I think Teresa's brother's fixation on Avery/Dassey being responsible is natural in that if that's what the prosecution are telling them, of course they're going to want to believe them, because they want justice for Teresa and they want to believe justice was being done... but, and bearing in mind the show is obviously biased in Steve Avery's favour, the gaping holes in evidence presented in the trial would have surely been enough to sway you into not being totally sure even if you were hell bent on believing Avery did it? I get that perhaps the need to believe it was Avery was always going to trump any evidence to the contrary in his mind, but it was bordering on obsessive in some of the interview clips of him speaking to the media - I mean saying that Brendan Dassey was blatantly lying on the stand and all this stuff... anyone with eyes could see that that boy hasn't a clue what's going on and is seriously mentally handicapped, I don't think he'd be capable of setting up a cleverly constructed web of lies, Jesus Christ...
