everyone in that town seems unhinged and creepy and beyond belief to people like you and me. but the rest of the town is not in jail.

if your postman got killed right after he came to your house, does that mean you killed him just because your neighbor didn't see him leave after he delivered your mail?

Yeah lol I know, I'm just not 100% certain that he didn't do it or was involved in some way but I know there should have been plenty of reasonable doubt

Like... let's say, a Jehovah's Witness comes to your house. You're feeling particularly soft that day so you let them in to bang on about jesus and trees and whatever, and your neighbour across the street sees them enter your house. They're there for 10 minutes doing their god stuff, and then they leave, and you never see them again. Your neighbour who saw them entering has gone to take a **** at this point, and doesn't see them leave. 2 days later, that Jehovah's Witness turns up dead in a shallow grave a mile from your house. Loads of people in the area are interviewed and, it turns out on the timeline, the last time this person was seen was when they entered YOUR house. No one ever saw them leave...

How do you feel now Ammi?? What do you have against Jehovah's Witnesses anyway! I mean I know they're annoying and creepy but their hearts are in the right place. They just want to save you from damnation Ammi. And you murder them in cold blood!

..I killed the Jehovah's Witness right after I killed the postman because I only do part time, so have to catch up on my work days and fit lots in....yeah, it wasn't so much that I felt that, that it was crucial evidence but more trying to shake off the focus that I've had and whether I was missing pints in doing that...you know how you can often miss things while you're focus is on one thing and mine from the beginning has been on innocence...I've never for one moment been swayed to guilty, so I was trying to see if I could do that really...

I've actually hidden a small speaker in your house, I just send messages through occasionally.

"Ammiiii, Ammiiiii... this is your head voices speaking... kill, kill, kill, kill..."

I think this is going to be a difficult one to pull off. Given that you have already basically confessed to this killing. And also confessed the fact that you're going to try to frame someone.

To have any chance of success, you'll need to get the same judge & jurors as the Avery trial.

"I did it. I killed them. Here is a detailed explanation of how, why, and when, and also a map to the burial locations of several other anonymous homeless victims that I used for practice."

"We find the defendant NOT GUILTY case dismissed."

Someone apparently did see Theresa leave, a lorry driver that fills his,tank up just outside avery road.

There's also a video on YouTube with one of the police saying zipperers was her last stop instead of averys.

Not sure what to believe tbh

...were these things known through the court case/not called up as witnesses..or is it what has been said after the conviction, do you know..?..

Niamh. 03-02-2016 11:40 AM

It's a pity that they have no way of recovering those deleted Voice Mails, they must be the key, otherwise why bother? :think: Unless they were deleted accidentally of course

Ammi 03-02-2016 11:49 AM

..I'm just having a break or a day or so and then going to start researching online because atm, I don't have any perspective other than Steven's defence side and apart from anything else, it feels wrong to not know more about the victim, they only did that small touching part at the end for her...

Ammi 03-02-2016 11:55 AM

..I was thinking as well that this has been a 'life sentence' for his parents, in and out of courts, fighting for his innocence as they've believed and rightly so the first time and they've done nothing wrong at all...

MTVN 04-02-2016 08:11 AM

Got all through ten eps of this in the last couple of days, one of the most fascinating and disturbing things I've ever seen. Sometimes easy to forget how recently it happened because these small town American sheriff departments being so dodgy and unaccountable is the sort of thing you expect to have been the case back in the 60s or 70s. I'm sorta conscious of relying on the documentary alone to make a judgement though so will have to read up on some stuff later (although I do think the documentary alone shows that neither of the trials were at all fair). In a way I wonder if the film makers should have released it a lot earlier so that it could have come to worldwide attention before they've both rotted in jail for nearly ten years, imagine their chances of a retrial are a lot stronger now and that there's a lot more lawyers/innocence projects interested in taking on the cases.

I agree that Brendan's treatment was more disturbing in many ways as well, especially by his supposed lawyer and that investigator. Seems like his second lawyers for the main trial actually missed quite a few tricks as well; sometimes they seemed really competent but its strange that they agreed to cut the video confession short and that they were never aware of or never made it clear how Brendan was pretty much forced into making that drawing. Or did they present that and they just didn't show it in the documentary?

