Beyond fucked up. They held the trial in a neighboring county but the jury pool came from Manitowoc county because the entire state’s jury pool was biased and contaminated from that press conference by the prosecutor.

All those details you’re haunted by? Those came from the now-disgraced prosecutor, Ken Kratz. He stood in front of the press with Sheriff Pagel the day after Avery’s arrest and told a lurid story about Avery and Dassey raping, torturing, and killing Halbach.

Oh, I don’t know whether or not I think Avery is guilty. But he did get screwed over. And everyone I talked to said his nephew had disabilities and was manipulated, so he got screwed over. And Peggy got screwed over.

Same. I’m so impressed by her attitude about that whole fuck up. That is a classy lady, right there.

One thing that, in my mind, gets lost in discussing this case is this fact.

I’m not totally convinced Avery’s not innocent (although I don’t have much of an opinion one way or another), but I’m also in the “Brendan had nothing to do with it” camp. What happened to that poor kid broke my heart.

there was some light hinting at the ex-boyfriend and also brendan’s older brother & uncle who went hunting that day and gave each other alibis

At this point, if Avery was granted a new trial, no matter where the trial was held it would be biased. He never should have been convicted to begin with and even if you think he committed the murder, the evidence didn’t 100% prove that he did.

Just wanted to offer solidarity, as I am similarly afflicted. The jury stuff is concerning to say the least.mimunderstand the reasoning from the lawyers about not moving the trial, since they thought the people who knew the history may be more understanding. I can’t imagine being in the jury, I would be afraid to…

One person I truly feel bad for in this is Brendan Dassey. This kid was unbelievably failed by those who were supposed to protect him and I do not believe he should be in jail. I hope that if anything comes from this, Brendan gets a shot a new trial.

“Obviously we asked this person, explain what happened, why did you cast your vote for guilty?” continued Demos. “And what they told us was that they feared for their personal safety.”

I am way more upset about the conviction of his retarded nephew and the nephew’s first lawyer being awful. I am unsure if Avery was involved, but I am 100% sure that kid shouldn’t have been interviewed without council, shouldn’t have been tried as an adult, and shouldn’t be in jail now.

Although it’s kinda his own fault, I feel sorry for Lord Disick. First he lost both his parents in a matter of weeks (if I’m not remembering this wrong), and now he basically lost his family. Get it together Scott! Find a good therapist!

This is less “Dirtbag” more “Lint trap”. ;)

I like your simplicity.

Why is the DA trying to appeal the dismissal? This woman has a documented condition. Maybe it's too much Making A Murderer but Jesus Christ can we not just let some innocent people go unscathed by the justice system?

IPA stands for “I Pee Alcohol”?

Miracle Whip

I get it. Humans want to feel connected to something, they feel more comfortable amongst people who look and are like them,. There are websites for Jewish singles, black singles, etc etc I guess why not white singles?
