Maybe he did not notice then?? And could not see all the places it dripped. I have cut myself many times and not noticed until I see blood dripping somewhere.
I don't see any crazy reason for it.. It seems like a normal explanation to me.
I watched the whole series, I took notes and I have a firm belief that this guy was totally shafted in 85. But this is a whole new ballgame and I think he used his past false conviction to get away with this one.
He is not the nice guy that he is playing to be. He set a cat on fire, He ran his cousin off the road. He had police to his house for domestic violence with Jodi and Lori. He is not a nice guy. HE is a guy who I believe killed TH and figured he would just say he was framed and get away with it. He started from day 1.. I think they are setting me up...
Yeah, Right.. He did this. He killed her and burned her. I believe that BD is the one who deserves the sympathy and concern. This guy is right where he should be.
I tend to agree.
I also think that Ms. Halbach's murder did not go down as proposed by the DA. Why?
Because the prosecutor was relying upon the coerced, and imnsho, orchestrated confession (
ala Kachinsky emails) of a mentally challenged teen. A confession that lacked physical evidence to back up his description of events.
That said, do I think SA murdered Ms. Halbach? More likely than not. Why?
The necessary narrative to implicate a 3rd party leaves too many loose ends. These loose ends primarily involve blood evidence in the car and moving the cremains. Now, while I, personally, am of the opinion the cremains were moved from the quarry to the burn pit, I highly doubt LE or some 3rd party moved them to the burn pit to frame SA. Simply bc I do not for a minute believe he murdered her in his home or his garage.
I do however think that the two Manitowoc LEOs planted evidence. Primarily due to the paucity of evidence that was required to support the prosecutor's narrative. Importantly, a lurid narrative of rape, torture, execution, and desecration. And yet, the only DNA they found that even remotely indicated Ms. Halbach's presence inside SA's residence, was a single slug with a minuscule sample. So minuscule, there was not enough left for a retest when the lab technician contaminated it with her own DNA.
So, yes, I think at least one or both of the LEOs planted the key and the slug. Though, I tend to think the reason, if they did, in fact, plant both items, had more to do with tunnel vision and attempting to strengthen their case against Avery, as opposed to doing so out of malice or revenge (
i.e., the lawsuit).
And, herein lies the crux of the matter.
To my mind and from where I sit... notably, nearly ten years later as opposed to having had a front row seat during the trial proceedings... I think a mistrial (
as opposed to a not guilty verdict), at the very least, would have been appropriate. Thereby allowing the state to retry the case.
Of course, all this is nothing more than speculation. After all, both men were convicted and sentenced. I wasn't there. And as such, I tend to be much more interested in the process as opposed to the whodunnit.
