This was the first thing I’ve consumed in the genre of people who may be wrongly incarcerated/who done it that has blown up in recent years. Have since listened to Serial, Up and Vanished, watched many other things including my favorite, the fictional, The Night Of. I decided to go back and watch again.
Some thoughts:
Lenk and Colborn are just so GD shady. There was an active law suit against them by Steven Avery and they are all over the compound and found the key on the 67th or so time they searched the bedroom. These two guys should not have been anywhere near this place.
The key itself is weird. Just the car key and the fob? No house key? No key chains? Looks like a spare key an ex-boyfriend, brother, or roommate would have access to.
Don’t police typically look to partners/ex-lovers/family members first? Her ex is the most suspicious person on the planet! He stages this whole search? For his exgirlfriend? Deflection. Of the hundreds of cars on the compound he sends those people directly to the RAV4. He goes into her voicemail and deletes the threatening messages he left her( my speculation but still). You can see his demeanor and body language change when he’s questioned by the state and then the defense. IMO he did it. There are other suspects too, though.
Even if Avery did it (I’d say 20% chance) from what we saw (of course the show doesn’t show everything, especially not stuff that damns Avery) there is NO WAY you can convict him based on what is presented.
Given all the stuff about Kratz that later came out, I wanna barf every time his disgusting little voice calls Teresa a “beautiful 25 year old girl.” He slips up and says “...murdered this little girl, I’m sorry young woman...”
Brendan’s first lawyer may be the lamest person ever.
