“last place I worked was populated by *asshole bullies*

This is WAY too common, describes way too many people’s workplaces. There needs to be some f*cking *anti-asshole legislation*.

I’m almost certain it was an act - I don’t get that emotional when I look at my dad’s urn on my mantel and I knew and loved him so.....

Things that broke my heart:

That’s so scary! My husband has been trying to get a first responders video specifically geared towards autism off the ground for that very reason. People with autism need to be approached and questioned differently to prevent tragedy and so many police/firemen/emts have no idea how to do so safely for everyone

And they said the poor woman was shot in the head!!! You can’t clean that shit up that easily! Neither of them are that smart. They would have found the blood somewhere for god’s sake. And where’s the rope and the chains?

My main takeaway from the series was a quote from Dean Strang near the end of the run where he basically says that the big problem with the criminal justice system (and the one from which all the other problems derive) is the entirely unwarranted sense of certainty that everyone has and the complete lack of any

Thank you. This is exactly what gets me about this crap Pajiba piece, the utter lack of context. Not to mention it’s treating Dassey’s “detailed confession” as somehow notable. What about the detailed story he told the original investigator before his arrest, where he watched TV and then threw some junk at a bonfire

I’m only on ep 3. I don’t know how the kid would have made it home in what had to be blood-SOAKED clothes. He doesn’t seem bright enough to get rid of them, and I’m pretty sure his mom would know if he was missing an outfit. Avery is kinda creepy, but the kid is what is really making me reasonably doubt the whole

Exactly! A slashed throat and a gun shot equal a shit TON of blood and brain matter, yet not a speck was found anywhere. Okay, Kratz. I'm gonna believe you because you said so.

You realize that was an intentional manipulative comment right? He didn't slip up and call her that by accident. He was trying to color the jury's perspective of her. He wanted them to see her as a helpless, vulnerable child to get them riled up and pissed off. (Sidenote: she was helpless and vulnerable - no doubt

People find it hard to hold contrary opinions. It’s the same thing they did with Adnan syed - he’s likable and well spoken and dreamy, he must be innocent. You can be a likable, well spoken murderer! (Just like you can be a garbage person who sets cats on fire and beats your girlfriend/wife, like Steven Avery, and

The mere fact that his account of the events kept changing with each interview should have made any confession null.

I still want to know how that one cop, Andy Colborn, called in Teresa’s license plate and knew the make and model of her car two days before the car was discovered.

My favorite glimpse into this mans brain was when he described Teresa as a “little girl — oops! I mean woman.”

Omg like he does with his homework. That whole bit broke my heart. His confession was definitely coerced.

Not to mention his cognitively challenged teenage nephew, who had never gotten into any trouble in his life, and who will likely spend another 30 years behind bars unless something is done. Just a little collateral damage, right guys?

And what evidence did they have on Dassey? Because his “confession” was a total joke. It seemed exactly like he was “guessing” at what they WANTED him to say, as he explains at some point in the film.

Oh creepy-voiced Ken, when I watched the episode in which your misogynistic and abusive behavior reduced your prosecutorial career to a tiny pile of shit, the schadenfreude was...so....satisfying.

I assume it’s no different than the defense lawyers who will do whatever it takes to get a “not guilty.”

I think it would be interesting to study the mental processes of prosecutors in cases like these. I get the feeling that it would be less odious for them to lose a case than it seems to be for their ‘win’ to be deemed In Error. You see lots of prosecutors confronted with DNA exculpation go “Nope! I got my guy!”