He is quite clearly not talking about the cat incident. He is talking about the attempted rape. A crime that, legally, and conclusively, was not committed by Avery. Very, very odd. Is the judge suggesting that he WAS involved? Has he simply forgotten that that conviction was overturned? That someone else is in prison for it?

Yeah that got me as well. Saying his crimes got worse as he got older? The guy had only been free two years after spending 18 inside for a crime he hadn't committed, how can you use that as a basis for handing down a longer sentence.

I'm almost caught up with this. I'm surprised I didnt know about this case as I usually find this kind of stuff fascinating and am always a sucker for a good conspiracy theory.:joker:

The theory highlighted in the link is as close to perfect in terms of explaining most of the evidence put forward during the documentary. Particulary the time line of Theresa's murder, the mysterious 'calling in' of the license plate two days before it was officially found, the lack of forensic evidence in the garage or on Averys property and the very shifty nature of Theresa's brother and boyfriend when they first appear in the film. Its still highly implausible that two separate groups of people tried to frame Avery at the same time while being complete unaware of the others efforts, but it all makes the story even more fascinating.

Yeah, good luck actually proving that theory tbh lol but it makes everything fit so perfectly :laugh: I am still mystified though as to why they didn't search all the properties in the Averys land after the car and remains were found there and they'd found no DNA in Steves trailer or garage

Josy 05-02-2016 02:17 PM

Been reading some more stuff I never knew about on the Steven Avery profect fb page...

Someone anonymously sent a letter to the sheriff's office (there's pics of the actual letter) at the start of the investigation telling them the body was burned on the Friday morning at 3am in an aluminium smelter, the Manitowoc officers ignored the letter.

The bullet with the dna on it couldn't actually be confirmed to have come from Steven Avery's gun, they couldn't tell that, due to it being squashed and they were unable to identify the markings on the side of it, all they could tell is it came from 'A' .22. The prosecution decided to say it was definitely identified as Stevens gun.

Scott T was known to be trying to sell a .22 round about this time.

Josy 05-02-2016 02:18 PM

Oh and Scott T apparently had access to an aluminium smelter at work :eek:

Niamh. 05-02-2016 02:19 PM

Scotty t? :o

Josy 05-02-2016 02:20 PM

Theres 2 main fb pages ive been reading, one is run by someone from a neighbouring town and the excused jury member, they discuss allsorts on there.

The other is run by the family with some help, Brendans mum and Stevens niece, they don't allow anyone to discuss the fact that Scott, Bobby have been suspicious throughout.

Niamh. 05-02-2016 02:20 PM

But yeah, if I were to go with any other person doing it, it's him

Yeah I know.

The papers over there must be having a field day though because the other day Brendans mum came on and posted that her husband, son Bobby and her other 2 brothers are not murderers regardless of what the media says

Agree. The scrap yard was huge; easily big enough for the murder to have been committed elsewhere on the property and Theresa body dumped in Steven Avery's burn pit.

Yeah plus there was a few other Avery families living there, his brothers, and Brendans family atleast

Drew. 05-02-2016 02:27 PM

I never did trust Brendans brother in any of this as well. He was so shifty and quick to make it look like Stephen had been up to something.. he was far too suspicious looking.

True. The fact that Bobby Dassey and Scott Tadych alibied each other, no one else alibied them and they didnt alibi any one else but each other. Also, their alibi were a bit too convenient; to happen to pass each other on the road while going on separate hunting trips at the time the murder was being committed? Its all a a bit shifty.

Yeah, i think thats the thing that gets me more than anything.. the fact Stephen was the only target in all of this, however suspicious other people were and even if there were the slightest signs anyone else could have murdered her or been involved there just wasn't any interest in them, It was just Avery they wanted from the start. But then maybe i've just answered my own questions.. all they wanted was Avery.

I almost forgot about that. So much backtracking was done by witnesses on the stand it was hard to believe anyone.

Well it's hard to believe that there wasn't reasonable doubt there, that's for sure
