Episode Synopsis: As episode two ends, Teresa's body is found on the Avery property along with her keys, that just so happen to have Steven's DNA on them. As three begins, he'll find recent friends turned foes as a rush to judgement is in full swing. Now charged with murder, Steve is back in jail as a case mounts against him. The once media darling is now back in his too familiar role as monster. The Avery family buckles down to defend their guy and a community is divided yet again.
Key Players in Ep 3:
Sgt. Colborn & Lt. Lenk
Deputy Daniel Kucharski: Calumet County Sheriff's Dept.
Dean Strang & Jerry Buting: Steven's Lawyers
Robert Hermann: Under Sheriff Manitoc County Sheriff's Department
Brendan Dassy: Steven's Nephew - The accused
Jodi Stachowski: Steven Avery's Girlfriend
Wait, Lt. Lenk & Sgt. Colborn... Not these two mofos again? They found the fucking key??? What in the actual hell are they doing at Mr. Avery's property? And did Deputy Kucharski just testify under oath that the key (a major piece of evidence) found at the Avery residence was not there in prior searches by his department, but suddenly appeared once these two showed up? "The key wasn't there the first time they (the slippers) were moved." "It was actually Lt. Lenk that saw the key first, he pointed to the floor and said there was a key there." - Dpty. Kucharski under oath.
I screamed aloud when I saw that Steven had settled his lawsuit, especially when one of the conditions was as follows: "In exchange for payment, Manitowoc County does not admit fault or liability." Whatever leverage he had, especially because he's in jail, is gone. Didn't his lawyers know what this meant? Never mind the money, once he let the system off the hook his fate was sealed.
"I didn't see them plant evidence with my own two eyes. I didn't see it, but do I understand how human beings might be tempted to plant evidence under the circumstances which the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department found itself..." - Dean Strang. I couldn't agree more. The worst thing that a person can do is to gain a community's trust only to have that trust broken by proving that flawed hero as the liar they thought he was in the first place.
"Some of the DNA evidence at the scene, it's impossible for us to have that type of evidence... you know to... to plant that... it's... it's... not realistic it's impossible."- Robert Hermann. This from an officer that works at the very department that seems to have knowingly sent a man to jail for a crime that he didn't commit while allowing the actual perpetrator to roam free. This certainly isn't Sparta and is indeed madness. The folks at this department come across as arrogant and smug. Later in the series it seems that evidence has been planted in the vehicle. Didn't he say that would be impossible? Did this mother fucker just say; "If he wouldn't have been released, Ms. Halbach would still most likely be here?" Newsflash lawman,18 years of this man's life was wasted in prison, he was proven innocent and you're still talking as if he was actually guilty. So much so that you think this Minority Report and folks should be locked up for crimes you think they might commit in the future.
Brendan, poor Brendan... Listening to the police interrogation of March 6, 2006 it was clear to me that he has learning and comprehension deficiencies. They appeared to be feeding him lines and having him nod in approval after each supposed revelation. As a matter of opinion, I'd say that when they ask him to be honest over and over again, Brendan hears it as tell us what we want to hear and goes about trying to please them to that end. Brendan's coping mechanism seems to be to gain approval of the adults in this situation; to be a pleaser and have this entire affair over and done with. This young man actually confesses to his participation in the murder of Teresa Walbach and says shortly thereafter, "How long is this going to take? Do you think I can get there (back to school) before 1:29?" "I have a project due in 6th hour." - Brendan Dassy. Who in a normal state of comprehension and functioning thinks that life goes on as usual after confessing to a brutal rape and murder? I get that they wanted to get their man, but this is the very definition of low hanging fruit. As his mother comes into the room Brendan discloses to his mother that he made the entire story up because he was tired and the detectives "got in my head." This dude doesn't even know that his CD player isn't a weapon.
When the officer started to put pressure on Steven's girlfriend Jodi, I felt that all hope was lost. She seemed to be the one thing that helped him through this struggle. As they tried to turn her against him, I knew that it wouldn't be long before she severed ties in an effort to save herself.
