Now for Avery.
Now for Avery.
So Brendan Dassey's confession was fairly recently adjudged to have been unlawful, but he's still in prison as it's the prosecution's turn to appeal.

The "serious threat to public safety" line makes me want to fly over there and start taking names. How do these people sleep at night?
He probably would have raped someone eventually. We all know what those strong, low IQ types are like.
Absolutely mental.
Finally watched The Staircase.

Yup. I posted earlier in this thread, the moment the verdict was being read out is probably the most gripping TV I've seen in a long time.

Where can this be watched? I can't find it on Netflix.
Piratebay has it.
Are they still on the go? I thought all public torrents had been shut down.
Also, what do people recommend as a good VPN? The last time I Googled PB, I got redirected to my ISP homepage.
Opera has a good native blocker that I use to access BBC over here.
And yeah, PirateBay very much still on the go (if you can access it).
As i'm in a good mood, in case you can't access piratebay, here's the link;

I won't try it now as I'm on the company network but I'll set it downloading at lunch time.
Impressive Woman, but I didn't realise the tests they can do can prove/disprove the sort of stuff she's talking about.
Back on The Staircase, this is also required viewing.

Would have thought those that had seen the series would have been on it, but I can't see a mention of it in the thread.
I think that's the follow up that was in the downloads a couple of people got. John Arne said it wasn't up to much so I didn't bother with it.
Duane Deaver's continued existence fucks me off far more intensely than any of the myriad arseholes involved in MaM.
Indeed, it appears the American justice system is rife with bad science.
As for the follow up, it does go over a lot of the stuff already covered, but there's enough new stuff too to make it worthwhile.
Does it go into the 'Owl Theory'? If not, and you haven't done any further reading, have a look at that.Originally Posted by Yevrah
So having done MaM and The Staircase, what else in the genre is required viewing?
West of Memphis is very good, but it's a film rather than a series so it doesn't have the same depth.
Have to watch The Jinx as well.
Read that and while unlikely, it sounds more plausible than the alternatives, well, all bar the obvious one.
The new stuff in it basically covers what happens after 2011, which even though you know is worth watching anyway. Same level of access by the same documentary team.
Watched Jinx over the weekend. A distant third to Making a Murderer and The Staircase, but still pretty good nonetheless.
A follow up would have been nice too.
Would agree with that. Almost gave up on it early on, but definitely worth the watch in the end.

I prefer The Staircase to Making a Murderer, but I agree that The Jinx is a distant third.
Given how clearly compelling this stuff is, and how incredibly popular MaM was, I'm surprised we're not knee deep in true crime courtroom dramas at this point. The rush to run anything even vaguely popular into the ground usually gets started so much quicker.

FREEEEEDOM!!!!
He should have never been in there in the first place, same as Steve.
Be so good when he Mahow's a few young children and get's 25 life sentences.
Mahow's not the one running a paedo ring inside his own family.
You say that but those Ukranians have a bit of a reputation.
I've got a really big family so that's not as bad as it first sounds.
Or does that make it worse?
Those mental looking kids are as a result of Chernobyl not inbreeding, mate.
His release has been blocked.
To say it's an absolutely unbelievable system just doesn't do it justice.
I like what you did there Yev.
Wasn't there some poor chap who rotted in a US jail for about 15 years after he ought to have been released? Once you're in you're in over there.
There was this guy who spent 40 years in the clink. "Didn't do it, guv'nor".

I'd imagine he'll be committing an entirely inexplicable crime in the near future.
On The Staircase:

I'd forgot all about the Staircase since I got Kodi going. Presumably it's on there, but is it really as good as MaM? Or did it peak because everyone was looking for something similar at the time?
I reckon it's probably a little better - due to the amount of access you get to the defendants building their case - it's less hearsay and more evidence than MaM.
Grand job. MaM was something the Mrs liked too so she will watch this one as well. Better than going to separate rooms while I watch Man in the High Castle and she watches Greys Anatomy.
The courtroom scene when they were handing out the judgement on The Staircase had me genuinely on the edge of my seat - brilliant TV.
Yeah, The Staircase was superb. The follow up, not so much, but worth watching anyway.
Just finished watching The Jinx. Fuck me that was good! Pure drama. Better than MaM.
I grew to quite like him over the series. Felt sorry for him at the end. Also really liked his odd emotionless voice.
Going to watch The Staircase next.
Got excited thinking Dassey was back in jail after raping and killing a few kids.
He hasn't been released yet.
Someone talk to me about jinx. What a man. I thought the niece of the first dead lady was simply delicious.
No wonder you're keeping a close eye on his conviction.
Just finished The Staircase.
All I'll say is how the buggery does someone get those injures on her head from falling down a stairs?
That aside, he seems an absolutey lovely chap.
