I am just curious about something. I have noticed that when you post, you seem to be ADAMANT about SA guilt, and I respect that as while many people are unsure of his guilt there are just as many that are unsure of his 100% innocence, as well (myself included). But I think that most people are coming away from this documentary questioning the investigation, even more than they are questioning SA's guilt/innocence. My question to you is that I want the opinion of a pro-guilt person on what you found right or wrong about the INVESTIGATION & TRIALS. So, what are your opinions on what LE & officials did right or wrong in this case?
Oooooo Pick me too! LOL.
I also believe he is guilty. I followed this case from day one TH “missing person” breaking news.
HOWEVER, I did come away from the documentary questioning the investigation. I was also majorly swayed by fancy press conference and had little reason to doubt Brandon’s guilt or confession at that time. I now believe he could be innocent, guilty or somewhere in between. I’m FIRM that he deserves a new FAIR trial immediately—if that’s even possible at this point. Avery, I’d be willing to watch him get one (mostly to shut ppl up), but I’m still firmly convinced the same outcome would likely occur. UNLESS, KZ finds out otherwise and digs out beautiful new factual evidence- as she is so famous for. Then I would ACCEPT it without reservation. EAT CROW STAT!! Not everyone that thinks that he is guilty is too stubborn or too invested in their beliefs.
LE & TRIALS: I also walked away convinced of:
A. Blatant lies on the stand pre-trial hearings and trial by LE.
B. Potential for a few pieces of evidence that COULD have been conveniently dropped in choice locations to solidify a conviction.
C. Seemingly non-existent HARD look at other potential suspects.
D. Morally corrupt interview/badgering of Brandon who they CLEARLY knew they could break. Never should have been done w/out parent or attorney. I might even believe the allegation that mom claims to have told them “NOT without me”
E. Etc…. the remaining common answers ie: MCSD personnel should never have been on scene, un-supervised, un-logged, Officers deposed in civil case shouldn’t have even been allowed to assist in an administrative or consultation role, PERIOD.
F. Our criminal justice system is more flawed than I ever could have imagined.
I’m also repulsed by the extremes ppl will go to whilst justifying or arguing their opinions. Guilty or innocent. Things are picked apart to a ridiculous degree, conspiracy theories taken TOO far, evidence exaggerated, and ppl that are far from “experts” on certain areas making broad, ridiculous statements to support their case. Essentially allowing others that just pop in to peek at this site to walk away thinking some things are FACT. I work in LE, so I’ll admit I’m sensitive to scrutiny and allegations, but I won’t dismiss the idea of corruption based solely on that. I’ll defend or attempt to clarify as necessary--The most common example of what I spoke of above are the steadfast beliefs, accusations, adamant statements that Colburn HAD to be looking at the car when calling in the plates. “There’s NO REASON HE WOULD EVER BE DOING THAT IF HE WASN’T RIGHT AT THE CAR!!” Simply not true. He could be a creep, but it’s negligent to be so adamant when it’s not your particular area of expertise. I prefer to let the blood draw experts speak on the needle, the off-duty attorneys on here speak to the law, the ppl with medical experience decipher the difficult autopsy, medical stuff, etc.
Personally, I will let the evidence lead me, not my pride or stubbornness or blanket statements made by other non-experts. I’m VERY open to looking at both sides. I believe the evidence DID lead to Avery in the trial, but I also believe that ppl over-analyze his actions un-necessary and pick apart his statements or use somewhat irrelevant details to point to his guilt. Ex: him stating he touched the car. Or maybe he touched the car. Not sure where he touched the car, etc. Saying maybe the door, or top of the door? He wasn’t SURE. He was stating it was a possibility. He was confused. Innocent or guilty some facts are irrelevant to you at the time because you don’t know they could BECOME relevant. We all have memory lapses and get confused. I think he’s guilty and I’m equally annoyed by my counterparts and their Nancy Grace mentality.
I also don’t expect or NEED to know exactly HOW things went down in what order. Bedroom, garage, Brandon’s 2nd, 3rd, 18th version? Who cares? You can’t throw away the baby with the bathwater just because we can’t put it ALL together. Maybe there’s no blood because she was killed in the grass and trace evidence washed away in the rain. The only person that knows exactly how it was done step by step is the guilty person--- and HE AINT TALKING.
I don’t mean to sound biotchy, I LOVE THIS WEBSITE and value everyone’s input. HOLY COW I rely on ya’ll to help my mind pick through SO many trials. I’ll admit to being blinded by pre-conceived thoughts or naïve on SO MUCH—but I thoroughly enjoy that THIS is where I can come to have ppl break it all down for me!!! I brag on this tribe like you’re my family 
But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I get slightly annoyed by ppl blazing in on social media, FB, Blogs, commenting on news articles etc-- after watching a documentary on TV and immediately being the authority on everything!! We all have a responsibility to dig, research, read, and be well versed when being adamant in our stance.
The documentary left a TON out. PERIOD!
