Making a Murderer

   I recently binge watched Making a Murderer on Netflix.  Yep all ten episodes.  What makes the documentary so fascinating — and hopefully you’re already aware of this — is that Avery had previously spent 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
    I was convinced of a few things, that the justice system in Manitowod County Wisconsin is corrupt. I also am sure that they wanted to see Steven Avery back in prison.
Steven Avery is currently serving a life sentence for the gruesome murder of Theresa Halbach.
    Halbach was a photographer who went to his house to take pictures of an auto he was going to list in the Auto Trader magazine.  Her remains were found  on his property. 

Here are some basic things I know right now:

• Parts of Halbach’s body were found burned in Avery’s fire pit.
• Evidence of Avery’s involvement was found inside his home.
• There is DNA evidence tying the bullet found in the Avery garage to Halbach.
• Avery was the last known person to see Halbach alive.
• Police found her car, with blood on it and in it, left on the Avery family’s lot.
• Avery’s high-school age cousin, Brendan Dassey, confessed that he had assisted his uncle in murder of Halbach.

   Now, to believe Avery is innocent, a person must believe that an impossible number of conspiracies: for starters, the placing of the car, the blood, the body, the keys, and all other evidence. The cover up would have included two DAs and a large group of cops in two police departments. And while it’s not improssible that some of those involved might be morally capable of setting up Avery, It is doubtful at least to me.
I highly recommend this documentary, It is riveting.
