According to Wikipedia, Peterson was released having paid his debt to society.

------------

On February 24, 2017, Peterson entered an Alford plea (a guilty plea whereby a defendant admits guilt because sufficient evidence exists to convict him of the offense, but the defendant asserts innocence) to the voluntary manslaughter of Kathleen Peterson. The judge sentenced him to a maximum of 86 months in prison, with credit for time previously served. Because Peterson had already served more time than the sentence (98.5 months), he did not face additional prison time.

Just read a bit on Staircase and recalled from the podcast as well that the state’s blood spatter “expert” was eventually exposed as a fraud and fired fwiw

Especially since the accused was sleeping with the editor

Regarding Staircase vs MaM, here's a great explanation from a redditor who has researched both cases in depth:

Interesting...

"Netflix could rinse and repeat, do this every 3 years... "

That's a pretty cynical and stinging backhand at the justice system in the USA.

"I recognize that exposing injustice from the state's side (e.g., Deaver) is a positive outcome of these programs..."

I agree with this important point.

Exposing injustice on the part of the state is always going to be important in a democracy, where an informed citizenry is vital.

ymmv

Dassey planted it.

Which Dassey?

Considering the crime scene was secured by LE, when and how did this Dassey plant it?

There is, its been a while since ive looked at the photos but there is a coat hanging on a door near the slippers. One theory I heard was that the keys fell out of the pocket of the coat when the coat was removed from the door during the search.

If the key is lodged in the back of the shelves backboard its easy to see how the key could have fallen out of the back while being moved around and fallen on top of the slippers.


This is quote mining. As he goes on:

Kratz:"is that in the sense that anything is possible"

Kurchaski: "thats in the sense that its possible aliens put it there I guess"

Clearly Kurchaski was saying its possible in a Cartesian doubt sort of way.


Either way all of this is sort of avoiding the question that it doesnt make sense for a key to be planted on the second trip to averys room. Oddly enough, the more times the same member of LE enters the room the less likely it becomes the key was planted in the way it was discovered.

I think this was House Nuts attempt at humor. Were just supposed to go LOL Fraley or something.

Well, every conspiracy theory presented ITT can be considered a joke, but I don't think the theorists have been in on it.

While that is an interesting theory, there is no evidence that key was ever in Steven's coat.

It may be easy for you to imagine the key somehow falling out of the back of the shelf and somehow bouncing to the side. My imagination isn't so vivid.

As it is we have no evidence the key was ever on those shelves either.

I'm quoting the relevant material. Kurchaski admits he was not watching what Lenk & Colburn were doing, as he was supposed to be doing.

Why was Kurchaski babysitting them? Because of the admitted conflict of interest due to Steven's lawsuit against their department.
The obvious question is whether Kurchaski observed any aliens in the room when the key suddenly materialized on the floor.

Is there anyone who thinks aliens planting the key is equally likely as humans planting the key? Then why not think aliens abducting Teresa is equally likely?

I disagree.

As I have already pointed out there is no reason to assume Colburn & Lenk must have had the key in their possession during the search on the 5th.

^^ Jasus...

You realize this is a hyperbole right? Do you actually think "aliens planted the key" is a viable theory in his mind?

To be fair, "aliens planted all the evidence" is one of the more viable "Avery was framed" theories out there.

For some reason a law enforcement officer testifying under oath in a murder trial tried to make a joke to cover up for his utter incompetence.

Kucharski was supposed to be keeping an eye on Colburn & Lenk so that they wouldn't do something hinky.

He takes his eyes off them for a minute, and the next thing you know the magic key suddenly appears out of nowhere.

So barb handed over the computer hard drive to K.Z. Lets see what Mr Hunt can find.

Yeah...

Apparently the state was interested enough in this computer to hide the report they did on it before the trial years ago, and interested enough to seize it a second time during this round of appeals.

We now know that one of the suspects was addicted to violent rape and murder porn (unlike Steven Avery).

So we have a big advantage over the juries with all the additional evidence.

Yep we just gotta be patient as Zellcat said...in March. Of 2017. Any day now...

And also told Barb to "get rid of it" ,apparently.

I seem to remember that steven's computer had no such illicit images on it of any kind...

And if it is what you say it is, then there will be a lot of evidence on that computer.

Exculpatory evidence that will totally clear Cuddly Bear's name. The Zellnami is coming just wait. (and wait and wait...)

Zellcat lying again

Both Mario Casciaro & Ryan Ferguson had their convictions vacated & neither were exonerated or found innocent when the convictions were vacated.

It doesn't seem like the local law enforcement can't do anything without acting in a way that betrays consciousness of guilt.
That fact certainly points up something interesting about this case and the way the state mishandled inculpatory evidence about their star witness.

What's already been revealed is bad enough. It's entirely possible there is more to come.

Ticktock.
