The trial has begun and the defense has to do two things. One is to get another count of kidnapping removed. The other is to make a case against the small town police force. It appears obvious that Steven is being railroaded. Evidence has again popped up at the strangest moment. We've forgotten about Brendan who is in another jail right now. I was thinking how we look down our noses at countries like Russia, but given the chance, we can be just as cruel as those folks. Anyway, as much as they hate to do it, Steven's lawyers are going to have to go after the integrity of the police department. The lawyers for the prosecution are protected by a perception that a small town police department is sacred and to be trusted.

Testing the Evidence

Making a Murderer: Testing the Evidence (2015)
The sixth episode in the series takes place during the trial as the State brings forward their evidence, which at best seems like a frame job. Steven Avery's attorney's get to cross examine the witnesses and it seems clear that someone has it in for Avery.
Once again we're treated to another "mystery" that if you were watching it in a scripted movie you'd end up booing that film off the screen. How on Earth someone would take this evidence to trial and try to pass it off as something legit is rather shocking. Of course, having not known anything of the case until I started to watch this series, I'm still curious how it's going to play out but I'm getting a pretty good idea of what's going to happen. We shall see....

Quite The Mystery

Warning: Spoilers
Steven Avery's Attorney's try to prove Steven Avery's innocence through cross-examination of forensic experts and witnesses. The Attorney's also address the fact that members of law enforcement are proficient at framing people since they investigate crimes where the assailant attempts to hide evidence. Though this is a valid point, I feel it is somewhat misguided. It may be true that theoretically speaking law enforcement could be engaged in corruption, but this phenomenon is relatively rare. Furthermore, anyone with a high school education and a forensic crime scene handbook could commit an impeccable frame job/murder; cops just happen to have the most proficient capacity to do this. Some people also claim that Manitowoc County law enforcement was intentionally conveyed negatively; I'd have to disagree. Law enforcement is infamous for being hostile towards the media. Overall I think this case is quite the mystery. Following the evidence muddies the narrative of Teresa Halbach's murder. It's a decent episode but In my opinion I believe this documentary would've been more effective if it were made into a film. Episodically speaking it only serves to fulfill the last episode which makes every episode before the last hardly re-watchable.
