At the time, I didn't realize that it was 10 full length episodes long, but I got hooked. I'm currently on the 6th episode, and since I already know the verdict, I can tell that I'm gonna be pissed in the end.
It's a documentary though...they're built to only tell half of the story. I mean, there are a shit ton of mo-mos in this country that believe that the United States carried out the WTC attacks all because of a flimsy evidenced and easily disproven documentary. I'd like to hear the rest of the story before I decide whether or not this was a "terrible act of justice".
Hey Johnny, long time no see.
I think you're misunderstanding what I said when I called it a "terrible act of justice". I'll let everyone know right now that I am NOT saying that Avery is innocent. In all honesty I don't even know whether or not Avery killed Teresa. Whether he did or not isn't the problem to me, he very well might have killed her. The problem to me is that somehow a guilty verdict was reached even in the face of all of the unusual and contradicting evidence. I don't know what's worse..... the fact that the jurors somehow decided that Avery was guilty, or the fact that the judge even let this trial continue the way that it did.
Speaking of the jurors.... how in the world did 7 of them decide that Avery was not guilty but then all of a sudden change their mind? There were 7 who originally said he was NOT guilty, 3 who were absolutely sure he was guilty and 2 who were undecided. Yet somehow they all had a big epiphany and suddenly everyone says he's guilty. I mean something just doesn't seem right about any of this and I really do believe there's a conspiracy behind all of this that includes the police department. I'm with Avery's lawyers and actually don't believe that the police killed Teresa. I do however believe that they wanted to frame Avery for the murder without ever considering anyone else just like they did with the rape case.
