Yes he's pathetic. Spending 18 years in jail for a crime you didn't commit could do that to a person. |
Oh come on. He was pretty pathetic before. Burned a cat alive. Burglary. Certainly doesn't merit a false conviction, but I'm not shedding tears for him. |
That's exactly why he was a perfect target for the police (twice). I'm sorry, but something is wrong with you if you won't shed tears for a human being who spent his life in prison for a crime or crimes he didn't commit. |

Just finished the final episode. I basically shook my head the entire time.
The police officers find the key when those very officers were told not to step foot on the Avery property or participate in the investigation?! The pin prick in Avery's blood sample vial?! No blood anywhere in Avery's home?! How if her throat was slit?! And, Dassey's "defense"? What a freaking joke? His "lawyer" and that "defense investigator" should rot in hell. At the absolute very least, Brendan Dassey deserves a new trial...in a different state. Oh, I found the prosecuter so slimy from the very beginning. Smug and self satisfied. Thank you to whomever linked to the People article...that guy is pure scum. |
+1. I finished it Friday and still can't shake my disgust. The vial of blood deserves more attention, imo. Why did this not illicit an investigation of its own. Obviously the box was tampered with. It struck me as odd how her Teresa's brother responded in the first episode. And I thought the video of her talking about death was entirely creepy. I don't feel like either family was well served by this. Just deplorable. |
Hmm, I actually thought this part was a bit misleading, even though I think Avery was framed. Unless the lab does things differently than the numerous labs that I work with, the hole is normal. What was NOT normal was the evidence seal on the box being broken. |
But didn't they check with whoever processed it (labcorp or whatever) that it wasn't the way they processed vials? |
Nah. Do you cry about every injustice in the world? I doubt it. This guy tortured an animal and threatened to kill his ex wife and children. I don't want him unjustly imprisoned, but he doesn't tug my heart strings. |
Yes, I know that is what they said but unless the lab has some way of processing samples that is different than the majority of labs, there would be a hole. I still think Avery was framed, I just think some aspects of the show were misleading - the vial, and then also the manner in which they portrayed his earlier incident with the cat. |
| I wonder if he really did do it but then the cops planted evidence because they didn't have enough. But I'm only on episode 6. The one thing I found hilariously implausible was when the one cop said he wasn't sure the DNA evidence from the first conviction was legit. I mean, doesn't anyone think anyone associated with the Averys would have the ability to plant fake DNA evidence? |
Yes - that was ridiculous. And then they get all insulted to be accused of planting fake evidence when they clearly have the means and motive. |
| What happened to the nephew is tragic-- I hope he (the nephew) and his current lawyers have success with their federal appeal. |
Agree. That was by far the most disturbing part of the whole documentary. That kid didn't stand a chance. He absolutely deserves a new trial. I was really impressed by Avery's defense lawyers. They seemed to be really smart (not that it did him any good). |
That is what I think, as well. He had something to do with the murder or her death, not the nephew or "his" story though. Maybe someone found the car during an illegal search and had to figure out some way to draw attention to it. |
Totally agree. I am shocked by the people I know personally making disgusting facebook comments on the case like this. Just because people don't have the same social graces who cares what happens to them?!? These are the same people I am finding so abhorrent on political issues. Scary |
