Making of a Murderer docu on Netflix.

Am I just slow to know what's going on in the world?

There is a second round of episodes to update the story from the original documentary.

I binged the entire series in the last few days. Found myself screaming at the TV because of the incompetent, unethical, white male privileged good 'ole boys running the law enforcement/ court systems in Wisconsin, from the county up to the entire state.

Do not, under any circumstances, ever talk to police investigating a crime without an attorney present. Ever. Never, even if you're a white male. Because even then, the public defender might be in cahoots with the cops looking to advance his own career.

What a f*ing story. And still ongoing. A motion was filed last month by the attorney representing Stephen Avery, who is now 60 and has spent more than 30 years in prison for two crimes he did not commit.

For those who might have followed the story
