IMO I believe Brendan was coerced into giving the interrogators the answers they wanted to hear in order to use them against SA, to get a conviction. IF TH was murderer as BD suggested, her blood and/or DNA would have been found in SA's bedroom somewhere. There was absolutely none, not one speck. Matter of fact they didn't find BD's DNA either. I believe he is innocent and deserves another trial at the least.
As for SA, I'm still undecided about whether he's innocent or guilty. A question I ask is, what was his motive for murdering TH? Sex? Wouldn't it be more logical for him to get a prostitute or visit his fiancée in jail? Doesn't it seem logical that he would be on the straight and narrow after doing 18 years in jail, he wouldn't take any risks of ending up back there? Seems to me that a couple of those officers who were involved in the 1985 rape case would have more reason to frame SA. There careers were on the line and IMO they had nothing to lose.
Also IMO I believe the state still owes financial compensation for the 18 years SA wasted of his life in prison regardless of whether he is guilty or not for the murder of TH. Even if they compensated him enough to find legal representation of his choice. If and until he is given another trial, and if he is found innocent, then I believe the state should further financially compensate him. If he's found guilty, then at least he did receive some compensation for those 18 years he was unfairly held in prison. It's not right that he is broke and could not find decent legal representation. Thankfully a lawyer has stepped forward and has taken on him case.
There were too many things that raised reasonable doubt in my mind through the ten Netflix episodes. One think I thought I would point out though that I think his defense may have gotten wrong is the test tube of blood. They suggest there is a needle hole in the rubber stopper of the test tube where someone could have extracted blood. In truth though, there is a needle inserted in the stopper as blood is being taken from donor. So unless there is a fail proof test developed to show there is EDTA in the swabs taken of SA's blood, from TH's vehicle, the punctured test tube stopper holds no water.
ALL MOO.
