The only thing the viewer can be subjectively certain of is that the investigative work was very poorly done.
I think that it's extremely easy to see that he is clearly not guilty of this based on common sense and probabilities. I feel anyone taking a "middle of the road" approach just hasn't researched enough about the facts of the case or is too weak-minded or lack enough responsibility to be able to except the fact that the cops framed Steven Avery for a murder he did not commit.
I think the familial hierarchies, power and affluence that exist in this county were going to be massively shaken up as a result of S.A. winning his lawsuit. I think MINIMALLY the MC Sheriff's department would be forced to fire some people over this including Lenk and Colborn. There is just no denying their jobs and reputations were at risk, if not the personal assets of themselves and/or their friends and partners...all at the hands of a god damn Avery? The current regime was never going to let that happen. They've gone unchecked since the beginning of time with virtually no repercussions to any crimes or violations they committed. It took 10 years of filming one of the more laughable jokes of an investigation this country has ever seen in order to get at least a few people to open their eyes a bit. Again, if no MaM, SA and BD and this entire case would be long ago forgotten and buried.
The Crime Lab is coming more into focus now but I don't think we've seen the full scope of just how much of a factor this lab and it's personnel were in landing an innocent man in jail. Sherry Culhane has become the go to person when you need a conviction. There's just no way a detective should be able to call in and request specific results. It's just starting to become obvious that they were probably as guilty and culpable for this as the rest.
When this is all over, 20 years from now, this case will be an absolute joke and the key, the bullet and the car will be the most obvious pieces of planted evidence we've ever seen. I just don't understand how you can believe ONE of these pieces of evidence is legit, let alone all three.
