Netflix: Making a Murderer -- My theory on the case (MAJOR SPOILER ALERT)

[justiceischeap]

4. My take/theory

I came away from the show not knowing whether Avery was guilty or not but believing there was enough "reasonable doubt" in his case to have at least caused a mistrial if not a not guilty verdict. For the things you mentioned mostly about the crime scenes and lack of any evidence that she was killed where the prosecution claims she was killed.

The second take away for me was that Brendan Dassey got screwed and no one even offered him lube. From his lawyer on up. If anyone deserves a retrial, it's that guy. The police claim they had permission from the mom to interview him the first time but once he had a lawyer, the FBI shouldn't have interviewed him without the attorney present. That should be grounds for a new trial.

I do find it hard to believe that a guy that had no real violent history (other than the one cat episode) suddenly decides to murder a woman so near to getting everything he wanted. But stranger things have happened, I guess.
