Making a Murderer

Yes, I watched it about 3 weeks ago, but not all 10 episodes, I could hear parts of it whilst in my Ex's house and some of it intrigued me, so I ended up watching the latter half mainly.
What made you write the comment ' Very suspicious'?
Spoiler alert!
From what I saw of this I definately saw the guy was set up, serving multiple years for a crime he didn't commit (proven), though he was no angel. As soon as his claim for compensation came through, he was set up for another crime, which I think proved again he was not guilty, but the evidence (if you could call it that) swayed the jury into a guilty verdict.
The family didn't stand a chance as the townsfolk seemed to see them as trailer trash, they weren't very bright either, basically simple folk, but the parents were hard working.
I think it showed the Sheriff and his minions just what ends they'd go to to get a verdict in their favour. It infuriated me to see this guy and his nephew wasting away in prison with no chance of release.

I thought this was a very good documentary.
Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos followed the case and Stephen Avery for 10 years so in the 10 episodes, none is superfluous.
It is bone-chilling and disheartening to see what little chance one has when facing 'The System', despite top-notch and dedicated lawyers.
In the meantime, the online petition has gained many signatures thanks to the documentary.

I thought maybe the most disturbing think was that there were apparently authoritarian followers on the jury who refused to be swayed even though it was obvious the authorities were up to no good. A great case study for the ponerized system and it's consequences. I recommend it.

Even more disturbing was the fact that the only member of the jury who was clearly convinced Avery was innocent was 'suddenly called back to his family for an emergency' and could therefore not participate. You got to wonder what happened there, as it was so timely and in favour of Avery's attackers.

Interesting thought. I also wanted to say that it was very good to see the difference documented on camera between the the defense lawyers who were intelligent, non pathological, empathetic. And the lying sociopaths who were colluding together in the State. Nicely contrasted.
