Yes. but on one hand you say 'like she didn't have her own valid opinion' yet the LE gave her many many hours away from him to form her own valid opinion/s. You can't have it both ways. They didn't let them both go off together on their own merry way - even though they were both adults and...

Exactly. They did all that was in their powers to do. GB and PL were adults - LE cannot and should not be expected to babysit them. It's simply impossible. To do this would require LE staff numbers to increase at least 7 fold. Impossible.

I don't really blame LE. Hindsight is the easiest thing in the world to jump to when making conclusions after the fact. I actually thought they played everything by the book. They couldn't arrest anybody - however they made the most sensible suggestion to split the two people apart for the...

I didn't get that impression from that post. Tell me your take on it. I'm intrigued now. :innocent:

If anybody's really really seriously interested in contentious trials or anything similar, please PLEASE avoid anything that has the name Nancy Grace associated with it. I wouldn't like to make fun of it but Nancy Grace is crap TV - we in the UK have Jeremy Kyle ffs. We deserve more sympathy...

Who knows? You raise a very good point. It naturally gives cause for concern. It doesn't really matter who decided the guilt or innocence of this trial. That doesn't quantify absolute guilt or innocence. The nature of trial by jury is absolutely based on opinion, it has been, and always will be...

No, I'm afraid it doesn't. I've explained this previously. Engine does 'not' need to be removed. The only reason the tyres/fluids/battery etc. are removed are for environmental/recycling reasons. That car could have been crushed immediately - therefore this issue should remain well and truly...

To add to the things that don't make sense :- Car crusher readily available yet car parked, hidden with amateurish camouflage items. Car key allegedly kept in bedroom, when complete disposal or removal would have been entirely simple. Leg-irons that were allegedly used to restrain TH kept on...

Here's a bit if useful info. regarding the bullet/EDTA detection methods... http://chadsteele.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/some-clarity-to-some-of-evidence-in.html?m=1

That's certainly a possibility. I'm leaning towards a few LE officers using the victim as an opportunity to frame SA, (purely from the evidence and information I've seen so far), however I have got reservations regarding a possible intentional murder by LE officers. I couldn't say it never...

Even more baffling is the State's reasoning for not finding any of Steven Avery's fingerprints in the car... 'because he must have used gloves'. Okay, so he was clever enough to be 'gloved up' to eliminate any traces of prints within the vehicle, but luckily for the prosecutors he must have wore...

Yes, I know it was fed to him by the investigators. My point is that there is no evidence to suggest a sexually motivated crime. The people who benefit from the inclusion of a sexually motivated charge are the prosecutors, as this reinforces public opinion to believe that Kratz and co. were...

I'm not of the agreement that Steven Avery's motive was sexual assault, certainly not based on the evidence supplied by the State. Without Brendan's unreliable confessions, the story they offer of what happened to Teresa before she was murdered is simply what it is...a story. There isn't a...

I'd like to add a little something regarding the State's idea that the RAV4 was 'waiting' to be crushed. In fact, it would probably have been quicker for Steven Avery to crush the car than it would have been to locate the ludicrous camouflage items that were covering the vehicle. There was a...

I think the logical evaluation of this trial at the moment isn't really about determining who the guilty party is, but more about whether Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey were tried fairly, and in accordance with constitutional law. The failings or inadequacies of a small state police force...

It's extraordinary how tape recorders become faulty at such times of importance. And equally as extraordinary is how law enforcement don't feel the need to have a backup machine :facepalm:

'Cadaver dog' is really quite a general term. It doesn't tell us enough about the specific qualities of the dog used at the scene of crime to determine whether it should be easier to hit on a drop of blood than a buried corpse. Some cadaver dogs are trained more specifically to detect cadavers...

I agree with this, and this has become a source of conflict between Steven Avery's lawyers and Judge Willis. Steven Avery wished to introduce other possible persons that may have been responsible for Teresa's murder, however Judge Willis barred SA's lawyers from introducing evidence that a...

I've seen test results for cadaver dogs but only with a minimum quantity of 0.01 ml of blood. This would be the approx. equivalent of an inch square cloth soaked with blood. A complete .22 bullet is much narrower than this (and I believe the partial lead fragment retrieved was smaller...

If we believe that Brendan was never in the trailer, then the idea that Teresa was raped and stabbed in the trailer by Steve falls apart. There's not been a shred of convincing evidence received from inside of the trailer. The main basis of the State's claim of rape is built upon Brendan's...
