So, I finally finished up the show yesterday. Wow!
Going over the missing evidence in the link in the op post...
9. Doesn't matter.
8. Doesn't matter
7 . Really!! Doesn't matter.
6. Doesn't matter...and if Halback was genuinely avoiding him then why did she go to Avery Salvage yard?
5. Doesn't matter.
4. NO DNA. Shocking!!
3. So the key found under suspicious circumstances has the same DNA as the hood latch.
2. So Dassey lying to his mother about the rape & murder and then saying he was molested..which also must be considered a lie.
1. Doesn't matter.
IMO none of the left out evidence listed is a game changer or all that important. Most of it seems to be more about Steven's character than anything.
The main issues surrounding this conviction can be summed up quickly.
1. All the physical evidence has a lot of doubt over it due due to certain factors.
- KEY - Found by Manitwoc officers conducting a search much much later than the first search and this key suddenly appears with only Steven's DNA on it....no Halbach DNA
- RAV 4 BLOOD - Only 1 test by the FBI using a rushed procedure that they said would take several months but got done in weeks.
- BURN PIT/BONES - Seriously, this is the one that gets me. You have all them bones behind his house, but then you have some in a burn barrel, and then you have some at a quarry a long distance away from the Avery property.
Now. I am not saying Steven is innocent, but but based on all the evidence provided by the prosecution and the manner in which the evidence was found, it surely must leave everybody with a certain degree of doubt over his guilt.
The Brendan Dassey conviction seems to be even worse. No physical evidence at all and his coerced story of the horrific act doesn't fit with the evidence found. That is before we even start with the coerced confession.
