Just stayed up all night watching.  I don't know what to think without looking into the case further, but they sure got the intended reaction out of me at least for a little while.  As always the media is disgusting when it comes to tragic events and if nothing else I'm glad this showed that from this perspective.

3 episodes in and what little confidence I had in humanity is already waning. Just cannot believe that the investigators would allow people with an obvious conflict of interest to be involved in that murder investigation.

It's taken all of the restraint I have to not Google anything about these people until I'm done watching the series... But until I'm finished, I'm wishing most of these prosecutors and Manitowoc Police Department are no longer in their professions.

I would hope in jail.  There's a few guys there that I think got carried along by things and made reasonable decisions based on the information they had, but there's no question a few folks crossed real lines knowingly in putting him behind bars the first time.  Then to have some of those same folks (who were being deposed during the murder investigation) being anywhere near the crime scene is almost instant reasonable doubt. I would think just about any reasonably intelligent human being with no law experience could spin reasonable doubt out of that.

 

Speaking of ignorance, if he is guilty of murder, their presence just got him off (or at least it would have if I was on the jury).  If he's innocent, it's part one all over again with the real killer still being very much alive.

 

Only thing that could make this worse is if one of the cops/DAs actually killed her to frame him.

 

Oh, side note, I lived a couple hours from there when this was happening and even vacationed in Mishikat.  Too me, that is more scary.

I am through episode four. This case is even more infuriating then the West Memphis Three case.

Len Krachinsky is a weasel. I felt bad for the kid that he was stuck with him. He had no intention of fighting for him and was in way over his head for a case like this.

Just finished episode 3 this AM, holy ****, this series is infuriating and depressing as it gets thus far, I don't know how it can get worse, but sounds like it does.

Unfortunately it does. Buckle up, you're about to get to know Len Krachinsky...

So you went to sleep about an hour ago then? 

Wanted to watch more but the wife was tired and the series is pretty exhausting. Made it through two episodes, will probably get 2-3 more in tonight.

 

I was merely unsettled and disappointed until the DA was found free of wrong-doing for the 1985 rape charge. That's the point where my blood started to boil. The initial charge and conviction was organized through a few participating individuals (partially through incompetence) but when the system declined calling them out for it, I... Well, it's hard to have any faith in the system if the internal review system wouldn't pursue those rotten scum-sucking dirtbags.

 

Watching the series sitting next to a trial lawyer adds quite a bit of insight to the show.

I watched 1-7 over 2 nights, then skipped 8 & 9 and went straight to 10.  I already knew what happened and 6 - 9 are mostly focused on the trials, really heavy and kinda hard to watch (stay awake) late at night.

I lived in CA while all of this was happening so while the name Steve Avery is vaguely familiar, the entire story is unknown to me.
