Episode Synopsis: As the trial begins, Steven's lawyers set out to prove that law enforcement officials framed him and were negligent by not pursuing other leads.
Key Players in Ep 5:
Bobby Dassey - Brendan's Brother
Ryan Hillegas - Teresa's ex boyfriend
Scott Bloedorn - Teresa's roommate
Pamela Sturm - Teresa's Cousin
Andrew Coborn - Deputy Sheriff's Department
I'm just going to hit on several points that I find as both key and peculiar. 1) Someone has told Steve that a cop planted the car on his property. Now the headlights on the road the day before the car is discovered makes sense. 2) On the day that the car is found on Avery's property a detective (Jacobs) calls dispatch to ask if a body is found and once he finds out that there's been no such discovery, asks if Mr. Avery is in custody, thirty minutes after they found the car? Sounds like a rush to judgement already to me. 3) I'm skipping over Bobby's testimony, he'd do anything to save his brother Brendan. Besides, the reporters do a great job at seeing how crazy that part of the shit show was. 4) The ex boyfriend, Ryan... How did this guy escape suspicion? Statics show that most violent crimes such as rape or murder are committed by someone that the victim knows. I'm not saying that he did it, but I'm anxious to know why he or the roommate were not considered, at least to be ruled out. Wait did dude get special privileges to get access, that the general public didn't have to Steven Avery's property? This dude's been deputized and shit. Gotta love these yahoos. Or not! 5) The plot thickens as Scott, Teresa's roommate (that didn't bother to report her as missing for a few days) lends the only person that's headed to Avery's Salvage yard a camera. Noteworthy is the fact that this is the only person out of the search party that's given a camera and she's (Pamela Sturm) the one that happens to be heading to the Avery's Salvage yard. On this day of all days, the day that they have a camera. Low and behold the RAV 4 is found. Go figure... I won't even talk about that clandestine ass call that the department makes as a change of plans. Come on man, this is too crazy to be true at this point. 6) Pamela Sturm was characterized as weird by the defense lawyers. Maybe it's the fact that in a town full of mofos that gives no fucks about speaking the King's English, she "came upon" the RAV 4? Oh you fancy huh? At any rate it seems that she was fed information from somebody that knew that the car would be there. She's the woman on the phone right? She ain't sound no ways worried about her safety. I said it before, she was bartering with the 911 operator. "God showed us the way" - Sturm. Yeah, in the form of someone that dropped a little message to you at some point before you came, camera in tote and ready to pounce.
Finally, this needed a section all its own. The dispatch call of our boy Deputy Coborn and his testimony under oath.
"You said, Oh 99 Toyota?" - Steven's lawyer.
"No I thought she told me that." - Coborn.
Plays back the recorded conversation to find out that he was the one that relayed that information to the dispatcher.
"Were you looking at these plates when you called them in?" - Steven's lawyer.
"No sir." - Coborn says as he begins to rock back in the seat, uneasily.
This shit is better than must watch TV. This dude sounds like he's reporting the details of a vehicle that he's looking at in the field, a full two days before the car is found. And they haven't even gotten to the tampered evidence. In my best Amy Winehouse voice, What type of fuckery is this?
