I think the focus on whether people believe Avery or Dassey to be guilty is inevitable, but I do think it isn't the point of the documentary. The documentary is to shine a light on the enormous imbala

Just finished watching the whole thing.   I was so upset for Brendan more than anyone, as I truly believe he did exactly as he said he did and made the whole thing up due to the power of suggestion

The Jinx is brilliant.

 

I actually much preferred it to Making a Murderer. Making a Murder seemed a bit padded out towards the end, it didn't feel like it needed 10 hour long episodes, whereas The Jinx worked perfectly over it's six hour timeframe and had that incredible pay off as well.  

 

Plus Robert Durst is the creepiest man alive.

I'd love to have a danger pint with him.

John du Pont runs him close.

 

The Team Foxcatcher documentary on Netflix is worth watching...

Started watching this last night and got through four episodes. Sadly this kind of thing isn't just local to the states. It goes on everywhere. I kept thinking back to that poor man Stefan Kizsco who served 16 years for the murder of Lesley Molseed. He died a year after being released and his mother died before he was aquitted. It seems that some forces would just rather see any person convicted rather than the right person. 

 

This is worth a watch.

Making a Murderer: Court upholds Brendan Dassey conviction

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42291231

What a mess.

 

Gets convicted, appeals against the conviction, gets conviction overturned, then the prosecution appeals against the appeal, and the appeal is overturned.

 

whether he did it or not, the fact that the courts can't even make a consistent decision about what to do with him is a joke. The kid is being fucked over big time, his future is dependent on the roll of the dice that decides who happens to be sat in the room on the day of the appeal hearing.
