No, I think it's a few key players at the top and everyone else is just following orders in order to remain in their positions of power as well as continue doing god's work by cleansing the gene pool. That is not a joke. The beliefs that Anger and Faley and Shillz keep attempting to disseminate here about Avery's character are how and why he was in jail for 18 years the first time. It's absolutely disgusting to consider that people really believe they have the right to say something like "the gene pool needs to end here" and "some people are just born pieces of ****". It is my opinion that those beliefs combined with the instinct of self-preservation (not losing jobs and assets as a result of the atrocities committed in the first crime) are way, way, way more than enough for me to understand how and why it would come from the top down to make sure he ends up in jail. They have already displayed an extremely low disregard for human and civil rights by purposely ignoring the calls indicating that they probably had the wrong person in jail and letting him rot for 18 years. High ranking officials doubted the DNA results were accurate and admitted YEARS later that they still feel he's guilty of the rape.
From all this we can conclude:
1) When it comes to Steven Avery's case, high ranking officials and LEOs of Manitowoc County hold civil and human rights as well as the law and constitution in very low regard.
2) They will do anything to be "right", including convincing themselves that SA is guilty of raping and attempting to murder PB. This is even after PB, the actual victim says she has doubts about Avery's guilt. This is years upon years after another county advises them they may have an innocent man locked up. This is even almost 20 years after the actual perpetrator that they were warned about and multiple rape and sexual assault convictions, was proven to be the source of the DNA found on PB's genitals the day of the Rape.
3) Those who were told to simply remain quiet, do their jobs don't ask questions, did so. They followed orders. It's extremely reasonable to understand that these exact same people would do as they are told AGAIN, especially when they actually have something to lose if Avery is NOT found guilty.
However, you can't justify Colborn's inactivity by saying "he told his supervisor". You can't say "Lenk had nothing to do with Avery being wrongfully imprisoned". Both knew extremely well who was in prison and what for and that they possibly had the wrong man.
Both were not being truthful in the deposition IMO.
