Haven't watched it. Not sure if I will.

I personally think he's guilty as sin.

I think the filmmakers deliberately left things out to make the public sympathetic to Avery. Apparently they spent 10 years making this documentary. If it truly is a documentary, they should have taken ALL information into account and put it to screen. Prosecutors have come forward and said "by the way, they left this crucial piece of evidence out that led to the conviction".

He might not have gotten a truly "fair" trial, but I still think he's guilty.

An "unfair" trial is an understatement. And I find it interesting that you think he's "guilty as sin". What made you reach that conclusion?

Regardless of whether or not he did it, there was a huge miscarriage of justice here. EVERYONE deserves a fair trial. I would hate to think that anyone could be put through the ringer like this. If they can do it to a guilty person, they can clearly do it to an innocent one, too. And if I was wrongly accused of something, I wouldn't want to have done to me what was done to Avery and Dassey.

I think the petitions for letting them out of jail are crazy, and I'm not going to loudly proclaim their innocence anytime soon. To me, watching this wasn't so much about guilty vs. innocent, but more about a clearly corrupt system. Of course, it's not like this everywhere all the time, but it certainly could be. And obviously they can get away with it.
