[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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?  [/quote]

I have a friend who wrote a paper about this in law school. I guess a lot of evidence not shown here points to Avery and many people believe the cops planted evidence to seal the deal.  [/quote]

I could see that. It's kind of the only thing that makes sense. [/quote]
How does that make sense at all? If there was enough evidence, the police wouldn't have to plant more. And planting evidence is grossly illegal and unethical in any case. [/quote]

Well, of course none of us knows.  And of course it's entirely possible that the documentary is not a fair representation of the evidence.  But, as a viewer, I think it does make sense that he did it.  I didn't say there was "enough evidence".  I think it's very possible that he did it, and there wasn't enough evidence, and the cops wanted it to be a slam dunk conviction so they (or one of them) planted the key and/or the blood.  So much of what the defense lawyers laid out points to planting evidence.  Why would cops plant evidence if they really thought the guy was guilty?  Because they wanted the conviction.  Lots of guilty people aren't convicted.[/quote]

Oh, and of course planting evidence is illegal/unethical.  Did you think I was saying something to the contrary?  That doesn't mean it didn't happen.[/quote]
Sure. So, for me and my DH, the show is as much about awareness of unethical & unfair law enforcement and prosecution practices as it is about the potential exoneration of a potentially innocent man. That's what we're angry about, and what makes us want to throw our shoes at the TV: people who are supposed to uphold justice getting away with these things. [/quote]

Yeah, of course.  I don't think it happens often, but I'm sure it happens.  [/quote]
