"Even if I wanted to watch I don't have cable."

Good lord, are all the people in Wisconsin gifted with the IQ of Brendan (which, BTW, if you watched the documentary, you'd know was ~70)? You're just repeating the version of events police/DA Kratz told the TV news - and which you accepted as fact - but was never corroborated by other evidence.

I understand. I was just responding with reasoning that the filmmakers might have used when deciding to exclude this information. Some of it is worthy of further scrutiny.

Well, I perhaps overstated when I wrote "tear up the concrete floor of the garage". They only tore up the part of the concrete that ran along a large crack in Avery's garage floor to look for blood that might have seeped down the crack. Here is a screen cap from the doc:

The problem is that the allegations you mention here (which are not in the doc) are either hearsay (i.e. as yet unsourced to factual documents), contradicted by the collected evidence, or unsubstantiated by anything other than Brendan's dubious "confession":

I think the majority of people believe Avery was wrongly convicted - which is quite different from "innocent". Or are you someone that believes, as Kratz, the sleazebag DA, said in court, "Reasonable doubt is for innocent people"? A strangely Catch-22 phrase, to say the least.

"They could easily argue he was angry with them and that he pulled a gun on an officer. It's literally the oldest way for cops to get rid of people they don't like."

"I presumed that when Halbach was reported missing, the details of her car, and its license plate were filed. The office could've been calling to verify the information was correct."

Can you name just one piece of evidence against Avery that can be accepted as actually credible without a huge amount of logistical and logical contortion?

I don't agree. The Sheriff's comment was not only outrageous, it wasn't true.

It's even worse than that. The prosecution's "story" (which was repeated to TV news reporters over and over to tabloid effect) is so full of holes as to be untenable. Supposedly, Halbach was stabbed and had her throat cut in Avery's trailer on his bed on Oct 31st, and yet when police questioned Avery on Nov.3rd - then…

Well, the defense attorneys mentioned that Colburn and Lenk had been deposed in the $36M lawsuit, but keep in mind, the filmmakers had 10 years to piece together all of the various bits of data (depositions, video clips, phone calls, etc), while the defense attorneys had just a few months.

Having now finished the documentary, I see it was much worse than I originally imagined.

" There is supposedly evidence against him that was not shown in the documentary, specifically that he called Teresa Halbach several times on the day of the murder, and that he requested she be the one to come to his house."

I never claimed to be an expert nor did I declare someone as innocent.

There are just so many holes in this case: Avery burns the body on Oct 31st, but then doesn't get rid of the obvious chunks of bone and cell phone that are left in his fire pit, even though he has 5 days before the car is found? The whole thing is a sham.

Extremely unlikely that she would have a phone with GPS in 2005. The first commercially-available GPS phone wasn't released until 1999, and I think they were quite expensive until the iPhone (introduced in 2007).

"Steven Avery is not Adnan Syed."

I (and others) have tried to explain to this nitwit that it's a rural area with very few cell towers (I've driven through Manitowoc county many times). He appears to be operating under the delusion that your GPS location is available anytime/anywhere via a cell tower ping to your phone. I imagine he also carries an…

Yes. Unfortunately, as someone that has had to spend a lot of time in Wisconsin (and very near to the Manitowoc area), the intelligence level of many of the rural folk is pretty abysmal. Also, Wisconsin is number 1 in states with a population greater than 2 million in DUIs per capita - and usually in the top 5 states…
