Yeah, I am frustrated with the choices that the documentary makers chose to make. The documentary is blatantly biased, and the most frustrating thing about it is that even if they'd included all of the information listed in the article above, it wouldn't have undermined their narrative that Avery got dicked out of a…

Wasn't it presented in the documentary? I thought they said that the bullet only showed up after Dassey's testimony, well after the garage had been searched multiple times and officers came up with nothing, so I think most people discounted it.

Yeah, I can suspend my disbelief enough to buy a decent amount of the prosecution's case against Avery, but where it fails is that they're claiming a guy who apparently was diligent enough to do a superhuman-level clean-up (and then put his fingerprints/DNA back all over everything to make it look like he hadn't…

I think the show pretty definitively proves that the murder didn't take place in either the garage or the bedroom. There's just no explanation where either of those theories make sense—you couldn't clean up all Halbach's blood and still end up with all of your own DNA all over the place in the time frame allotted.

I think people are making too big of a deal out of that particular point. The ex says he was with several other people (one of them might have been the brother, given that he gained access to her voicemail, but I'm not sure about that) when they tried to gain access to Teresa's cell phone records. It's not like he was…

He's reached the stage in his career where, for his publishers, getting the book out as soon as possible trumps getting a great, readable book out, so editing is cut to the bare minimum.

Oh, definitely. I think a much better predictor for whether or not a celebrity "gets away with" abusive behavior than the race of the perpetrator is the amount of power he holds relative to the victims. Kelly went after victims who were black, young, poor, not famous—basically hitting all the buttons for things…

She told her boss that the last time she went she was creeped out by the towel thing. That doesn't mean she was terrified or anything, but she made it clear she was uncomfortable with the situation, and they still sent her back into it.

I mean . . . this is a case where one side is arguing that police framed him for crimes he didn't commit not just once but twice, and where the other side is arguing that shortly before a guy came into $36 million dollars, give or take, he decided it was a good time to rape and murder someone. (And leave the car…

And if Teresa was so completely sketched out by seeing him in a towel, why on earth would she agree to go out to that property again, knowing she would be dealing directly with Steven?

Yeah, the documentary was definitely not unbiased, but everything he mentions above was at least touched on, and some of it was explored in depth.

If Halbach was afraid of Steven Avery and he knew that, he might have, say, tried to pass himself off as one of his brothers (who actually owned the place) and implied that Steven himself wouldn't be there.

That may be part of it, but the impression I get is that Andrea Constand really did not enjoy being back in the public eye of this case (she's never really made public statements about it, she didn't appear in the New York magazine profile with the majority of the victims, etc.) and had to be talked into doing it. If…

The impression I get is that the new DA is going forward with the case on the basis of the argument that even if the victim took the pills/drank voluntarily, she was then no longer in a legal position to consent. (Cosby admits the sex took place but claims it was consensual. For whatever it's worth, the victim is a…

1) There would only be a double standard if the situations were directly comparable, which they aren't. There are all kinds of differences in the cases, and people tend to react differently based on those various nuances.
2) Almost everybody on this website who finds Cosby's behavior reprehensible also finds Polanski's…

It's almost as if the root of misogyny is insecurity . . .

I agree that anybody who strongly believes Avery is guilty probably isn't watching it, but I also don't think the majority of people who were familiar with the case strongly believed he was guilty—it was just that the majority of stuff that this documentary touches on was either never really covered in the news or…

I can't remember the exact episode, but it was definitely toward the end of the series. This post suggests episode ten?

I get that the "fake name" was not actually fake—that's why I put it in quotes. I specifically said that there are reasonable explanations for most of the less-than-flattering statements regarding Avery in that article, so I'm not sure why you're assuming I haven't read them?

If Avery had died, the lawsuit might have been temporarily derailed, but eventually his family would have picked it up again after his death, and they likely would have gotten the money that was supposed to go to him. That wouldn't have helped the police—they needed to make sure the lawsuit was dropped entirely.
