He wasn't going to get 36 million but 400k wasn't reasonable either, he had to make that settlement under duress because he needed attorneys. If I were guessing I'd say he would have gotten $5-10 million.

And the settlement saved face for the reputation of the law enforcement involved in the initial wrongful conviction. If that had gone to trial it certainly would have been shameful for those involved and a lot of people who were still employed at the time would have lost their jobs in disgrace.

You didn't use proper punctuation in a sentence about punctuation. I'm taking a point from you and giving it to Bisi.

There was also a particular interest right at that time of stopping the depositions and discovery before the full picture of the 1985 railroading came out. The rank and file cops were stepping on their dicks in their depositions, imagine how that retard DA and Sherriff would have done. And it would have been a matter of time until they found an incriminating document in discovery.

Even if this is true (as was pointed out, without the murder charge, he probably wouldn't have settled for so little), they already established with the rape case that they didn't even need a monetary motive to frame Avery. But on top of whatever motive that was, now there's personal resentment for making the police department look foolish. Take the money out if you like, but there still doesn't seem to be a lack of motive

Looks like you lost 5 points for moose rape. Hopefully you don't have a jury full of folks just like you that convict despite believing police planted evidence.

Keep repeating the same retarded refrain. If you've yet to understand my position by now after 15 clarifications, you never will.
And the moose shouldn't have been dressed that way.

Did you even watch it? He settled because he needed money for the attorney in the Murder case...It was that or go to trial with Public Defender from Manitowoc...Like Len...And we all know the quality that that Howdy Doody clone brought to the table.

Well, probably not in that shithole of a county, but yeah, settling lets the powers that be say they only settled because it was cheaper than fighting and still proclaim no wrong doing. In short: the frame job was a success!

sounds like steven got a great white shark for an attorney. i dunno what she can do at this point though without any discovery of new evidence and they still need to go through the crooked county government system. hopefully all this light being put on the case scares them into playing fair this time. i dont have much hope though, strang and buting were two hell of a lawyers who presented an incredible case and they didnt make a shits worth of difference.

So it turns out the filmmakers left out the "sweat" stuff because it basically went nowhere in court:
"Making A Murderer": Filmmakers discuss documentary | MSNBC
The crime lab guy examined Steven Avery's personal car and then went on to examine Theresa Albach's car but forgot to change his gloves. There was no way to determine whether the DNA was there to begin with or if he had accidentally brought it over.
Ken Kratz poisoned the well once by holding that press conference before the trial and and now he's done it again by getting some faggots to write those articles about "damning evidence being left out".
