First off let me say that Candace Owens did not do any legwork or research on this, strictly a narrator. I find this odd but whatever, I'd rather have someone with actually investigative skills in this role.
So for the first three episodes the audience is given more details of the interviews/interrogations and recorded phone calls. I was actually impressed that they had the Making a Murderer edit shown side by side with the actual calls and easily proves the bias and attempts of the film makers to mislead.
Yes his past is bad and colored before and after he got released from a wrongful conviction. This series digs deep into these allegations but it's mostly he said/she said with little to no evidence and some police reports that the accusers can't even remember correctly. Less than ideal, certainly not the Gotcha moment they present it as.
Now for the bad, and this show is biased as well. No real explanation as to why the Fastbender interview with Brendan is not regarded as the coerced confession that it is. The guy has a low IQ and is repeatedly given information and then somehow it's a revelation when he parrots that info back?? This series just passes over it.
Brendan confesses to so many things and none are found to be anywhere near credible. Handcuffs, stabbings, blood everywhere, guns and bullets. Sounds like a horror film, yet no blood or evidence to support his story. Doesn't matter. Guilty.
There is so much obvious shadiness surrounding this case, yet this doc does nothing to admit that there's anything out of the ordinary going on.
Nothing about car keys found on the 7th search of a trailer by the Manitowoc police who shouldn't be there. Or that it doesn't have any of Teresa's DNA on it, just Steven's. Lol what?
In this case we can only deal with probabilities as the investigation has been shown to be so incredibly poorly done.
Did SA kill TH? Probably Did Brendan help ? Probably Did the police have a motive and means to frame SA? Yes Did the Manitowoc police frame him? Low prob, but possible Was another person involved or commit this crime? Probably
I find it interesting that nothing is shown about how bad the police work was in this case. It's all just confirmation bias for people who think he's guilty rather than a good investigation.
