Haven't seen it.

Question: was he actually exonerated or, as is much more common, was it just that enough new evidence was found to create reasonable doubt that would make a new trial unwinnable?

He was exonerated the first time after serving 18 years.

I have watched a couple of episodes this morning; from what I am seeing, he was innocent of the rape he went to jail for.

I haven’t got into the episodes about the murder yet.

Innocent. There was a pubic hair on the rape victim from a known sexual assaulter. Nothing from Mr. Avery.

The railroading that went on; the coverup are despicable.

When people in power abuse it in such a way that someone suffers as this man did; they need to suffer the consequences they made their victim suffer. Time for some prison for some people in this story.
