| Mike Kinzel - Reporter Manitowoc |
"Around here the feeling is, Steven Avery got what he deserved. He is where he belongs, back behind bars for the rest of his life." - Mike Kinzel. Let's think about the coldness of that statement. I wouldn't have an issue with it at all if he said behind bars, but back I take exception to. Back presupposes his guilt in the first case. You know, the rape case for which he spent 18 years, only to be proven innocent of. It just seems that this community has always seen Steven Avery as deserving what he got the first time and perhaps that's what shapes this opinion today? There's really no way of telling.
"I went down there with the thought that I could be a blessing to him, and it turned out that he was a blessing to me." - Sandy Greenman. I'm happy that he has someone to pull for him as he prays for another chance to prove his innocence.
"In 85 they only took my brother away, for something he didn't do. And they knew it. And now they took my brother away and my son. If Steven would have did it I think he would have confessed by now... I believe he's still innocent and I know my son is innocent." - Barb Tadych. What other choice does she have but to believe it? It happened before, surely it could happen again. I really do believe that the Avery's think that the town has it out for them. I'm not so sure that I'd feel any different, given the same circumstances.
Request for a new trial:
" Every attorney in this country owes a duty of loyalty to their clients, that's part of the constitutional right to council and what happened in this case is that Attorney Kachinsky took steps to essentially coerce Brendan into pleading guilty. And we argued that Attorney Kachinsky's behavior is intolerable... And that Brendan should get a new trial." - Laura Nerdier.
"This kind of cooperation between a defense investigator and the prosecution is unheard of. So in a sense they were working for the prosecution." - Steven Drizin
The waters are once again becoming murkier and murkier as I'm listening to O'Kelly on the stand, particularly when he tears up again and again over the blue ribbon. Come on man, get it together and tell your fucking story. The tears only make me believe that you are trying to come across as someone that desperately wants to be painted as one that needs our sympathy, instead of our contempt. Especially once I recall your, give a little love give a little anger tactic that you used on Brendan when you interviewed him. Ninja please.
"I am learning the Avery family history and about each member of the Avery family. These are criminals. There are members engaged in sexual activities with nieces, nephews, cousins, in laws. Customers or their relatives unwittingly become victims of their sexual fantasies and thus are being victimized. This is truly were the devil resides in comfort. I can find no good in any member, these people are pure evil. A friend of mine suggested this is truly a one branch family tree. Cut this tree down. We need to end the gene pool here." - Michael O'Kelley. And this is the mofo that is supposed to help defend you. This dude sounds like Hitler trying to eradicate an entire family. Wow is all I can say to any of this, oh and judge not lest ye be judged.
Ruling - Request for a new trial denied...
Ken Kratz seeks treatment for drug dependence and sexual addiction. In Oct 2010 he resigns from office... Noteworthy are the allegations from at least 5 women and the contents of some of the alleged text messages.
Watching Steven's father as he shows off the contents of his garden and then limps off, has me in tears. For he and his wife to have to listen to the things that were said about the Avery family, after watching their son and grandson being locked away was a type of victimization that no one, not directly responsible (or thought responsible) for the death of Teresa Halbach should be forced to endure, but they seem to being doing what they can to stay positive and fruitful. My heart goes out to them if they are what they appear to be in this film. My heart definitely goes out to the Halbach family. No matter who is responsible for her death, they will never get her back. This situation is sad on every level possible.
"When you know your innocent, you will keep on going. The truth always come out, sooner or later." - Steven Avery.
