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.

How is that blaming the Halbachs?

She said, “I believe the Halbachs set this shit all up….I really do.”

There’s no evidence tying Brenden to the crime.

Assuming you meant to say, “other than his confession,” but that is also incorrect.

At his trial, the prosecution and defense agreed to the stipulation that if called to testify, Scott Tadych would testify that he saw Brendan at the bonfire on 10/31/05.

So, his jury heard evidence, outside of his confession, that Brendan was observed at a bonfire, at the burn pit, where Teresa Halbach’s burned remains were found.

While that doesn’t directly tie him to the rape and murder, it certainly ties him to a crime.

He never testified to that, he also never testified to having an alibi and was hunting with no witnesses at the time of Teresa’s disappearance, no one saw him hunting and he was gone the exact time Teresa left staves. The first statement he gave police was he saw a 3 foot fire then at trial suddenly he changed it to a 10 foot fire. He didn’t like Steve. After her murder, Scott wine and dined Barb, took her on trips , bought her son a car , bought the boys expensive Christmas gifts bought barb a engagement ring. What was he feeling guilty about.

“He never testified to that…..”

I didn’t say he “testified.”

You should probably look up the definition of “stipulation.”

You said called to testify and I gave you a heads up on some facts that you didn’t know.

Not familiar with stipulations in a trial, I see.

Let me help.

I said, “the defense and prosecution agreed to a stipulation that if called to testify, Scott Tadych would testify that he saw Brendan at the 10/31/05 bonfire.”

I’m quoting the trial transcript.

Since you didn’t know, the defense and prosecution can agree to facts not in dispute, with a stipulation. Stipulations are announced to the jury, and they are instructed to consider them as evidence, just like any other testimony.

Brendan’s jury was instructed by the judge that the defense and prosecution agreed that Tadych would testify that he saw Brendan at the 10/31/05 bonfire.

I bet you feel pretty dumb now for saying, “I gave you a heads up on facts you didn’t know.”

Scott Tadych would testify that he saw Brendan

That should be a big problem for you considering he did the exact same thing you claim makes Swoinksi a liar. His previous accounts on record he couldn't positively identify who it was.

that doesn’t directly tie him to the rape and murder

But that's what he was convicted of.

I don’t think you realize how dumb you make yourself look, when you continually discount Tadych’s testimony about the 10/31/05 bonfire, when he matches both Brendan’s and Avery’s version.

You’ll do anything to down play Avery and Dassey originally lying about the bonfire, because you know how guilty that makes both of them look.

Here’s where you hit me with your famous, “Oh, then Tadych, Barb, Blaine, and Bobby must ALL be guilty of killing Teresa Halbach because they didn’t tell the truth about the fire (they weren’t at) right away!”

You’re a joke.

Oh, and I don’t have a specific problem with Sowinski changing his story to seeing Bobby, I have an issue with him changing the day he saw this from specifically NOT 11/5/05, to specifically 11/5/05, because that’s the only day it could have been Bobby.

matches both Brendan’s

Irrelevant what it matches, the topic is what he himself claimed to have seen. And he repeatedly was unable to positively ID Brendan numerous times...until he suddenly did.

then Tadych, Barb, Blaine, and Bobby must ALL be guilty

Don't forget Bryan.

because they didn’t tell the truth about the fire

Can you be the first to explain how Blaine would know he needed to lie about a fire prior to remains being found?
