What about the facts not even brought up in the documentary?
There was non-blood DNA, belonging to Avery, found under the hood (on the latch) of the victim's car? A car he swore he never touched. Not even mentioned in the show.
And that the victim's palm pilot and camera were also found in the burn pile?
That the victim complained to her bosses that she no longer wanted to go out to his property as he met her at the door only wearing a towel?
That the kid, Brendan, had made prior allegations of Steven touching him in a sexual way?
There are dozens and dozens of things like this. I've said it before, I don't know if it amounts to a conviction, but to say there is nothing, no evidence, is disingenuous.
I have a bit of an advantage here because my source of info is the main point of this thread, the documentary itself.
I've mentioned it earlier in the thread that these little nuggets of "things the doc did not show" thrown in here should definitely come with a source.
I've read the same things you have but found they mostly came from journalists in Manitowoc area or Wisconsin itself and were not substantiated nor was he ever convicted of these things.
Palm Pilot in burn pile? I mean, they got her bones into the burn pile, a palm pilot doesn't seem that much more difficult.
DNA on the latch? Oh man, this one is good. So here's the link to the coerced confession by Brendon in March of 2006:

Here's the Columet County officer's statements:
Kratz: "Was Teresa's car hood opened up by Uncle Steve as Brendan says? Well, on Aprll 3, again, as a result of Brendan's statements, law enforcement swabs -- they take a Q-tip and -- and they swab the hood latch, reaching up underneath the hood, just to see if we can get a a DNA profile. Sherry Culhane does. She gets a full profile that's Steven Avery's sweat. Steven Avery's sweat is found on the hood latch, just like should happen if Brendan is to believed that Uncle Steve went under the hood."

Again, this evidence is so obviously tainted. The recorded interview is so ridiculously coerced its unreal. They very obviously get Brendon to say "yeah" as they suggest that his uncle opened the hood. This is after Brendon attempts to guess what they want him to say twice and he gets it wrong. Again this is MARCH. Then Fassbender and Weigert instruct Columet officers where to look for the DNA? DNA discovery is done in APRIL. I mean, come on....Besides, they knew the battery cable was disconnected from day 1. Yet 6 months after the car has been on the police compound as evidence, they decide to check the latch for DNA after a clearly coerced statement? 6 months? Really?
TLDR: March - Detectives use blatant coercing tactics to get Brendon to agree to their suggestion that SA opened the hood.
April - Same detective instruct the Columet County officers where to look for DNA.
Conclusion: Even more proof of planted evidence.
Gotta come stronger than that.
