Agreed. I was very glad when Jerry Buting refuted the claim from Girl Voice that the jury would have to buy a killer cop scenario. Even if that's true, without the evidence to support it then the claim just muddies the framing too much.

They could call it Two Guys, A Girl, and a Detective Agency.

Unless the defense has actual proof they can file into evidence, maybe it runs the risk of leaving the State open to charges of slander?

This is the part that doesn't make sense to me, why do the cops have had to kill Halbach in order for Avery to be innocent and for them to have framed him? Someone else — her ex, her roommate, one of her brothers, Bobby Dassey, some random nutjob — could have killed her and all the cops needed to do, once they found…

They showed a map at one point. The quarry looked to be few miles from Avery's "compound" (as some media genius put it), only requiring a few roads to get from point A to point B. The "Janda burn barrel", wherever that was, was closer and maybe on or very near the Avery property itself? If you triangulated their…

"He's legally and morally responsible, but he isn't evil incarnate like his uncle. So, not guilty, right? Let's plea deal!" What a dumb asshole.

Indeed. For as incredulous as some of those reporters seemed when hearing Kratz's explanations during press conferences, the news anchors behind their desks seemed to eat it all up.

Since they weren't tried together, all the prosecution has to do is convince each jury independently that the defendant committed the crime(s) they're accused of, and juries aren't supposed to use outside information, like another trial's outcome, to determine their findings, just what's presented at the trial their…

True, Spencer goofed at the beginning pretty hard, but he rebounded from that and only Savage, I think, would hold that against him at this point. I thought he did will with his mea culpas at the FTC, enough to justify voting for him based on the good moves he made. Especially in light of Jeremy trusting Kimmi beyond…

I disagree Spencer was there entirely by luck. He initiated the Fishbach vote and if he hadn't, it was only a matter of time before Fishbach targeted him instead (they fill the same role in their alliances with Jeremy). I think Tasha played a great game, too, maybe better than Spencer's. But MOST of the people playing…

She may not have been as popular as Jeremy, but she was never targeted, not once, post-Savage blindside until the very end. She was clearly doing something right. Considering it was her question that prompted Jeremy to finally reveal his full family situation, it's entirely possible he never would have brought it up…

"Jeremy, if you vote Wentworth out tonight, it'll be a home run touchdown. But if you vote me out tonight, it's gonna be a football in the groin!"

It's interesting, because I think with the final four we had, we were always going to get a strong final three. The only way it would have been stronger would be to replace Tasha with Wentworth, but that wasn't going to happen since the latter wanted (rightly) Spencer gone. So, Tasha still would have been shut out and…

Up until that speech and the reveal that Jeremy won unanimously, I had been thinking that only Wentworth had a real shot to win with that jury. Based on the last few tribals, I think she could have picked up votes from Kimmi and Keith, and likely from Ciera and Abi due to their relationships earlier in the game. So,…

"It isn’t until the show cuts to Jeff at the reunion show—complete with
player board and a marker to lay out exactly what went down—that it
becomes even remotely clear what actually happened."

How does it keep up with the news like that?

I just finished a re-watch of season 17 last night, and my God is that a terrible season. So many unlikable people and very few actual players. Even as much as I like the winner, he's a non-entity until almost the very end. It does suffer coming on the heels of China and Fans vs. Favorites, but it would be pretty lame…

I think Jackie Brown is the one Tarantino likes least, or dislikes that so many people (and there are a lot) who say it's his best film. Probably because it's not his original idea, but he's giving himself too little credit there. It's as much a spin on 70s blaxploitation as it is an accurate adaptation of Elmore…

Tarantino isn't your wind-up toy.

Who knew Taylor Swift was an A7X fan?
