moving the crime scene to Avery's house. I stick to Occam's razor in these types of scenarios.
Yeah, I think it's most likely that Avery did it. This one doesn't burn me up as much as Adnan Syed's case.
Looks like Dassey might finally be going free. http://www.stevenaverycase.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DasseyDecision.pdf from PACER Also, this article about attempts for a new trial for SA: http://www.postcrescent.com/story/n...g-evidence-seeking-new-trial-avery/397782001/
Anybody else watch the Laci Peterson doc on tv? I think there’s a greater chance that Scott Peterson is innocent than Steven Avery. And I think the circumstantial stuff points to Scott. But there’s pretty much zero physical evidence in that case. I was definitely open to Avery being innocent while watching Making a Murderer. And yet as I finished it on both viewings, I felt like Avery definitely did it. Before watching this Laci Peterson series, I had never given a second thought to Scott’s guilt. It’s certainly not an open/shut case by the evidence presented.
I guess I need to watch because reading this actually made me angry because I have always felt so strongly against Scott but I'm willing to give this documentary a try
Me too. The evidence against Scott is circumstantial. That’s not to say that it’s weak. He certainly had motive. But I don’t think the prosecution proved that he had opportunity. Their timeline is really messy, especially because half of the witnesses say they saw Laci walking the dog after the next door neighbor returned the leashed wandering dog into the back yard. There’s a good chance she walked the dog after it initially got out of the yard, not before. And that would basically clear Scott since he was on his computer at his warehouse during that time and immediately after has a receipt for the marina.
I just don't think that we can rely on any evidence or lack thereof in a case where it's been widely shown that police tampered with evidence, and sadly because of this, we will never know the real truth.
Potentially huge New suspect? Steven Avery's nephew looked at images of Teresa Halbach and mutilated dead women, lawyers say
No joke, when I was watching the series I always thought that Bobby Dassey was suspicious as hell, and that he would've been my guess for who could've done it that had easy access to the property and all that. This doesn't surprise me at all.
