Regarding Avery's trial, I've made a rough spectrum of how I view people's reactions after watching MaM. I believe only #5-7 are reasonable reactions (with 4 and 8 tolerable); I've firmly stated my position at #7 on this spectrum.
The key issue to me is realizing the limits of our knowledge.
Serious question: what do you think is the range of reasonable reactions here and where do you stand on this spectrum?
- Avery’s definitely innocent! Obama pls pardon asap
.
- Avery’s definitely innocent! Walker pls pardon asap
.
- Idk about Avery, but I’d definitely find him not guilty in the trial, I demand a retrial now!
.
- Idk about Avery, but I’d definitely find him not guilty in the trial, I hope he can prove his innocence
.
- I think Avery is definitely innocent, but this is just based on a Netflix show and cursory research, so I’m not sure what I’d do as a juror because I don’t know everything the jury did

"I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know." -Wikipedia
(note: I made this pretty quickly, so I'm sorry if you don't think your reaction is represented)
