Like many people across the country, across the globe even, I have been watching the documentary series Making a Murderer on Netflix. For those that do not know, the 10-part documentary series follows the story of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man who was put in prison for 18 years for a crime he did not commit. After he is exonerated, he is thrown into the spotlight again, this time a suspect in the murder of a young woman. His nephew is subsequently put on trial as well for his involvement in the crime.
The documentary series raises serious questions about police procudures and ethics. It also raises questions on whether Avery is innocent, something he has maintained from day one. The documentary also contains something else...bias.
On every corner of the Internet, it seems people are talking about the documentary. Many of these people are convinced that Avery is innocent, their only proof a documentary that was made for television - for entertainment purposes.
Hundreds of items, documents, etc. were submitted into evidence in Avery's trial. The documentary only focuses on a handful of them.
While it is okay to form your own opinions on whether Avery is guilty or not, people can't really think they are experts now that they watched a documentary with serious bias toward Avery's defense. They can't seriously think they know more than the jury, who heard every single witness, every single piece of evidence presented.
It was made for TV folks. And obviously it made good TV too.
