Because reasons, and 'Murica!From the documentary, it looks like the Averys were completely removed from the salvage yard for 8 days while the search took place. I'm not really aware of any reason they were allowed to do this. I've never been there when a search warrant was executed, but I've been there shortly after, and the cops allowed me to walk around and just told me not to interfere with the search. Anybody know on what basis they removed them from their homes for 8 days?
I wonder at the reason provided too, because at some point there had to be a reason on the search warrant or motion filed and a judge who signed it (if anyone wants too look it up, I'm not quite that motivated). My guess is it's bullshit that was maybe halfway believable at the time when the DA was spinning scary tales in press conferences, but in retrospect is probably pretty suspect.
The Sheriff sure went to great lengths to control the salvage yard and alleged crime scene, while at the same time doing a shitty job of documenting and preserving it. That inconsistency is as big a head scratcher as the assertions that make Avery look like a genius at some points and blithering buffoon at others. Doesn't match up.
