Part of the prosecution's angle is that he was sexually infatuated with her. Whether you believe that or not is one thing, but the motive being put forth was sexual assault, which needs no motive beyond that (Unless you're a 3rd wave feminist, in which case the motive was his desire to assert his dominance over her and it was all about control and a show of power... and the patriarchy... But I wouldn't ever accuse you of such a thing
yes, but think about it, all the people you have been sexually interested in, how many of them did you rape? it only looks guilty for avery because he had already been convicted of a sex crime and that was another case of railroading by the same people saying he was sexually infatuated with TH. you dont see anything ridiculous about that?
i realize what you're saying, but what i am saying is that of course they are saying he wanted to rape TH or that he did. because he had already been convicted of rape and so rape is his MO. if they had railroaded him on a string of robbery charges, guess what they would have said his motive was for killing her? yeah she had phat l00tz.
hahaha, ya, maybe. But I guess the otherwise creepy, but not illegal behaviour (Requesting her specifically. Answering the door in a towel) lends itself more to the infatuation claims
I admit to not watching the last episode before i made this statment, now in the full context i retract it and take my deserved internet lumps.
This is actually a really valid point. We have irrefutable proof as presented at trial that Avery answered the door in a towel and requested her specifically, which certainly proves infatuation, which would lead to stalking, which is logically going to result in rape, torture, and murder! You know, with all the irrefutable proof presented that that's exactly what happened. It's not like the investigators and/or DA can just tell a half baked story and have it catch on in the media and become a talking point locally. That's just not how things work. They went with the rape allegations because of all the irrefutable proof of it. That's where the evidence led the investigation. It's not like they just put the story out there and then said things to back it up. It was because of EVIDENCE, like him answering the door in a towel and how he specifically requested she come out to take the pictures. Pretty sure Jive is right on this one. It's pretty obvious the evidence indicates he raped her. I mean, answering the door in a towel. That isn't at all disputed. That's a fact! And it's the first step toward raping, torturing, murdering someone!
I actually don't think there is any evidence of the towel thing, and I believe that idea was excluded at trial. If this monkeydick judge excluded it, you know it must be like totally provably false otherwise he'd have allowed it.
Ok just so we're clear, there's no DNA in sweat itself. There may be DNA in skin cells which come along with sweat if you rub it off on something. So with them saying "sweat DNA" it makes it sound like they positively identified sweat and got a sample of it. They did not. They just swabbed the key/hood and tested it for DNA.
I wasn't talking about the leg irons. I was talking about all the previous run ins with the law regarding his sexual behavior. I may be mistaken but I thought they actually did have solid evidence about him doing things like flashing passing motorists and such.
No that all came from the cousin that he confronted on the road about "spreading rumors" and in her deposition (first episode I believe?) she recanted most of that.
The hood evidence was tainted anyway. The tech gathering the evidence did not change gloves between swabbing for DNA in his actual trailer (which very easily could have gotten SA's DNA on them) and swabbing the car.
I know the cousin recanted some of it but I thought other, non relative women reported similar incidents. Maybe I'm just making shit up in my head at this point though.
I don't remember that, but I haven't researched it. Just going off of what I remember. You could be right bro. /shrug
Yeah I get that. I just figured there was some dead skin cells along with the sweat.
