Most people, I suspect don't know if Avery was involved but clearly know his trial was unjust and most people think Dassey is completely absurd.
When legitimate questions can be raised in the way and manner evidence was collected and with the competency of those involved reasonable doubt is not even a stretch. That is what is so dumb about this case. It is not like people are nitpicking. What happened here was an egregious tragedy driven by ego and gross incompetence. So it's not like we are arguing a 51/49'case.
But since three of you have no rational basis other than "police good" the thread continues to grind into nonsense. However it is entirely disingenuous for you to act like most people here are crying innocent or frame job. Pretty much everyone is agreeing that it was a miscarriage of justice because gross negligent mistakes, incompetence and perhaps intentional deception marred literally every single level of the investigation.
None of you three still understand reasonable doubt. It's absurd your positions along with you knowledge and understanding of the law have not progressed even a tiny amount in this whole process.
That you guys think the way this investigation was run was ok or standard has always been ludicrous. Nothing about that has ever changed. There is nothing legitimate or normal, for an above board law enforcement agency, in this entire process. Yet you guys remain the three blind mice and keep acting like a base position of the way this unfolded being okay is even a little rational.
But here's the thing. If you have reasonable doubt of guilt it means you believe there is a reasonable probability of Avery's innocence. There is pretty much no way Avery is innocent unless there was some an elaborate conspiracy involving planting blood, planting car keys, planting bones, faking DNA and EDTA tests, covering up evidence of the real killer, and so on.
I don't necessarily think that anyone is arguing that there weren't mistakes made in the investigation. However I think the points people are arguing are the following:
1. In any case of sufficient complexity, you will be able to find irregularities if you go through it with a fine toothed comb. If it wasn't two detectives who were deposed in Avery's civil suit, it would have been a detective with a drinking problem, or an evidence tech who once got into a bar fight with Avery's brother, etc.
2. If anything, the irregularities reported (in the police's own documentation), are signs of a lack of pervasive corruption in the investigation. Certainly in the finance world one of the red flags of fraud is records that appear too clean, with few or no mistakes. I would imagine it would be similar in criminal cases.
And finally,
3. Whatever irregularities there were do not raise sufficient doubt to acquit Avery of murder.
