Hey Pearl Jam - Free the Avery's

Take this on over to the politcal forum. You'll get more discussion. Just hit 'edit' on this thread and move to A Moving Train.

Great thread. I agree. Jumped on board with WM3,why not the Avery's?

Watch the documentary and read the articles. Inform yourselves at the least. I don't know why we are being silent.

Then you would agree to inform yourself about all of the facts in the case?? This documentary is a biased one side of the story film. It might as well have been done by that fat lard Michael Moore! Don't let a documentary made by Joe schmoe stir the ignorant masses! And don't allow these "film makers" to profit off this nonsense! Avery is exactly where he belongs! He's a sick sadistic piece of shit! This case is nothing like the wm3 case!

The White House responds to that Making A Murderer petition

It looks like the White House has finally gotten around to watching Making A Murderer, because it has now responded to that petition we reported on a few days ago about asking President Obama to issue a pardon for Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, the two people at the center of Netflix’s documentary series. The petition’s case for a pardon revolved solely around the evidence provided in Making A Murderer—despite recent reports that it left out a lot of key information, which is sort of a pun if you’ve seen the series—and it referred to the conviction of Avery and Dassey for the murder of Teresa Halbach as “a black mark on the justice system as a whole.” Unsurprisingly, given how much people keep talking about Making A Murderer, the petition managed to gather more than 129,700 signatures in only a few weeks.

Unfortunately for those who signed the petition (and as predicted by people who are familiar with how the law works), the White House has announced that it actually can’t do anything about Avery and Dassey. The official response highlights the work President Obama has done to try and improve the United States’ criminal justice system and it offers some information on how pardons work, but the important bit is that “the President cannot pardon a state criminal offense.” Avery and Dassey were convicted by the state of Wisconsin, making them state prisoners, so Obama can’t pardon them. If the petition signers really want these pardons, then, they’ll have to work at the state level and appeal to the better nature of Wisconsin’s governor...so, yeah, good luck with that.

That’s not all that’s going on in the world of Steven Avery-related stories, though. As reported by Deadline, Investigation Discovery has given in to the jealousy it must be feeling these days and announced a Steven Avery special of its own. Titled Front Page: The Steven Avery Story, it sounds like it will specifically highlight the information that was left out of Making A Murderer and “provide critical, crucial evidence and testimony that will answer many questions surrounding Steven Avery.” In other words, Investigation Discovery really wants all the people talking about Making A Murderer to watch this show, and then maybe they’ll also stick around and watch some other shows about murder.

...

If the President of the USA can't do anything about this, the members of Pearl Jam can't do anything about it either.

I've got the post where it needs to be - Pearl Jam helped the WM3. I hope they hear and see that there site has people asking them to join the support. I know that you are all laughing. Pearl Jam gave and still gives me hope. As for the "guilty" I understand there is evidence missing and I understand the petition wasn't going to work. All I'm saying is let the men get a fair trial at the State Supreme Court. If that doesn't convince the jury then they must be guilty and it'll be the end.

Feel free to post it where ever u want
But as some other members said u get more attention and will have more talk with others in AET or AMT forums and not in porch
Plus there are people at those forums,who read and posts with experience and law knowledge so u get a better specific talk about the whole
The thing is the unjustice here and not if the band can or will help or not
