I did watch that but the documentary seemed very biased toward the defense.
Like... Avery's dna was found in the victim's car, and the victim's charred bones were found in Avery's fire pit. But the show plays these off and makes it seem like a police conspiracy.
> Like... Avery's dna was found in the victim's car,
Yeah, smeared blood that looked like it came from a q tip. And a vial of his blood in the evidence locker was found punctured by a syringe with no record as to when or why.
> two national experts – including the chair of the committee that writes the industry standards on drawing blood samples – told OnMilwaukee that such blood vials are supposed to have holes pierced in their rubber stoppers. According to the experts, that's how the blood gets into the vial.
I believe GP means the reasons the vial was punctured were undocumented, not that the punctures were undocumented (as you said, it wouldn't make sense if that were the case).
Why can't it be both? To me, the impression the show gave was that he probably did it, but that the police also faked evidence to increase the odds of a guilty verdict.
If he did it, it certainly wasn't the way they said he did it. Their evidence was very convenient. They tied her to his bed, stabbed and raped her, but her DNA isn't in the house. They then take her to the garage and there's just a single shell casing with her DNA. This is all done by two low IQ individuals, yet they cleaned everything perfectly. I call bullshit.
Unbeknownst to me I had been driving around on a suspended license for 6 months. The traffic ticket I had paid was never entered correctly. Apparently my hobbies include giving courthouses free money. I walked into court with a copy of the cancelled check. The clerk's record showed the receipt with a big PAID stamp on the digital copy.
Well this is terrible... I'd have expected courts to do things by the book.
