Hmm well then I don't really think much of his opinion on it tbh because it's clear for anyone to see that there was a lot of dodgy goings on with the evidence leading up to and during the trial, if he thinks Brendan rights were violated then why not mention the evidence against Steven being questionable too?

He may be right about him being guilty.

Well, from what I've read about his comments on it, the only way he thinks some wrong was done in his trial was the fact that Ken Kratz said far too much to the press about Brendan Dasseys statements when Brendan Dasseys version of events was not supposed to be a factor that they were supposed to consider as evidence in Steve Averys case, other than that he thought there was enough evidence to convict Steven.

I don't get that though, if you take away the key, the bullets etc, pretty much any questionable pieces of evidence that Lenk 'found' then what's left that can prove he murdered her without reasonable doubt?

You go back to the main point of having no blood or any dna at all of Theresa's in either of the places she was supposed to have been injured and then murdered.

A DA not seeing any wrong with the evidence during that court case is actually worrying.

Well, the fact that Brendans statement was not part of Steves trial and that Steve was found innocent of the second charge means that they didn't really suggest where he killed her or if he raped her or not just that he was the one who killed her.

I also read somewhere (again I'm not knowing if what I read is true or not) that the reason they're so sure that the pit outside Steves was where the body was burned was because they found wire from the tyres burned there mixed in with her bones. Also, that the bone found in the Quarry was never actually proven conclusively to be Teresas or even 100% certain to be human bone?

Oh also, I read that they did prove that the bullet they found was fired from Steves gun

During one of the trials Kratz mentions she was murdered in the garage, I cant remember if it was Steven or Brendan's trial though but I don't believe for a minute that she was shot in that garage, which is what the bullet evidence is stating I guess? there's no way on earth they could have cleaned that garage and spatter from every item in there without leaving some of it behind, plus the garage floor was dug up too just in case any blood had went through the cracks in the concrete and there wasn't any at all, that plus the fact that it was Lenk that found the bullets after Brendan's statement just further makes it all seem very unlikely IMO.

This is a pic of the wires they say were intertwined with the bones



How can that screwdriver still be there and not melted if that fire was warm enough to burn a human body and completely burn tyres?

That's a genuine question btw

The bullet dna test was the one that was contaminated by Sherry's own DNA.

Agent Fassbender told crime lab analyst Sherry Culhane that she needed to “place Teresa Halbach in the house or garage.” She ran a DNA test on the bullet fragment and the control was contaminated which means the results are to be reported as “inconclusive.” Instead, she reported that Teresa Halbach’s DNA was found on the bullet. Of course, it is impossible to trust this evidence.

Ah ok, I'd forgotten about that actually
