    Maddog = Jerry Buting

    Enfant terrible = Ken Kratz

    Seriously though, no need to de-rail the thread, can't you post your opinions and leave it at that!?!

    Is that not what we're doing?

    I answered all his questions now just looking for some evidence of the amazing conspiracy Maddog laid out.

    There was a programme on this yesterday, supposedly releasing new evidence, on Discovery Investigation. The name of the programme is 'Steven Avery: Innocent or Guilty'. I have checked my usual sources for content but there is no sign of it.

    Does anyone know where this can be downloaded or streamed from?

    There are a number of unanswered questions here and a lot more I'd like to know. Very strange stuff and I don't believe Avery should have been convicted based on the facts presented in the series.
    I can't figure out why more wasn't made of the voicemail access, the policemans admission around the timelines of calling in the license plates of the car, the very obvious tampering with the blood sample or the pre trial comments by the prosecutor.
    Serious questions remain around those and other areas and I cannot see how any logical thinking person could convict based on the evidence presented.

    Here is a link for the new programme about the case that was aired yesterday:

    http://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-shows/steven-avery-innocent-or-guilty/steven-avery-innocent-or-guilty-video/steven-avery-innocent-or-guilty/

    I use a DNS service to get around geo-blocking so I am not sure if this will work for those without same or not...

    There is his blood in the car, his sweat on her car hood latch, her body in his burn pit, a bullet with her DNA in his garage that was fired from his gun and your worried about voicemail access and tampering with blood that never happened.

    The blood evidence was very obviously accessed after it has been sealed initially.
    The absense of evidence is more of a worry for me and the apparent issues with the stories of key investigators who had access to the alleged crime scene are worrying


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,162 ✭✭✭MadDog76


    Because he admitted it and all the evidence points there.

    What evidence points to this incredible conspiracy you believe in?

    That alone is enough for me to discount your opinion as in any way relevant to this discussion I'm afraid ...... but I'll leave you with this advise, actually watch the documentary yourself then go and do your own research ........ you might then be able to come back here with an informed opinion.

    For those with Sky, it's channel 522 at 9pm

    I'll give it a watch

    Ha I did watch it and Brendan's confessions which made me believe he was guilty.

    I thought he might have been innocent before watching his confessions.

    Good luck with the conspiracy theory would make an exciting movie.

    Why?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,162 ✭✭✭MadDog76


    Why?

    If you watched the documentary, or even knew anything about the case, you'd know that the evidence seal on the blood sample package had been broken without anybody knowing, or admitting, who did it or why that was done ........ which means??? :rolleyes:

    You need to do your research :D

    "The defense team also presented evidence that the tape sealing the package was legitimately broken on June 19, 2002, by then-district attorney E. James Fitzgerald.
    Fitzgerald and members of Avery's defense team recorded breaking into the package during Avery's appeal against his rape conviction while deciding what to send for additional testing.

    That extraction of the Blood Sample was done unofficially with an attempt to conceal it having been done until it was questioned, ie. a new evidence seal was never logged and placed back onto the packaging as per Standard Operating Procedures when removing evidence from the Evidence Locker ........ now, using reason and logic, can you think of any reason why Law Enforcement would want to remove evidence from the Evidence Locker without anybody knowing about it officially?

    Yeah, imagine that ......... the Manitowoc Sheriff's Department fabricating evidence to incriminate Steven Avery and refusing to investigate evidence which might prove Steven Avery's innocence ......... all to frame him and put him away for the rest of his life for a horrendous crime he did not commit??? Ridiculous!!!

    Oh wait .......... that's exactly what they did do to Mr. Avery in 1985 and it took 18 years behind bars before he was exonerated.

    I don't believe he was framed in 1985, unless I'm mistaken he was wrongfully convicted. There's a massive difference there. The injured party identified him as the culprit.
    Convicted wrongly.
    Not framed.

    Really? Look into that case a little deeper and come back to me ......... you might be surprised with what you will find. ;)

    You're ridiculous, we can add that to the conspiracy theory so.

    Can you do me out a full time line of this conspiracy and everyone involved?

    Nope. I know about the case. Wrongly convicted.
    Unless you know something different??

    He was wrongly convicted but he became the number 1 suspect for seemingly no reason at all. Then he could have been released earlier but for the purposeful ignoring of the real offender actually trying to tell them they had the wrong man. You can throw in the artist impression and that too to make it look an extremely dodgy process by the local law enforcement, as bad as framing really.

    He didn't become a suspect for no reason. Just because the programme makers made you believe he was a good guy didn't mean he was.
    There was reason to suspect him for the rape & the reason must have been right because the injured party identified him as the culprit. That's police doing their job. It's not them framing someone.

    Yep, the rape should have been looked at again, before it was. But that was one guy, one guy that ignored a phone call. Not a whole police force setting someone up.

    It's already been made! The whole show is a conspiracy theory! The entire premise is built on the theory that there was a police conspiracy. What did you think you were watching?

    Ya your right, guess that's why its so popular people love conspiracy theories.

    The movie version should be better though, seeing the evil cops in action.

    Yep. As somebody in the US media said recently: murder sells. The rights to a movie of Serial has been sold. With this I don't see a movie, but I reckon knock off documentaries will keep popping up for a while. Follow up if he does get another hearing or anything due to his new lawyer.

    I have absolutely no problem however in people discussing and musing on the possible police conspiracy in this case. It's exactly what type of discussion this documentary tried to start. And this is 1 of thousands of questionable cases around the world so why not point the finger at the system and if it's as fair as it could be? A jury's word is not final

    Don't make wild assumptions btw, I'm far from convinced he's innocent. I am convinced the police acted dreadfully throughout though so you can drop the condescending nonsense.

    So you can't question the defenses conspiracy theory?

    Huh? Of course! But you have to accept that the whole show is a conspiracy theory and it's not just posters here that are coming up with them. I might be reading you wrong but it seems like you've made up your mind and don't want to entertain alternative theories. If I have it wrong - apologies

    No its true I've made up my mind he's guilty based on the evidence I've seen so far, can you only post here if you believe in the conspiracy theory?

    Ha I did watch it and Brendan's confessions which made me believe he was guilty.

    I thought he might have been innocent before watching his confessions.

    Good luck with the conspiracy theory would make an exciting movie.

    If you believe Brendan's confession was what actually happened how do you explain the following:

    - no blood, DNA or any other evidence from the victim found in the house/garage where she was allegedly raped, strangled, throat slit and shot 10/11 times. I find it incredible to think that these guys could clean up that scene completely and leave not a shred of evidence behind just using some bleach.

    - Despite searching the house for several days no one was able to spot the key that was just sitting on the ground in one of the rooms. Even if you believe it was behind the cabinet that no one thought to look there for several days seems ridiculous. Also how was there no DNA from the victim on the key? Also no one was able to find the bullet with his DNA until months later despite days of searching the house/garage?

    - if he burned her body outside his house why did he need to put her into the boot of her car (where her blood was found) to drive her from his garage to the burn pit?

    - how come no fingerprints were found in the car despite his blood being found there?

    - did no one see/smell the burning body outside the house or here the multiple rifle shots that were fired in his garage?

    Just to clarify I've no idea if Steven Avery is guilty or not but if you believe Brendan's account I find it hard to not have huge questions about the evidence backing it up.
