Also, are the documentarians claiming that his time in prison made him a murderer?
Because the guy held up a bar, assaulted a female relative, and deliberately set a cat on fire before he was convicted of the other assault.
He was one sick piece of work before that conviction.
Is there something ambiguous about, “was exonerated by DNA evidence”?
“He was one sick piece of work before that conviction.”
I do know that our justice system is supposed to pretty much ignore prior behavior...on the other hand, I do have trouble getting worked up about a beast like that spending most of his life in the cooler.
I know the victim. She and her family were devastated when he was exonerated by the DNA. She and her husband are two wonderful people and she was wracked with guilt over having him spent 18 years in prison based on her testimony.
After he was charged with murder, she was victimized again because she felt like she may have been partially responsible for creating the monster who is Steven Avery. He was a bad guy before he went to prison for a crime he did not commit, he came out after 18 years even worse.
Nobody who I know from Manitowoc County has any doubts that he committed the murder.
DNA proved another man was the one guilty of the rape.
