Yep, I was amazed that they accepted the confession of Brendan Dassey as being fact.

I’m with you on Steven, I don’t know if I believe he is innocent. Something seemed off with him.

Have you ever heard of The West Memphis Three? Watching that one- it’s called Paradise Lost on HBO
- makes you realize how flawed our justice system can be.

ME TOO!!! That was CRAZY! They were ON VIDEO coercing him!

 

Hands down one of the best documentaries I have seen.

 

I still don't understand how that was acceptable! Any fool with two eyes could see what was happening. And the boy was not competent enough to understand what they were doing.

 

There is a book called The Devil's Knot that was written about the trial. When I read it and read the evidence that the judge refused to allow to be presented, I was so angry. It was clear TWM3 were not the monsters who murdered those three little boys. I'm convinced it was the stepfather - Terry Hobbs.

 

There is a Facebook group discussing Making A Murder Season two - some interesting theories. I need to watch!!!

 

I have always scratched my head at women who cultivate relationships with convicted murderers.

 

Back when that kid shot up a movie theater, I read that women were writing to him in prison. I think there are some women who have a sick fetish for criminals. It's beyond my comprehension.

 

I haven't seen season two yet, but after watching season one, and then researching all the facts that were left out of season one, I was pretty convinced he was guilty. Brandon I'm less sure about. I came away from it thinking he probably deserved a new trial. Not necessarily exoneration, but a new trial. The way they procured his "confession" alone I think should warrant a new one.

 

I watched the first two episodes last night, and she was just introduced into the series. My thing is, there is no future with a convicted murderer. It's not like you can share special moments with them, discuss your day as you are having dinner, celebrate holidays. I just don't get it.

 

I was shocked when I found out that Tex Watson, Charles Manson follower, actually married and fathered four children - after his conviction and incarceration!

Richard Ramirez was another one I was shocked to find had groupies. That man was evil, and women were writing to him like he was a rock star or something. Boggles the mind.

 

Ted Bundy married a woman during his trial. Someone married John Wayne Gacy.

Lots of crazy people in the world. And I think at least part of the reason is the attention, plus the fact that you don't actually have to have a relationship with someone who you can never be with physically.

 

True. I guess they see it as safe.

Someone married John Wayne Gacy? I didn't know that one. People are strange!!

 

I started part 2 last night, and I had to stop myself from binging it until 5am like i did the first part lol. It's SO addicting. Zellner is really bringing up some interesting points.
