So excited that I FINALLY had the opportunity to watch the first 6 episodes this weekend. My friends know what a crime buff I am and have been asking me for weeks now if I've watched. Let me start by saying I'm hooked, and I expected no less. You seriously can't make this stuff up!
Here are the things in the first 6 episodes that have me screaming:
1. The lying on LE side. There were so many interviews where those cops are almost literally squirming during interviews and in court. Their eyes are shifty, they don't make eye contact, they stammer/stutter, stumble over their words, omg I can go on for days. THEY ARE LYING! It's times like these that I wish polygraph exams held up in court, because I bet money that none of them would pass one. I still have quite a few episodes to get through but nobody has done a lie detector test.
2. Brendan Dassey. That poor child. He reminds me of my 7 year old son. You can tell he's not very educated and LE has totally taken advantage of that. He changed his story so many times....why? Because it's fabricated! You can't keep a lie straight if you are coerced by LE like that. At first he said Teresa was handcuffed to the bed, but then when he was forced to draw pictures, he drew rope and chains. HELLO!!! And when he retracts the murder story and gives the REAL account (several different times!) it's always the same exact story of him being at the house, etc.
3. The blood in unlikely places and lack of blood in places where there should be-- where's the blood on the outside of the RAV4? Where's the blood in the bedroom? How about blood anywhere around the fire pit? Was there any blood in the sinks, washing machines, etc. etc. etc.? Nope. Because it was planted there.
4. That damn judge. I would like to slap him for SO many reasons. First, why hold the trial in the neighboring county if every juror is from Manitowoc?? Because they're doing it on purpose. I 100% believe that judge is in on the gig. I think he's making it so Avery had no standing chance. Not one. The only times he did things to help the defense was small things, almost in a "let me throw you a bone" type of way.
5. Bobby Dassey and Scott Tadych......do they seem shady to anyone else?
6. Ken Kratz. I knew he was a skeez the minute I laid eyes on him. Also, why the dramatic re-telling of Teresa's death? It made me sick. He made it like it was out of a movie, which to me is very disrespectful.
Anyway. My theory is probably similar to others'-- Teresa finished up her photos at Steven's house, and LE met her (Colburn, maybe?) at the end of the street, stopped her and executed her. They then threw her into the back of her own vehicle, took her down to the burn barrel, then moved her remains to Avery's fire pit during that gazillion day search.
I truly hope the petitions get him a retrial. Not in the neighboring county, either. As far away as humanely possible!
