       Wrongful & Rightful Convictions : A Strange Parallel A
       Century Apart

       I remember being taken in by the series, Making A Murderer, when
       it was broadcast on Netflix several years ago. I thought that
       there was a distinct possibility that Steven Avery may have
       framed by the police department in his hometown of Manitowoc,
       Wisconsin for the murder of a young woman in 2005.
       Over time, my position radically changed especially when I
       learned that an alarming number of facts were either
       misrepresented, distorted, or omitted in that ten-part series
       that catapulted Avery's name into the mainstream. The two women
       who produced the series won several awards and were the
       recipients of numerous accolades.
       Numerous websites and organized public demonstrations for
       Avery's release were found across the country.
       With no further ado, I want to share this link to the
       ten-program series, Convicting A Murderer, which covers every
       aspect of the Avery case that the original series didn't.  The
       perfect antidote to the decade-long litany of lies in the
       Wisconsin case.
       It's a shame in a way because this series won't achieve viral
       status like the original series did some 9 years ago.

       This series reminded me instantly of the Brown Case.
       Similarities between the Steven Avery saga and George Damon in
       the Carrie Brown case:
       1. Allegations of faulty scientific evidence presented by the
       prosecution against Avery & Ali
       2. Concerted effort to frame Ali and Avery by the police
       3. Key used to convict Avery
       4. Key used to get Ali released
       5. Minimal blood evidence used to convict Ali
       6. Minimal blood evidence ( car hood, key, ignition switch) used
       to convict Avery
       7. Allegations of past instances of misogyny against Ali were
       minimalized by the defense
       8. Allegations of past misogyny against Avery underreported
       9. Eventual revelations not covered in the Avery documentary
       were brought to life only after the
       general consensus came to the conclusion he was innocent
       10. Unauthenticated aspects of Damon's affidavits were
       eventually revealed after only after the general
       consensus concluded that Ali was innocent.
       11. Avery released after being in prison for a decade ( actually
       18 years ) for a crime
       that he didn't commit.
       12. Ali released after being in prison for a decade for a crime
       that he may have committed.
       13. Damon's involvement was accepted as being proof Ali was
       innocent
       14. Belief in police mishandling of evidence and prejudice
       against Avery accepted as proof
       of his innocence by the public.
       15. A substantial number of intentionally omitted facts and the
       presentation of incomplete statements.
       16. Even today, people still believe Avery was framed despite an
       overwhelming amount of evidence.
       17. The post-trial life of the lead prosecutor in the Avery
       trial, Ken Kratz, became a central topic although
       Avery's trial took place 4 years after Kratz's life began to
       unravel. The producers of Making A Murderer
       incorporated irrelevant incidents involving Kratz ( Who IS an
       asshole, no doubt ) into the Avery case for obvious reasons.
       18. Although never once charged with a crime, either before or
       after the Lexow Committee in 1895, Inspector Byrnes
       has been accused of wrongdoing in the Ali case.
       The two women did a great disservice to the public in
       fabricating a propaganda piece for a sick, guilty man, back in
       2015.
       Did George Damon do the people of the State of New York a
       similar disservice when he popped up like a gopher ten years
       after the
       Brown murder occurred?
