Default Netflix' Series "Making a Murderer"

Per Unquestionably Confused:
That would/might apply to Dassey(Sp?) but hardly to Avery who continued
to maintain he was innocent.


Yes, I would agree. Although Avery's IQ is also supposed to be about
70 also, his thinking seems much clearer.

Both the prosecution and the defense had an opportunity to make their
case in front of a jury. Only the jury got to see everything that both
sides had. They saw it and they convicted. That counts for a great
deal in our system of justice.


Did you see epi 10?.... My takeaway was that the jury was mostly in
favor of acquittal except for three very stubborn members who had their
minds made up on Day 1.... and those 3 wore down the rest....

If I got that part right, then I have to wonder if it was, perhaps, a
combination of fatigue, wanting to go home, needing to get back to
work, and some gut feeling about Avery rather than a rational decision
based on the two sides' arguments.

Did you watch the interview with his 1st girlfriend?

Either she's some sort of psycho or Avery is a real-live Jekyll/Hyde
character. I'd kind of like to her what her IQ is.... in fact, my
morbid interest would extend to knowing if the whole bunch had
room-temperature IQs and not just Avery and Dassey.
