    Well, a judge has just quashed his conviction and spoken out very strongly against the prosecution for what they did to Brendan.

    So now we have the documentary and a judge questioning his conviction. You sure you're not just being argumentative?

    In fairness, it was a documentary on Netflix, yes it was entertaining but people in general should not be so arrogant so as to think the know all the ins and outs of a court case held over 5000 miles away.

    I don't think Brendan's conviction was over-turned based on the documentary .......... it created public awareness of the case, as intended, and paved the way for this case to be reviewed as needed .......... but it was actual evidence, or lack thereof, that resulted in Brendan's prosecution crumbling ......... this is the first step in the right direction for looking at Stephen Avery's dubious conviction.

    People who don't agree with you are morons? Says alot about you.

    Documentary is totally biased.

    Jury had all the facts and found them both guilty . You have a 10 part documentary and some Internet forums to Base your opinion on.

    They didn't have the facts, they were fed a false story by the DA and the jury pool was tainted. This is well documented.

    And it's not basing information on Internet forums, as I said the case files are public.

    And that says all that needs to be said about your understanding of the basics ......... you don't even realise that shepherd's pie isn't actually made from Shepherd's!! :D Nice try though. ;)

    Anyway, back to the discussion at hand ......... I'm delighted that justice is finally prevailing in this case and the documentary can take a lot of credit for getting the ball rolling.

    Sp surprising that someone can get convicted on such light evidence in this day and age.
    Brendan would have confessed to assassinating JFK, he really had no clue what was going on. Poor kid.

    Correct me if I'm wrong which I probably am but if their releasing Brendan due to his testimony being forced should that mean it's inadmissible meaning Steven should be released as Brendan supposed testimony was a lot to do with his conviction?

    I don't like Steven Avery, think his an unsavoury person. But the police have screwed him twice. He was proper framed for the haubach murder, he was in the process of sueing the county and he probably would have won and bankrupted the county...

    That blonde vile and the truck turning up a few days before it was 'found' on Avery's land, super dodgy

    Brendan's coerced confession wasn't used in Stevens trial because it was made up. The prosecution wouldn't ever have put him on the stand. It was purely used for the pre-trial press conference to taint the public opinion.

    He should skip bail and head to Canada. Lack of evidence won't stop them trying to convict him again.

    Including forensic evidence collected by so called experts?

    I don't for a second believe that.

    If you as much as farted at a crime scene, there are ways and means of linking it to you to know that yes it was you and you were definitely there, despite your protestations.

    Maybe to the naked eye. But if a team of forensic detectives were called in it would be a different story.

    If the two of them do get released they really need to move to another county or state. The local law will be all over them for anything like breaking a red light.

    Feck that, he should sue for millions! Millions and millions. They ruined his life, humiliated him and abused the justice system to convict an innocent bystander because they didn't like his uncle.
