What You Should Know About Netflix’s ‘Making a Murderer’

10. Yeah, But There’s Still Some Evidence The Doc Left Out

On the level, Avery is a bit of a violent dummy. He was absolutely wrongly convicted of a crime in the mid-eighties, but there’s a lot of other evidence the state used when putting him away the second time. For example, there was a bullet found at the crime scene with Halbach’s DNA on it; that bullet was fired from a gun that was kept hanging above Avery’s bed at all times. Avery had purchased manacles weeks before the murder that he claimed were for his then-girlfriend (who did not get down that way). Finally, police found Avery’s DNA under the hood of Halbach’s car, a discovery that supported Dassey’s statement that he had helped move Halbach’s car into the salvage yard before his uncle unplugged the battery.
