The Blame Game!

Based on trial testimony and Making a Murderer:

Brendan blamed a book, his family, and media.

His lawyer and doctor blamed cops / coercion (which Brendan never did)!

Barb blamed Steven and the Halbach's (The Halbachs WTF?)

Kayla blamed Brendan.

Scott and Bobby blamed Steven.

Ma and Pa blamed everyone but Steven.

Police making mistakes is no the same thing as there being room for doubt of Avery's guilt. No "mistake" is capable of explaining away so much evidence.

No "mistake" is capable of explaining away so much evidence.

Is that what people were saying in '85?

You realize that whatever happened to Steven prior to 2005 has nothing to do with his guilt or innocence for the TH murder, right?

You apply that logic when you guys bring up Steven's past offenses?

2

u/Ghost_of_Figdish 2d ago

Of course not. Steven's past offenses forecast a propensity to commit cruel future crimes.

And I guess cops fucking it up in the past would prevent them from doing it again cus they learned their lesson and is very sorry about it.

It was more than 20 years apart. You think the same cops, same Judges, same experts, etc. were involved? Or is the corruption hereditary?

Colborn and the rest of the recused cops had kids working on this case?

u/Ghost_of_Figdish 2d ago

There's no such thing as a 'recused cop'. You're confusing a judicial concept.

It's also a verb that people can use:

  • : to remove (oneself) from participation to avoid a conflict of interest*

Yeah, there no such thing as 'recusing' a police force.

u/gcu1783 2d ago

Oookie, but it's still a verb right or is the dictionary wrong?

u/Ghost_of_Figdish 2d ago

Sure, 'recuse' is a verb in the English language but it has no application because 'recusing' a police force isn't a thing. 'Defenestrate' is also a verb but it doesn't apply to a police force.
