I'm sure these cases are a dime a dozen.jerparker20 said:If you think this case was fucked up check out the case of Cameron Willingham. At least Avery wasn't executed.

What blows my mind is how a system could be set up so when you file your initial appeals it's done before the same judge that oversaw the initial trial. That seems very counter intuitive.0 -
I'm also interested to hear if thirty's faith in the death penalty has been eroded by watching the american justice system work its magic up close.0

is this your devils advocate position or personal opinion?dignin said:I think we can all agree that the confession that Brandon gave was complete cohersed bullshit. So lets throw the hole rape, stabbing and throat slit scenario right out the window.
So if that didn't happen, there would probably be no blood in Avery's home.
I'm going to play devils advocate here and say Avery is guilty. Maybe another scenario is possible, maybe he followed her out of his property and murdered her elsewhere......you know, in broad daylight. After killing her somewhere else, he brought her body back to the salvage yard in her RAV 4. Explaining her blood being in the back of the vehicle. Somewhere other than the garage and his trailer, he cut her body apart.....and burned her in the bonfire.
I know that whole scenario is a stretch...but it is still more plausible than the official story.
your scenario is not plausible because:
* he would have had to track her down without the means of a vehicle because he would of had to go retrieve the vehicle from where he tracked her down ... wouldn't fit the timeline ...
* plus if he really was in the Rav 4 - he would have left hair fibres and way more dna ... the fact they scrub the car and find his trace in a few specific spots is beyond suspect ...
* the burning in the bonfire i think has also been refuted as not being possible to reduce the bone to that state ...
*There is no real timeline here. The prosecutions timeline was out of whack to begin with. The bus drivers testimony proved that. So we can throw the timeline out, we have no idea what the timeline could be. He could have killed her somewhere and retrieved here body the next day for all we know. There was a lot of time that passed from when she went missing and when her vehicle was found.
*I agree it would be hard not to leave any of his DNA in the vehicle if he got in and was driving it.
*I haven't heard anything about it not being possible for a bonfire to burn her body down to the condition in which it was found. Do you have a link to any of these sources? And did the defense try and make that point in the trial?
ya ... the timeline is out of whack but the primary contention of the prosecution is that he killed her the night or day when she visited ... if there was any evidence pointing to any other scenario involving avery - pretty sure they would have gone down that path than the absurdity of the one they used in the trial ...
if you google the bones and burning ... most experts cast doubt on that segment of evidence ...

If the vehicle was planted there by someone else to implicate Steven they would have just left it there.0 -

When I have the time, I will look into burning bodies.....what a weird thing to say.

Since the vehicle was planted there, they wanted it to look like Avery put it there and as if he tried to hide it.Gern Blansten said:I do wonder why anyone (other than Steven Avery) would have put branches, etc. on the vehicle.
If the vehicle was planted there by someone else to implicate Steven they would have just left it there.
Again, they did it in a most unprofessional way. These few branches do not hide anything, they clearly only make the false impression of someone wanting to hide something.
So it was still possible for the searcher to find the car, surprisingly in just under 20 minutes after entering the property (saying she was led by god).
Avery himself could easily have crushed the vehicle, or placed it somewhere else outside his property.

i just don't buy the impartiality of these shows because as we know - mainstream media's job is to perpetuate the current structure of compliance ... the biggest obstacle to steven avery being released is actually the media attention this case has gotten ...
it's sort of similar to the WM3 where they had to plead guilty for their freedom ... there is no way the justice system will set him free because any admittance of wrongdoing ultimately shows the justice the system for what it is .. which is corrupt and faulty ...
