That's an appearance of impropriety in and of itself. What those police did to that 16 year old kid was beyond repugnant. I could have never found Avery guilty beyond a reasonable doubt...but the real tragedy (obviously also the death of a young woman) is how Branden was treated. The force feeding of his "confession" was deplorable. His original attorney was just as culpable in the whole thing. Just hard to wrap my head around the fact that this occurred less than 10 years ago.
Thanks for the clarification regarding guilty. What I was trying to convey is that I believe Avery committed the crime.

There are a lot of good articles out there discussing the items that were omitted. If you can recall the attractive, female reporter with the glasses - she's actually now a reporter for WKRC - she indicated on her Twitter that some glaring evidence wasn't discussed.

The whole conflict of interest aspect did blow me out of the water.

I think a lot of it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The series was so incredibly biased, but I can understand why, it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining if the other side of the story was more heavily focused.

It was a tough pill to swallow, but it became somewhat more palatable once you start digging into everything that was left out.
