They can't; there is physical evidence from the skull fragments that she was shot in the head. The rest is based ENTIRELY on Brendan Dassey's coerced statement where he said all sorts of things... a lot of which contradicts the physical evidence that exists... and even contradicts
other things he said himself. They just cherry-picked the part of the statement that they want to be true.
Again... I honestly don't know if Steven Avery shot her. He may well have done; he HAS done some other horrendous things in his youth and circumstantially, he certainly had opportunity. I do know that it didn't go down the way that they're saying it did though because it simply doesn't make any sense. And some of the physical evidence doesn't make sense either.
Really the simplest explanation for it all is that Avery did indeed kill her, but he did a good job of covering his tracks and so the police decided to plant evidence and coerce Dassey into making a statement so that they could arrest & convict. Which obviously is a huge problem and needs to be uncovered. The ends don't justify the means when it comes to things like this.
