Making a Murderer
I don't know if many people have watched it on Netflix, but I just watched season 2. Just when you think it couldn't get any worse it does.
It is a shocking portrait of the American Legal System.

In these days of Trump, Brexit, ‘Hero TOMMY’ and the rise of the far right not much shocks or surprises me, but this is on another level....
And it wasn't a story.
will watch 2 tomorrow
He had learning difficulties.
The police conned him into giving his confession.
He genuinely thought if he confessed, he would be able to get to school to hand his project in, and stay out of trouble.
The police fed him every bit of information that he would be aware of if he was there when she was killed.
He said his uncle cut her throat while she was handcuffed to the bed, yet they didn't find one spot of blood in the bedroom.
A judge ruled that he could be released subject to the prosecution retrying him in 90 days.
The prosecution appealed, and 3 judges voted 2 to 1 in favour of standing by the first judges decision.
The prosecution appealed again and this time 7 judges voted 4 to 3 in favour of letting him rot in jail.
So the poor sod went from being a couple of days of being released to being stuck in jail until 2048.
Anyone that thinks he has been treated fairly is an absolute idiot.
His latest lawyer is absolutely brilliant, she checks and rechecks everything. She consults the very best experts about every aspect of the case. All this has paid off, but it made their previous representation seem very ineffective.
I wouldn't like to be accused of a serious crime in the USA if I didn't have much money.
Maybe its just as bad over here, I don't know.
When I hear someone is prison claiming that they were framed, I would usually treat the claim with the utmost scepticism.
Yet Steven Avery, who had cut his finger, left a blood stain in the victims vehicle, when driving it to hide it on his property.
Yet the remarkable thing is that he managed to do this without leaving a single fingerprint.
He therefore opened the door without leaving prints on the door handle, steered it with no prints on the steering wheel, and changed gear with no prints on the gear stick.
You could of course argue gloves, but if so how did the blood get there. You cant surely have it both ways. Gloves and no prints, but also no blood stain. Or a bloodstain and fingerprints.
According to Brendan his mentally challenged nephew, the victim was shackled to the bed, but the shackles left no marks, or scratches when she was struggling for her life.
He also stated that she was stabbed in the stomach, and her throat was cut while she was still alive. Yet not a single drop of blood was found.
They then took her to the garage where Steven Avery according to Brendan, shot her 10 times. The police say he shot her twice, as they found two bullets in the garage.
Again, not a single drop of blood was found in the garage. This is surely not just remarkable, but totally impossible.
