More episodes ordered.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Sure, I'm up for more stuff. :up:

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

I dunno about additional episodes. Sounds like they'll cover some of the same stuff we already know about. New attorneys, okay, but what about new evidence? How will they make this compelling to watch?

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

They made infinite phone calls and repetitive interviews compelling to watch, and culled good highlights from a very lengthy trial. I'm sure they can edit a follow up and make it compelling.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

I'll at least watch it. We'll have to wait and see if they're doing this because there's more story to tell or they just want to throw something out with that title to make money. From what I've seen, while it is "renewed" there has been no announcement as to schedule or number of episodes. So far, all they've said is the new lawyers are making themselves available to the filmmakers. In a perfect world, Netflix has provided some funds for the filmmakers to do the filming and everyone involved will be a bit patient and not rush out a release until there's enough subsequent footage to really update the story.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

My hats off to them if they do that. I'll watch but I want less "oh that was interesting" to more "dang, I wonder where this is leading up to?"

I knew next to nothing about the case with the first series so I was glued to the show watching everything unfold.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Yessssss.

Yessss!!!!!

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

So does Avery's get thrown out as well since the "confession" was most of their case. I bet the state will retry him just to continue covering their ass.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Actually none of the "confession " was actually used in the Avery case. There was a reason those crooked prosecutors waited until after the Avery case was over before they tried Dassey.
That said the prosecutor did poison the juror pool with Dassey's story in the press before Steven Avery's trial.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

That is very good news. AND about time. It was sickening how he was treated.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Yea exactly what Decker said. They didn't use it in Steve's trial becuase they made up an entirely different version of events for both trials, which is legally fine but I for some reason have a big issue with that honestly. If Justice is the goal how does making up two different version of the same event get to that really.

What they did to Dassey was on whole other level to Steve's case though. That kid got fucked by the system big time. In the end both did because I don't believe either one got fair trial.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Sad to think he was in prison for almost 10 years. Convicted in 2007, I believe?

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

I'm kind of pissed that they're keeping him in prison for another 90 days while they try to decide if they're going to prosecute him again.
Let the poor dumb kid out today and put him on parole for now, even if you have to put an ankle bracelet on him. Not like he's a flight risk since he has 10 years served for a crime he didn't commit and is now looking at exoneration.

Just think of all the video games he has to catch up on...

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

His lawyer needs to shut up. He's only making his eventual disbarment and civil lawsuit against him worse.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

No, police often tell someone that another party confessed, even if they didn't, and it's perfectly legal.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Now I'm reading that the WI prosecutor will consult with Hallenbach's family on whether to retry Dassey? What the total fuck? He has nothing to do with this. What evidence are they going to proceed on? And you consult with non-lawyers thirsting for vengeance (who probably planted the evidence in the first place) have a call in this? This is totally horse shit. This is what you get from a state that gives you one free license to practice with every law degree, no bar exam required!

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Its not so much about evidence at this point as much as it's about admitting that the states court system (up to their supreme court) mishandled this thing at every level feasible. To not retry him is basically to admit the ineptitude of their legal system and you can be assured that that level of bad press will cost the Wisconsin AG his job. They will retry him or the AG will say something about sparing the Halbach family the pain of another trail. It's really that simple.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Also a state who wants Scott Walker as their governor, so, yeah.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Any prosecutor that recommends retrial should be disbarred. You have an ethical duty not to bring cases where there is not sufficient evidence. There is NO evidence Dassey was involved at all. I think the Justice Dept. needs to take this case over. WI has proved they are only good at making good cheese and fat women.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Michael Griesbach, a prosecutor involved when Avery's original rape conviction was overturned, is releasing a book called "Indefensible: The Missing Truth about Steven Avery, Teresa Halbach and 'Making a Murderer'" on Aug 30.

He claims the filmmakers left out key evidence, and even manipulated testimony:

He previously released a book called "The Innocent Killer" about Avery:
