Are you on the ‘Making a Murderer’ train yet? I swear it’s the only thing people are talking about at my gym right now. There’s no chance of entering a conversation that doesn’t utter the words “Steven Avery.” Luckily, I’m on the train so I have something to connect with people about. Sad, but true.
Let’s talk about this. Because this sh*t is so confusing. So SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t seen the whole season yet, turn away. Honestly, after I finished the season, I started looking up Buzzfeed articles and reading about other suspects. You finish the season and you’re just not satisfied. There’s just no way to feel 100% about him killing anyone. WHO TO BELIEVE. It felt like so many pieces were left out the entire time.
And then you’re left there, on the couch, wondering how many other people are in jail for a crime they didn’t commit. That’s a frightening thought.
You know what I hated the most during all 10 episodes? The prosecutor. His voice is one of the creepiest voices I’ve ever heard. On more than one occasion, I mentioned to my fiancé that he is totally molester. No doubt in my mind. And BOOM, he gets fired for sending gross text messages to a minor that was from a domestic abuse case he was working on. How gross is he? How can you trust someone like that? Ew. He’s so gross.
This has become a really intense blog post. I tend to not talk about things that upset people. Like religion or politics. I leave that sh*t alone. But I still upset people by cussing. Can’t win it all. But ‘Making a Murderer’ has to be talked about it. Do you think he did it? Let’s chat this over.

Looks delicious! I am doing Whole30, but would love to make this. Could I just eliminate the honey?

Shopping for this recipe tonight and looking forward to trying it out
I freakin love you! My husband and I went out to a food truck yesterday that has delicious rice bowls like these. We loved it, but thought,”I bet we could make our own for a lot cheaper,” and BOOM Juli Bauer has the recipe the very next day. Marinating right now!
we must be on the same wave length!
Made this for dinner, it was amazing!
yay! glad to hear it!
Can’t wait to try this! As for Making a Murder…. After watching the entire docuseries I started questioning their guilt, but one thing stuck with me, the kid telling his cousin details about the murder and even though they recanted I think it’s impossible to make up details like that. I’ve also read the docuseries was focused on the defense because the prosecution didn’t want to participate out of respect for the victims family, but stated 80% of the evidence was not in the series. Someone posted documents stating shackles and chains were found under the bed, which I don’t think that evidence was in the series. I don’t think we’ll ever know the full story, but I would love to see the prosecution make a series minus the creeper. I think if Avery is innocent it was another relative and the kid was there or witnessed something. If Avery did do it he may have been sloppy on purpose trying to make it look like a set up. Maybe I’ve watched one too many episodes of Dexter, but that wasn’t the first time the victim was at his property and I’m sure he learned a thing or two in jail on how to get away with murder. What better defense can a murder have, I’m getting ready to cash in on $36M payday and they set me up so they don’t have to pay??? This is probably the best article on read on the subject: http://www.pajiba.com/netflix_movies_and_tv/is-steven-avery-guilty-evidence-making-a-murderer-didnt-present.php
hahaha i totally read this article last night before even seeing your comment. i just started googling about it and it’s crazy how much was left out of the series. like the part that he would request theresa when calling auto trader and blocked his number when calling her that day. and after finding out he killed a cat right away, i had my doubts instantly. sane people don’t kill animals.
I am so conflicted! After watching the documentary I was convinced he’s innocent. But then googling and reading articles makes me on the fence that maybe he did do it!? But nonetheless, I think there’s DEF reasonable doubt and he did not receive a fair trial and it’s ridiculous he had jurors who wouldn’t budge on their belief he’s guilty. The evidence and the state’s theory to how she died doesn’t prove, to me at least, that he’s guilty. I just wanted to give Steven’s parents a huge hug during the whole thing! And poor Brendan Dassey!! I agreed with the one defense lawyer when he said something along the lines of “I hope he’s guilty or else this whole system is completely messed up that an innocent man is serving a life sentence.”
Did you think Kayla (the cousin) was lying or telling the real truth on the stand?
(PS adding this recipe to my dinner list for next week!!)
Made this for dinner tonight for the family. I should have double it. It was inhaled and they were looking for seconds. Da’ bomb!
