I assume most have been peer pressured into having an opinion on this... So what's your craic? If you haven't seen "Making A Murderer", I suggest you avoid this thread!
I haven't seen or heard of it but having read this thread thus far I feel very disappointed and now that I know what I do know from reading this thread then I am compelled to go and avoid it!
However, I have decided to vote and as we are on the NUFC board where 95% of NUFC fans think there is some sort of conspiracy going on around our wonderful club I have followed suit and voted for conspiracy! Damn these murderers! Bring back hanging!
Just finished watching, trial was unfair, evidence was cooked and even that evidence is barely proving guilt. The key was found by local police that weren't meant to be at the property and found on the 7th/8th search. No blood in the bedroom, he clearly wouldn't have put the body back in the car...there's so much more that simply doesn't add up. A massive, massive injustice and horrible to think he'll likely never get out after already serving 18 years of a crime he didn't commit.
Apparently they left out (of the Doc) that he was constantly phoning her (some times with a voice changing thing) and answered the door in a towel on a few occasions too. And he set a cat on fire so he can **** off anyway!
My thoughts exactly The documentary must be taken with a pinch of salt to some degree, as apparently the blood vial was opened in accordance with both council previously, and the hole made when the nurse injected the blood into the vial (bloody could still potentially be taken out etc). Against, we have a deposed cop, who was involved in the first case, finding the key in the middle of the floor on the 7th search, the key DNA result match should have been scratched due to contamination, the bullet found months after the initial search of the house, the Rav 4 mysertious location hidden (barely) by sticks, when a crusher is readily on site (also the person who found it took 30 minutes to find the car, on a site with thousands of cars, and just so happened to be the only searcher given a camera, lest she find something), no fingerprints in the car, yet blood from Avery, two witnesses who also had access to the site corroborate each other weirdly, phone transcripts between Jordi and Avery are logged at 5.30 and 9pm, supposedly a couple of hours after the killings. The burnt bones were apparently moved, no blood in the house at all, and apparently the disabled nephew, who confessed he and Avery killed her, was interviewed alone several times and it's obvious he is incredibly suggestible. We also have the fact voicemails were deleted after her death, which would have required Avery knowing the password, a password her ex "guessed" to obtain phone records, and yet no other lines of investigation were taken by police. The two witnesses who corroborated each other dos place the woman at his house, as do the phone calls, and Jodi has subsequently said she thinks he did kill Teresa and that she felt intimidated by Avery, who apparently was abusive and threatened to kill her throughout their relationship, to say nice stuff about him. He was in prison when she made most of the comments though
His DNA was on the key but hers wasn't, he's innocent. No denying he's a strange bloke and has done some silly things, but he didn't commit this crime IMO.
It's the midwest. The average IQ is sub 100. No one in the court room understood the evidence was presented, the FBI expert couldn't understand his own test, what he says, assuming what he ought to know given the position he holds/held his testimony amounts to perjury. The woman who ran the crime lab.. my word. Guilty or not the trial was a farce, but the real outrage are the appeal courts that deliberately ignored the error made in the main trial. The press conference was enough to justify a mistrial. American justice system is a farce. The jury system is a farce. If you enjoy this kind of thing and have the time, watch "the Staircase", it's a similarly 8 episode documentary about a guy accused of murdering his wife. I think even the judge would have to recognise the key was tampared with, and as such all evidence gathered from the same site would have to be thrown out.
