That's a common misconception being put about by the then-DA, yes. But it's hard to believe that the murder happened the way the prosecution claimed it did. A woman gets her throat cut, but there's no blood evidence in the (very messy) bedroom at all? She gets shot in the head multiple times in the garage, but the only evidence is a bullet that only appears after multiple searches? Where's the brain splatter, shards of skull, etc.? Where's the additional blood that would undoubtedly be all over the floor and everything else in the garage?

Avery might be guilty. I think there was plenty of room for reasonable doubt, however, and there's no question the investigation was botched. I'm surprised by how many peopl watch the documentary and think that the main point is about Avery's guilt or innocence. It's not. It's about the flaws in our justice system.

Everyone seems to get caught up in the "did he or didn't he", and I guess that's not surprising, but the real story is the fact that law enforcement botched the case - and calling it "botched" is actually being generous.

Agreed with you that it is impossible for him to have killed her in the house or garage and have NO blood splatter and no physical evidence. The confession from the nephew was awful, and I've read that the Reid Technique for interrogations is not allowed in many other countries due to the number of false confessions you get when using it.

I think the guy may have done it, and he may not. I think it's more likely that another family member did it, as others have postulated. But I think the cops were so convinced that this was their man, that they planted evidence to make the charges stick and get a conviction. And THAT is the huge problem that the documentary is highlighting.

I think that if Avery did it, there's virtually no way he killed her inside the house the way the cops are saying. They're claiming two different rooms where she was physically attacked, but there's no blood or DNA evidence that she'd ever set foot inside the bedroom or garage. What I think is that she was killed someplace else, and the body transported in her car (hence the blood/hair evidence inside her car) and her body burned on Avery property.

I think the cops found the car and the burn site, then decided to "help" along the investigation to nail a man they truly believed was guilty. I think they had such tunnel vision when it came to Avery that they didn't bother to conduct a proper investigation. How do you not even ASK for the alibis of her family members and roommate? But at the same time, you interrogate a teenager for hours until he manages to kinda sorta spit back a false confession... and not a very good one, at that. That's some bad police work right there.

It's clear that Avery's reputation isn't spotless and I'm not saying he's a good guy. But the cops can't just decide NOT to do their jobs and make certain they're putting the right man in jail. Not after what happened in Avery's previous unlawful incarceration. And this isn't even getting into what happened at the trial, good lord.
