Have any of you lot seen this yet?

Fella (called Steven Avery) gets wrongfully convicted of a rape in 1985 and does 18 years in prison for it. New DNA evidence analysed in the case confirms a connection to another convicted rapist and exonerates Steven Avery of the crime. He proceeds to launch a civil suit for $36 million against the county police department that put him up for a crime he didn't commit.

Less than a month after initial investigations for the civil suit are conducted with the Manitowoc county police a young woman goes missing. She was a photographer for Auto-Trader (car sales mag) and was last seen at the scrapyard owned by Steven Avery's family. Her car turns up on the scrapyard after being found by the victim's cousin and Steven Avery is suspect #1.

I won't say anything more than that in the hopes that you all watch it and then we can all play at being CSI and experts in American Law.

Good shout jake,
 
Watched 4 episodes so far last night... really getting into it now . Would advise all law abiding citizens who think they can trust the Police to watch as there are some absolutely shocking Police, Defence, and judge and prosecution actions in this case. It is proper crazy and how we're supposed to have faith in this system is unbelievable. Can't wait to see how it all pans out but nothing shocks me anymore.

The whole concept of reasonable doubt or "Innocent until proven guilty" goes out of the window with this case. They immediately zero-d in on Steven Avery as the primary suspect when there were so many other people with access to the lot. They didn't rule out any other suspects, for the most part they didn't interrogate them. The county police dept. who had a massive conflict of interest in the case were continuously involved when they shouldn't have been. The evidence presented is highly questionable and doesn't necessarily indicate that the prosecution's argument of how they say this transpired is the ONLY way it could have happened.
 

Lenk just put doubt on the evidence that was found while he around. It a shocking investigation to be fair.
The big question is who killed her? The confession from brendon was pathetic.

Found the victim brother annoying, he didn't question the police once.

The issue is where is her blood?
Did the police kill her or the killer was clever dumping the car and keys on Steven place.

It's would be better if Steven was the killer as doing time for nothing the second time must be a nightmare.
I'm interested in finding out if the show was one sided but you can't have Lenk and his mates anywhere near the crime scene.
