    If you're demanding a man be pardoned because of what you saw on a blatantly biased TV show, you're no better than the people who convicted him because they decided he was guilty before all the evidence was collected.

    • I don't know any better than you, but pardoning him is not the solution to the problem with this case.nb
    • yeah the whole petition is a bit silly that way but hopefully it opens the door for a new trial_niko
    • So you think a completely innocent man looking to make millions would murder a woman, cut her into pieces and burn her alive when he knows the cops hate him?monospaced
    • monospaced- the guy is a proven nut but the doc doesn't portray him like that.hotroddy
    • film 101 - don't believe the hypehotroddy
    • proven nut?monospaced
    • yes. have you read the stories about him and theresa?hotroddy
    • The question is not whether he was guilty or not - the question is whether the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable a doubt he was guilty - they didn't.fadein11
    • Yes, it appears very clear that there was not enough to convict this man. Clearly he deserves a proper appeal, a new judge, in a higher court.nb
    • But, I don't think we should be petitioning his pardon. A pardon would mean that the real killer (if he exists) would go free. The case would not be reopened.nb
    • So you DO think that this guy killed her even though he was getting married and would soon be a millionaire. Because he's 'nuts.' Got it.monospaced
    • a nut doesn't rationalizehotroddy
    • so hotroddy and nb both think that Avery was so insane he couldn't rationalize the repercussions of murder vs a massive payout, but was still sane enough ...monospaced
    • ... to be accountable, coerce his family and friends into helping, clean everything up and all that shit. Got it.monospaced
    • They paint him as a criminal mastermind clever enough to meticulously scrub his entire property of all forensic evidence..._niko
    • ...but so fucking stupid that he leaves the car on the lot, the keys in his room and the remains in a fire pit behind his trailer. got it._niko
    • @mono, I DON'T think Avery did it. However, pardoning him will not solve the problem that results in innocent people being convicted.nb
    • A pardon would mean that no other person would be charged in the crime. Instead, Avery needs a new trial. And that county needs an entire new police force.nb
    • @hotroddy Can you post a link to the avery and Theresa stories? Thanks!instrmntl
    • I don't have the specifics but you can scroll down to "evidence not presented in tv series" http://www.slashfilm…hotroddy

    • A documentary is always inevitably a scewed point of view that the film maker presents to you. Unless you've been at every trials and read every documents.pango
    • A new trial couldn't hurt I suppose. Just going to cost more money.pango
