the judge ruled that the defense was not allowed to say who they thought did it.
they never said the cops did the killing. they claimed it would have been easy for one or two cops to plant the evidence which I think they did a good job of proving.
How could they without actual evidence to indicate who that would be? If the defense had a legitimate suspect to name, would they not have shared that information with authorities or the media? Even if you were to some way remove the implication that the sheriff's employees could have killed her, you are still left with a number of obstacles w/r/t the jury...ordinary people's perception of the trustworthyness of police & convincing them of the possibility that multiple jurisdictional authorities would completely ignore a heinous murderer still loose in their community in their zeal to remove Avery, even though he was only in a civil suit with one, are still uphill arguments on the average.
With out the defense providing an alternative actor, it's an implication...with out any assistance in connecting the dots to the sheriff's office needed by the DA.
Yep, that was horrifying.We just watched the third one last night. I am not sure how the 2 officers who "questioned" Steve's nephew sleep at night. Its one thing to go after an adult, but the way they steered a kid, who obviously has an IQ around 70 is horrible. When they kept going on about her head, I was getting sick to my stomach. And then when they were done and he asked if he could get back to school by a certain time, man, 70 may be generous. I'm not sure how they even questioned him without his mom there, that is pretty messed up.
The needle hole thing is BS, though.. Those tubes have a hole in the top--that's just the way they are. The sketchy part is that the box had been tampered with.Just finished episode 4 so not gonna read the whole thread yet in case of spoilers etc but can tell the way its going. Absolutely fucked up, of course it's biased as all docs are but still. They've done a very good job of painting a bad picture of all the law enforcement, sherrifs etc. I can't see how they can get away with the planting of the evidence (needle hole in the blood and keys in plain sight with only Avery's DNA), it seems pretty clear watching it but again it's biased. The manipulation of the 16 year old (can't remember his name) is awful.
My opinion so far is that it probably wasn't Avery but somebody (not necessarily the state but seems like they would have been involved) has done a very good job of framing him.

The hardest part for me was watching Brendon. He was reading on a fourth grade level. My daughter is in third grade and most of the kids in her class are considered to be reading at a fourth grade level or beyond. They're 9. Heartbreaking.

Neither did his mother.
