Steven Avery and his lawyers take action upon justifying his declaration of guiltlessness. Steven asserts the officers "set him up," when he was interrogated after being told he was not a suspect. Actions taken in the investigation of Teresa's death resulted in finding an essential in Steven's residence, EDTA test being done, and log documentation of officers. Since Steven's home was inspected, a key linked to Teresa's Rav 4 was found. The device was found on a bookcase the day Sargent William Tulson did not look after the deputies. Steven's defenders suspected that these executives planted evidence. When Colbern claimed to see the key, he reported that he did not touch it when first having contact with it. He admitted to the court that he did not plant evidence and argued that it was the "first time his integrity is questioned." In an investigation report done by Colbern, the key found was not mentioned. Also, an EDTA test, an analysis …show more content…
Sargent Orth was in charge of writing a log of who had contact with the victim's vehicle. When Lieutenant Lank conducted a search in Steven's residence, he did not sign in the agenda, but he did sign out. Fassbender, a special agent, had a record of who came and left the site. When asked about this record in court, it didn’t recall to him. The officers told public media that Manitiwoc County was not involved in this case, but they were. The county's job role in this inquiry was to provide resources when they were needed. Homicide in Wisconsin was not a federal crime; it was a state crime, but Federals were still involved. Overall, Steven and his counsels dispute to convince the dock of his clean hands. After all the grounds found against him, Steven wished to testify, claiming his righteousness. At this point, Steven was up to six counts and now down to three counts. If he and his attorneys lost count one, then Steven would go to prison for the rest of his

R/Sgt was assigned to investigate Log Number 1074992 on 02 June 2015. R/ Sgt reviewed the allegations as listed in the Face Sheet. The complainant alleges that the accused detective was rude and unprofessional with her when she called him to inquire about her case report because he told her, "If you make a complaint against me, make sure you tell them about your criminal background, too," and "I 'm not going to arrest anybody since they didn 't touch your son."

Accused Again – Steven Avery Steven Avery was accused of the ruthless murder of Teresa Halbach. She was on the Avery property to take photos of Steven’s van which he wanted to sell. Over the next few hours, she was ‘apparently’ murdered and her body burned. Only a few short days after this, the unreliable Manitowoc Police Department charged Steven Avery with Halbach’s murder. After following and studying the case, I am convinced that Steven is innocent, and has been framed for Halbach’s murder.
Criminal Minds AP Language and Composition Period 3 Ms.Burke 14 March 2016 As with any other murder case that comes to surface, conspiracies will be right around the corner. No matter what the unknown truth may be, or the amount of witnesses and DNA that is available, the twisted theories will rise and grow, just as the case does. Taking a look at the murder case of Teresa Halbach, with number one suspect, Steven Avery you see a tumble of theories jolting together. Breaking it down to only one hard piece of evidence- the blood vial found in the sealed box.
On December 28th, 2010 a member of the Aryan Brotherhood was sentenced to an outstanding 450 month prison term in Crane, Texas (ABC15, 2016). To further put this court decision into perspective, 26 year old Steven Scott Cantrell was fated to servfe a 37.5 year sentence that would result in him being released after he is well into his mid-60s. Cantrell was found guilty for hate crime charges that stemmed from a series of racially-motivated arsons in December 2010. He was involved in setting fire to a historic African-American church and the attempted murder of a disabled black man (ABC15, 2016).
Susane Abe Mrs. Milio English 11R 23 March 2015 Amanda Knox : In Depth of Controversy Guilty or Innocent There have been many questionable convictions that caused people to inquire its validity throughout history. The Meredith Kercher trial has been very well known and controversial. The case had attracted a large amount of public attention. Despite all the convictions and efforts, the accuracy of the trial is ambiguous.
Throughout the trial Steven claimed he had nothing to do with the assault, however, he was still found guilty. In 2002, the Wisconsin Innocence Project took Avery's case. As a result of improvements in DNA testing, they were able to exonerate Avery in 2003 based on DNA evidence indicating that someone other than Avery committed the crime. The DNA was matched to one Gregory Allen.
The break-ins are a major clue for Lizzie’s innocence. In the trial, the police never found an evident weapon. Yes, they found many axes around, but none of them had any traces of blood. They searched long and hard and found nothing.
Steve is a good person but he is being accused of murder. He loves his little brother. The book said, “‘He is innocent until proven guilty.”’ (Myers 26-27). Steve is innocent because there is no evidence of him being guilty.
He is trying to get an appeal on his case stating he did not murder anyone (Kiger). Noted by Rosewood, ¨There was a lot of suspicion that an accomplice participated in at least some of the murders, but nothing has ever come of this. Some of this speculation was based on the theory that it would have been too difficult for Kraft to move the dead bodies around on his own,¨ (217).
However, Avery is not as guiltless as it may seem. The series proved to be rather one-sided, leaving important information and evidence out of the documentary that support the prosecution's arguments and instead, highlighting all of the circumstances that backed up the defense's case. Although some may stand firm on the idea that he is innocent, I believe Steven Avery to be a rightfully convicted, guilty man due to the abundant amount of reliable evidence the prosecution presented that all point to Steven Avery taking part in the murder of Teresa Halbach, most of which were excluded from the
Later in January 2002, the Justice minster appointed a former Quebec judge, Fred Kaufman, to assess the case which he later reported that there was a miscarriage of justice in Steven's case but there wasn't enough new evidence to exonerate him. On October 28th 2004, the Federal Minister of Justice, Irwin Cotler, referred the case to the Ontario Court of Appeal for review saying there was reasonable basis to conclude a miscarriage of justice occurred in this case. Witnesses also kept altering their stories at trial from the original trial to the new trial giving the prosecution ammunition. Steven gave his case to the Ontario Court of Appeal on January 31st, 2007 which helped overturn his conviction 8 months later on August 28th, 2007, declaring the case a miscarriage of justice. However, the judges go on to say that "the court is not satisfied that the appellant has been able to demonstrate his factual innocence."
He was so dehumanized by the prosecuting attorney that even his own attorney has some doubt about him being innocent. O'Brien had to inform Steve that her job was to differentiate him from the other individuals on trial because the jury already views him as guilty. In this optic, Steve and his attorney struggled to distinguish him as a talented, respected young man in order to win the case. Fortunately, even though Steve was found not guilty by the jury at the end of the trial he turned to hug his attorney, Kathy O'Brien. Instead of hugging Steve, O'Brien distances herself and turns away of from him.
If you were blamed for a crime you didn’t do, would you let that accusation go and let it tarnish your reputation? Would you let it fly by and have others judge from every angle? No, right? Normally people who get accused of crimes demand justice as they know they did not commit the crime and only justice can give them the freedom they deserve. But let’s look at Steve Harmon, the main character from the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers who was on trial for murder.
“When I don’t like the answers, I’ll turn it upside down. You figure out what’s wrong with the answer you gave me” (218). Steve and O’Brien had went over what he was going to say prior to the court session, but if he was innocent there would be nothing to worry about. Steve also had flashbacks that the jury doesn’t know about, including where he talks to King about needing money and wanting to rob a bank (50). The jury has no idea that the conversation had happened so they did not have enough information to deliver a verdict of guilty.
