MAKING A MURDERER on Netflix is a very powerful documentary. I'm up to episode 5. It follows Steven Avery & his lawyer's closely, but doesn't follow prosecutor's and their side of this story. What it does show, is how law enforcement treats the poor like Steven. People blame him for his past acts, but he admits to bad behavior all the way. He makes no apologies.
Steven was thrown in jail after an attempted rape of a woman in 1985. He got 30 odd years in prison, but DNA cleared him who was released after 18 years. Lawmaker's could've gotten him out after 8 years, but never filed a confession of another inmate until Avery was released. I enjoyed the task-force interrogation of those that put Avery behind bars. You can see it in their eyes that they put the wrong man in prison. They tried hard to contradict their own statements that were recorded all those years ago. Their mistakes are now being seen by millions of viewers.
In episode 3 -- Two of the police who were interrogated by that task-force went into Steven's home. Not one investigator saw the key on the floor before those two went into that house. Steven's DNA is on that key, but he claims he never saw it & didn't kill Teresa who the key belongs to. Did police plant evidence out of revenge because they were wrong all those years ago? Teresa's car was found in Steven's business junk yard.
