So your dad is the guy who said about Brendan (a boy that goes to Special Ed classes, appears to have the mental capacity of a 12 year old, can't seem to understand simple premises, and thinks that after he agrees with the police that he raped a shackled female, cut her throat, and burned her body he'll be leaving to…

"A not-too-bright kid…"

This entire fiasco is a serious indictment of the horrible policy in the US of allowing police/district attorneys to release suspect identification and details of the crime and evidence before a trial ever happens. It's how many people, found not guilty at trial, still manage to have their lives ruined simply by being…

Who could have guessed that just 10 days before former Sheriff Kocourek was due to be deposed in the multi-million dollar lawsuit that Manitowoc County was clearly going to lose, the poor, uneducated man that was suing them would commit a heinous crime on his own property and then save crucial bits of inculpatory…

"Particularly against women it seems."

To arrive at your conclusion, one has to first assume he committed the crime, and then work backward from there. Since I don't believe Avery committed the crime, I don't have to dream up a nonsensical motive.

OK, I thought I'd already seen everything there was to know about the SUV being found, but if you insist there is an aspect to it that I've yet to see that would have to be conspiratorial (for the frame to work), I'll accept that and continue watching :)

"But we know for sure which cop called in the SUV"

"As far as my original comment, at least… 4… 5? Manitowoc SD employees had to have been in on it.."

If you say so. I suppose you also believe that the sheriff and prosecutor didn't make it a personal vendetta to convict Avery the first time on the false rape charge. And that the Manitowoc Co. Sheriff's Dept. didn't hide and cover-up the fact that they had knowingly gotten an innocent man convicted.

"Avery did have a history of poor impulse control."

1) 'Might' is the past tense of 'may' (not the other way round)
2) Your use of the word is incorrect if you're using 'may' to state an indisputable fact.

Sorry, but regardless of whether the cops or someone else committed the actual crime, the idea that Avery, a guy that was on the cusp of winning a massive, multi-million dollar civil lawsuit against the police and prosecutor's office - and had no recorded history of sexual or physical violence against women - would…

"…and like a lot of people would have had to have been in on the conspiracy."

Past tense of what, you grammatically backward troll?

Ahh… that it explains it. So you grew up swallowing the stories fed to you by your local news and officials - or you have friends or family in Wisconsin law enforcement. There's no way you could ever be objective about this. You even went so far as to say "He may have been innocent of rape the first time…"

This is the kind of reductive, simplistic logic that gets innocent people convicted all of the time.

"Again, he may have been innocent of rape the first time…"

Let's take it even a step further: what are the odds that he would keep the key PLUS the key is not seen for the first couple of days the police are in control of and searching his property THEN the key is spotted lying in the open by 1 of the ~6 people already deposed (and in potentially serious trouble) over the…
