Yes, but that’s not really the point. Her friend was killed because of her ex boyfriend's anger towards her decision to break off the relationship. This is a fear women face while dealing with controlling significant others. It is an unfortunately reality that we have to deal with.

You all do realize that the series left out a ton of pro-defense evidence too, right? It’s interesting that you have to go to Reddit to get a full picture of it, and how few “thinkpieces” are including that vital bit of context as they rush to paint Steven Avery as “maybe unfair trial but probably guilty anyway,…

I’ve seen more articles since MAM was released about how the filmmakers did a biased job and about all the evidence that was left out and so few articles about the police and DA and how corrupt and broken the justice system is. Wasn’t that the point of the doc? Some people think he’s innocent after seeing the doc, and…

So, the irony here is that the Gawker sites are notorious for second guessing the criminal justice system in a way that riles the readers into a one sided fury...

When the public is ravenous for stories of the wrongfully-convicted (Serial, The Jinx), Schulz asks, what distinguishes Ricciardi and Demos from that opportunistic, audience-driven producer?

“A jury doesn’t deliberate twenty-some hours over three or four days if the evidence wasn’t more complex.”

Loose cannons deserve fair treatment under the law. The more you “clean up” your documentary subject, the more you lose the point of view that poor, uneducated people get shafted more than articulate, educated people of means.

. I think there are clear issues with how the police investigated this murder,

So should Ken Burns and his daughter not have made the documentary about the Central Park 5, since they couldn’t get interviews with the police and prosecutors that put them away and continued to say that they were guilty after another guy confessed 15 years later? There was a story to be told here, and they told it.

She definitely deserves justice. But planting evidence on someone suing the county for $36 million and coercing a developmentally delayed teenager with an IQ of 72 into a false confession is not justice. If you saw the interrogation of that boy, it would make you want to throw up.

Okay! Remember that police officer who found Theresa’s car 2-3 days before her body? What was the deal with that? He had the licence plate, but not the car OR what what what is going on??????????????

Here’s the thing, though- they reached out to Halbach’s family to try to talk to them for the documentary, and they flat out refused to participate. So did the prosecution and the police. The only people who agreed to participate were the Averys. So of course it’s going to focus on that part of the story when those…

Shining a nationwide light on corrupt law enforcement, judges, and prosecutors is the most important takeaway.

It never presents a cohesive, chronological explanation of Halbach’s death...

“A jury doesn’t deliberate twenty-some hours over three or four days if the evidence wasn’t more complex.”

“Fuck ‘yo cake.”

Hercules was most likely not super amped about baking George Washington a birthday cake since he actually ran away on Washington’s birthday.

“Men have weaknesses and when they see someone smiling it is difficult to control,”

I’ve had a number of friends with eating disorders - the ones who “achieved” model aesthetics and were at similar weight/height measurements were told by doctors they were dangerously underweight and in danger of organ failure. I simply cannot ever believe that ALL of the models in the world with those kinds of really…
