Steven Avery (making a murderer) Guilty or innocent?

Any suggestion as to why an expert stated that they believed the way the bones were fractured that they were moved from one site to another and the original site is most likely the quarry and not the burn barrel by Stevens trailer?

To me that evidence was actually be more damning against Steven than their story that she was shot in the garage and burned in the barrel. It might explain how or why there was a struggle and his blood got in her car. Otherwise, his blood getting in her car doesn't match the timeline of the prosecution.

I didn't state that at all.

I was replying to someone who stated that the filmmakers had one agenda.

I said that they stood back to film quietly.

Given her history, Beerntsen does not need any convincing that a criminal prosecution can go catastrophically awry. But when Ricciardi and Demos approached her about participating in “Making a Murderer” she declined, chiefly because, while her own experience with the criminal-justice system had led her to be wary of certitude, the filmmakers struck her as having already made up their minds. “It was very clear from the outset that they believed Steve was innocent,” she told me. “I didn’t feel they were journalists seeking the truth. I felt like they had a foregone conclusion and were looking for a forum in which to express it.”

Ricciardi and Demos have dismissed that idea, claiming that they simply set out to investigate Avery’s case and didn’t have a position on his guilt or innocence. Yet “Making a Murderer” never provokes the type of intellectual and psychological oscillation so characteristic of Koenig and Snyder’s “Serial.” Instead, the documentary consistently leads its viewers to the conclusion that Avery was framed by the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department, and it contains striking elisions that bolster that theory. The filmmakers minimize or leave out many aspects of Avery’s less than savory past, including multiple alleged incidents of physical and sexual violence. They also omit important evidence against him, including the fact that Brendan Dassey confessed to helping Avery move Halbach’s S.U.V. into his junk yard, where Avery lifted the hood and removed the battery cable. Investigators subsequently found DNA from Avery’s perspiration on the hood latch—evidence that would be nearly impossible to plant.

Out of interest why would He have removed the battery cable anyway????
