Making a Murderer Discussion (Spoilers Inside)

[stinybean]

I feel so sad for Brendan! I really feel like he wasn't involved at all based on what the documentary presented. Len his lawyer & the investigator were a total douche bags! Even if you don't believe your client is innocent, your job as a lawyer is to support your client not get information for the prosecution. I was so mad at the investigator when he was with Brendan forcing him to fill out the "sorry" form. Brendan kept giving the same story over and over and yet he kept being called a liar & told to do the right thing and tell the truth.

Even though I just finished watching the series yesterday I kind of want to rewatch it again to see the second & third episode.

I don't know if Steven did murder Theresa or not, but I know that the police were totally shady.

Even if you don't read the whole thread, you should go and find the "spoiler" theories. They're amazing.
I feel exactly like I did when I finished the first season of Serial. I'm pretty sure he did it (but not in the way the prosecution said), but there was no way that he should have been convicted based on the evidence.
I'm also fairly certain that his nephew had little to no involvement. I don't understand how they basically threw out his confession for SA's trial, but still used it to convict Brendan.

I'm only halfway through the series but have read all the spoiler discussion and additional "evidence" on the Internet. I'm extremely disturbed by the obvious corruption in Manitowoc but my gut and some of the evidence leads me to believe Steven (and Brendan under his influence) are guilty.

I'm going to have to find Serial-I actually hadn't heard of it until I saw it being brought up online with people talking about MAM.

My feelings are so conflicted with MAM too! I know that there is so much we don't see with it being a 10 hour show filmed over 10 years. The police definitely had to have been covering something up or staging some things, whether it was just their own mistakes or something more.

I would like to think SA did it for the sake of it being a real case closed for the family, but there is a lot of weird things that just leave me feeling weird. I just don't know what to think. I saw some of the theories on the Parenting thread too that are quite interesting.
