Many comments on netflix are saying that this documentary is too biased towards steve avery, concealing evidence from the other side, I can only say that I have also watched various post-event interviews on youtube, all of which are 15 years old, including interviews. The kratz who grew up eating shit, in short, there are only two evidences that are not mentioned in the film:
1. Halbach once saw Avery with only a towel wrapped around her before he was killed. Halbach expressed a bit of disgust about this. But nothing like what Kratz said in the interview: I don't want to meet avery, I feel sexually harassed, and I think it might be unsafe for me to visit avery again. And when Halbach went to Avery's house on the day of the murder, he decided to go there, and he did not feel scared or inappropriate. Attorney Dean said that this can be proved by the phone recording of Halbach and his boss on the same day.
2. The bleach on Dassey pants. This evidence was believed by Kratz to prove that Dassey and Avery cleaned the scene together. However, this is completely nonsense by Kratz because 1: The documentary made it very clear that even after cleaning with bleach, the blood in the crevices on the garage floor cannot be completely washed away. During the investigation, the gap in the garage floor was completely knocked open, and no trace of blood was found. 2: The anthropologist in the film studied the residual bones and found that Halbach’s head must have been severely traumatized, and a lot of blood must have flowed/spattered. This blood must require a lot of bleach, so it must be A lot of smell was left in the garage, but no trace of bleach was found during the search. 3: There is deer blood on the garage floor. If bleach is used to clean the site, then these deer blood should not be present.
The above are the only two evidences that are not mentioned in the film to support Avery's guilt. Let me talk about the evidence in the film that is easily overlooked but decisively supports the fact that avery is not guilty:
1. A lack of decisive evidence: Halbach’s voicemail has been deleted after she was killed. Only Halbach’s brother and Halbach’s ex-boyfriend have the password (the only people who know the password are these two). As for who deleted that message, and what the content is, I don’t know at present. (It is also not ruled out that the younger brother/ex may increase the possibility of secretly deleting himself because of the fear of the content.)
2. Halbach’s ex-boyfriend led the whole process of searching for halbach. Under his guidance, relatives started to search The huge avery salvage found Halbach's car ten minutes later. Such a big salvage (I will look at it again tomorrow to make up for how big it is) was found in Halbach's car after only being searched in a remote corner.
3. A few small pieces of Halbach's bones were found ten miles away from Avery's home. This fully proves that Halbach's bones have been moved a long distance, and the place where the bones were found is probably the first scene. Avery, who was clearly at home at the time of the crime, did not need to pull a few small pieces of bones so far away and throw them away.
4. Avery has enough skills and machinery to smash Halbach's car. After committing such a serious crime, Avery didn't think of destroying the car with his own old business, but instead used a few wooden branches to cover the car perfunctorily and put the car in his yard.
5. The car key of Halbach found by Lenk contained only Avery's DNA, not even Halbach's own.
In addition to the above evidence, halbach's younger brother Mike is also suspicious. The younger brother didn't show any pain after his sister was killed: Except when he spoke at the conviction, which didn't seem to be a real feeling. During the whole process, Mike especially wanted to appear in front of the camera and speak. This should not be a normal performance when such things happen to relatives. This can be compared with the performance of Avery’s family and Dassey’s mother: Avery’s family has never said a word to reporters who have been pestering them when their son has been stigmatized and faces life imprisonment. Every time they cover their faces. However, Dassey’s mother endured the reporters for a long time when she saw that her son was treated so immorally and would spend all of her youth in prison, and finally said the first words to the reporters after her son was convicted. : The grass and mud horses are all rolled out to labor and capital. But Mike still wants to face the camera after his sister was so cruelly tortured and killed, I don't understand.
Personally, I don’t think this documentary was too prejudiced. It’s mainly because of a small detail: it says that jury had made a small vote at the beginning of the trial. Seven of the twelve jury believed that avery was not guilty. This means that more than half of the jurors who watched the entire trial process think that Avery is not guilty, which means that the evidence of Avery is more credible and conclusive than Kratz, so there is no intention to only take pictures that are good for Avery. .
In short, this is the first time I have written a long review. (I didn’t expect that a lazy person like me would have the patience to write such a long film review? Drama review?) I don’t know if anyone would read it... I haven’t written it in Chinese for n years. After such a long thing, if you have any language problems, please forgive me and tell me I will change TT.
