If you’ve watched all ten episodes of the Netflix documentary series Making A Murderer, you’re most likely left with more questions than answers. For starters: What really happened? The filmmakers present the story of Steven Avery, a man falsely accused of sexual assault and attempted murder, who was convicted and imprisoned, then exonerated, only to be charged decades later with murdering a photographer named Teresa Halbach. It’s a complicated, harrowing, frustrating narrative, and it’s sparked a lot of speculation.
Warning: If you haven’t watched the series, this post isn’t for you; it requires some knowledge of the show, and spoilers abound.
This is a travesty! This Avery character is guilty. One of our local talk hosts is a lawyer and covered the trial. He explained at length the evidence is ironclad. Only whacked out liberals would try to spring a murderer like this.
I thought it one of the best programs ever made. Should be required viewing for all lawyers, law students and law enforcement.
That’s the great thing about making you’re own documentary, you can leave out damning details to help you’re point of view.
This is circumstantial??!!???!!
— The bullet with Halbach’s DNA on it came from Avery’s gun, which always hung above his bed.
— Avery had purchased handcuffs and leg irons like the ones Dassey described holding Halbach only three weeks before (Avery said he’s purchased them for use with his girlfriend, Jodi, with whom he’d had a tumultuous relationship — at one point, he was ordered by police to stay away from her for three days).
That was a good analysis. I thought he probably was guilty, but the cops sure looked just as guilty. There was enough doubt for not convicting him though. The whole thing with the kid being interrogated left a bad taste in my mouth, and as far as his defense attorney, I would have punched him in the face down the stairs as soon as I met him. The boyfriend of the killed girl was a suspect to me. He just happened to lead a search party near the forty acre private property, how’s that work. The car was discovered within 30 minutes in the 40 acre junk yard with hundreds of cars, seems to be a bit more than luck to me.
I watched the entire series. He was framed. No doubt about it. He had no motive. Way too many questions to convict.
How is it possible that only after the eighth search of rhe trailer did the Malawi detective, who wasn’t supposed to be involved in the case to begin with, find the key fob with a nylon strap have only Avery’s DNA laying in plain site? That’s impossible.
How is it that the same detective found a bullet in plain site in about the easiest garage ever after several searches and allegedly only non-blood DNA from the victim. And how could anyone possibly shoot a victim several times in the garage and leave no blood or other DNA evidence? They even dug up the cracked concrete floor. There was no evidence she was ever even in the garage.
And if the victim was raped in his bedroom, how was it possible there was no evidence she was ever in the house?
As for her bones being in the fire pit, why was every procedure foe excavating burnt remains violated? I’ll tell you why. Her remains were burned somewhere else and moved there.
The family owned a salvage yard and if he did it, he would have crushed the car and disposed of it. The blood in the car was planted. Don you really think anyone could not possibly have seen the smear right by the ignition switch?
He had a girlfriend he truly loved and was about to start a trial which would have paid him multiple millions of dollars. Members of the Mattawoc sheriff’s department and the County would have been liable. Don’t know who murdered the woman, but there was no real evidence Avery did it.
Could cite a source for your statements regarding the gun and bullet, the cuffs and leg irons,and why there was none of her DNA found in either the trailer or garage aside from non-blood DNA on a bullet that was found by the detective will an obvious motive to frame him only after several other serches?
You’re falling for the magic of lefty propaganda. Lets continue to discredit the legal system every day.
Our local talk radio host LAWYER was there during the entire trial and got to know the film makers. They had financial motive to make an exoneration film, it was clear that was the goal from the first day. He said the case was concrete, and the defense was unable to refute any of the evidence. All they did was say ‘the cops did it’.
No real evidence? The evidence was ironclad, DNA on the bullets from Avery’s gun.
Blood planted? Sure.
Ping
I’m citing this....
— The bullet with Halbach’s DNA on it came from Avery’s gun, which always hung above his bed.
Which come from the link in post 4 and it was also stated in the radio analysis of Dan O’Donnell who covered the trial.

But we only got selected clips from the trial itself, and only the evidence the filmmakers wanted us to see. The jury saw it all.
I don't know how they could have arrived at "guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt," but they did.
I think there's a lot more to the Avery story than we were shown in that documentary.
With you on this.
What about the vial of Avery’s blood in evidence which was broken into and violated with a needle ?
8 days for the cops of the town who weren’t supposed to be there investigating ? And the Avery’s not allowed on the property?
These people are the dregs of society to normal middle class people, we have them in my town ‘pink eye village’ - they intermarry and most have lower IQs ... but all are labeled and treated differently in school... I’ve seen it for years. Easy to railroad.
What a great series...just finished it yesterday. Absolute travesty of justice.
Being poor and having to use public defenders doesn’t help either.
No jury in America is asked to convict beyond a shadow of a doubt. Reasonable doubt is the standard.
I suspect that either the ex-boyfriend or Brendans brother killed her. Moreso the boyfriend because wow they were really quick to go full bore on the missing person thing and very specific about searching so close to Avery's.
Here’s my take, between watching this show and what I have read about all the Wisconsin “john Doe” injustices, I know that I will never set foot in that state. My God!
Well I watched the entire series and am still uncertain:
On one hand, Avery and his nephew do seem shady if not stupid enough to have been so brazen as to rape, murder and then burn a woman who others knew she would be there, leave her car on their property, have a fire pit in plain view, etc.
On the other hand that the car as well the body were not placed in the crusher and buried under tons of scrap, the whole key not being there and then being there and the blood as well the evidence box tampering beckons explaining by the police.
The series was well done, may have had an agenda, but left more questions unanswered than answered: we may never know.
