the Coburn license plate call is the smoking gun for the defense as far as I'm concerned, I'm surprised nothing more came of that whole angle
i really thought that would stir things up a bit more as well. despite how there was supposedly evidence against him that didn't get mentioned in the film, there was a lot more evidence that should have made his case stronger. all of the evidence in that tmz link is hardly evidence at all when its all coming from the prosecutor's mouth with no statements coming from the actual people that are being quoted such as teresa's boss or his fellow inmates from prison. nope, just quotes from kratz's mouth who ended up losing his job for being corrupt the same as how the cops in the last case had. when the judge was about to give him his life sentence he said that it was obvious that steven avery had committed the crime based on his criminal past. now, how do you come to that conclusion when you obviously know that he was proven innocent after serving 18 years??? that's not a criminal past, it's a very unjust past. they also said that she was murdered in the shed but, his nephew 'confessed' that he raped her in the bedroom and then slit her throat (in the bedroom)??
here are the main things about this trial that just don't make a bit of sense to me :
1. (as already mentioned here) there was not a drop of her blood anywhere on his property or on his or his nephew's clothes. even though she was supposedly shot at close range i believe 8 times?
2. he had a lawsuit going against the city for being wrongfully accused in his last case and was yet to receive any of the money. a multi million dollar lawsuit against a small town in wisconsin.
3. the two cops who offered themselves up to be in charge of searching his home somehow forgot to mention that they had just lost their jobs a few weeks ago for doing some crooked shit in the last case involving the SAME guy, steven avery. by crooked shit i mean they received information that he was innocent 8 years before he was finally realeased and they didn't share that information with anyone.
4. they only searched steven avery's home and belongings and they never searched teresa halbach's home, the home where she lived with a guy who hadn't reported her missing for 3 whole days.
5. her brother and her ex boyfriend somehow just guessed her password and username and went into her voicemail, deleting some messages while she was missing. messages that may have given clues as to her whereabouts or what had happened to her. why the fuck would you ever delete a missing person's voicemails??? your sister's voicemail at that.
those are just 5 strange and unexplainable facts that come up in this 10 episode series that is full of strange and unexplainable facts. we obviously can't say that he did or did not do it but, i think the evidence points toward the latter. even if he had done it i think that the main point in this program was to show that he never had a chance at a fair trial to begin with. also that our justice system is fucked as we already know that it is. good watch though.
