Summary Of Making A Murderer By Jeff Truesdell
Another article I would like to discuss is from People magazine written by Jeff Truesdell, Neighbors of Making a Murderer's Steven Avery Speak Out About His Guilt or Innocence: 'Those of Us Who Live Here Know He's Guilty.’ In this article, Jeff Truesdell interviewed locals of Manitowoc County; Steven Avery’s neighbors. The neighbors paint an incredibly different picture than what is provided in Making a Murderer. The neighbors discuss how much safer they felt now that Steven Avery was back in jail, and how when he was released the first time they believed something strange happened. The general consensus of his neighbors was that he was guilty for the assault he was in jail for originally, and for the crimes he is in jail for now. One neighbor

    In 1903 the late Mrs. Annie Johnson of Arkansas found herself with two toddling sons, very little money, a slight ability to read and add simple numbers. To this picture add a disastrous marriage and the burdensome fact that Mrs. Johnson was a Negro. When she told her husband, Mr. William Johnson, of her dissatisfaction with their marriage, he conceded that he too found it to be less than he expected, and had been secretly hoping to leave and study religion. He added that he thought God was calling him not only to preach but to do so in Enid, Oklahoma. He did not tell her that he knew a minister in Enid with whom he could study and who had a friendly, unmarried daughter. They parted amicably, Annie keeping the one-room house and William taking most of the cash to carry himself to Oklahoma.…

    The FBI states that “54.3 percent of murder victims were killed by someone they knew (acquaintance, neighbor, friend, boyfriend, etc.), and 24.8 percent were killed by a family member.” The evidence shows that this is logically the case in the Verbermockle murder mystery. After allegedly finding Mrs. Verbermockle’s husband unconscious on the bathroom floor, Mrs. Verbermockle calls her family doctor. Mrs. Verbermockle claimed that he must have slipped on a bar of soap, and she did not touch him. When the doctor arrived, he announced Mr. Verbermockle dead from a fracture to the rear of the skull caused from blunt force. However, if the FBI statistics are correct, then it is likely that Mrs. Verbermockle is the killer. Although…

    I would now like to look at the opposing side, those that feel police corruption is not present in Steven Avery’s case, or in the United States as a whole. The first article, from ABC News, is entitled Making a Murderer': Is Steven Avery Guilty? A Deeper Look Into Netflix Series. In this article, Ken Kratz, the prosecutor of the case, is interviewed. He discusses that the Netflix documentary leaves out several key pieces of evidence, which prove Steven and Brendan are guilty. The article makes a point in stating that Ken is now a defense attorney. Ken states that the filmmakers left out two key pieces of evidence: the car’s hood latch and the phone calls. DNA from sweat was found on the hood latch of Teresa’s car, and upon testing matched Steven Avery.…

    In Monster, by Walter Dean Myers, the reader learns from Steve Harmon’s experiences that sometimes guilt or innocence of a person might not be determined by solid evidence but by onlooker’s opinions and interpretation of the crime. There is not a large amount of scientific evidence in the case against Steve Harmon, so the jury must rely on Steve’s background information, their opinions of guilt and innocence, and the testimonies of the witnesses who are mostly criminals.…

    In the second case, the Fundamental Attribution Error is more easily seen. Although Steven Avery had been proven to be innocent, many people may have already had a subconscious belief that he was a rapist. His story was covered as he came out of jail, but it was rehashed a million different ways when Theresa disappeared and when her remains were found in Steven Avery’s fire pit. The media had already convicted and sentenced him in the court of public opinion (Netflix). The jury of Steven’s peers didn’t enter the courtroom unaffected. They percieved him as a person who was a cruel killer.…

    Casey Anthony Trial

    In some ways, the Casey Anthony trial reveals the way that media influence, including the way it is presented online, affects public perception. When one looks at the pages and information that pop up when one searched for information on the trial, a great deal of attention has been given to the way that certain commentators in the media, like Nancy Grace, tried to focus on the inconsistent and, most would say, deplorable behavior of Anthony and the tragedy of the death itself to draw ratings, but far fewer actually focused on the objective legal facts of the case. Thus, when someone sought to find out about the trial, whether through television outlets or online, quite often they were presented with a sensationalistic view of the case, rather than commentary that revealed the problems that the prosecution had with its case, like the lack of an established motive or cause of death, the very issues that prompted the jury to acquit. However, because these issues, or other very basic legal concepts like reasonable doubt, were not given their proper coverage during the trial, most people were outraged with the verdict and believed that the jury had been made of ignorant people, when in reality, their acquittal seems reasonable in a legal context.…

    People become serial killers for a reason. The expression “Serial Killers” first presumably originated in 1970 by late FBI Agent Robert Ressler. Before this time society categorized them with Mass Murders. Agent Ressler was lecturing at a college when he heard someone describe the killing as having an unending ‘serial’ cycle. Going back to his childhood, he remembered the movie industry titled “Serial Adventures” which showed short films of Batman and other heroes. None of the shows that were played came to a gratifying close. It always left you wanting more. Ressler came to the conclusion that there should be two separate category’s for mass murders, a single killing of many people at one location, and serial homicide, multiple killings that…
