Making A Murderer
Institutional Bias + Influence + Miscarriage of Justice
S1 EP1
Penny Beerntsten - Victim of sexual assault + attempted murder in 1985
Stephen Aver was wrongfully convicted, sentence to 32 years and served 18
The media coverage, more specifically from the local Manitowoc radio station was using information directly from the police and the courts i.e. 'the corrupted people'
Creating their own ideologies and influencing people to think a certain way.
strength of institutional bias (verging brainwashing like ideas)

" My sketch looks more like Steven Avery than Gregory Allen"
In response to the reliability of DNA Testing
Netflix Bias

There's also a constant referral to the painting of evidence
trying to make Avery always seem like the victim, is this what they want? It would definitely be easier to do after spending the entirety of the first case investigating his wrongful conviction.
Most of these things would not be seen on TV - Ofcom Regulations
Particularly the BBC, perhaps they never investigated it because there was not enough evidence for both sides to make sure it was a balanced documentary.
Documentaries have been dramatised over the years, Audience appeal???
Text:
‘claims that key evidence from the trial was omitted from the documentary’
‘"very
one-sided" and feels that viewers are "only getting one side of the
story’
‘Jodi Stachowski,
a former fiancée of Avery's, defended him in the documentary. But, during an
interview on HLN's Nancy
Grace in
January 2016, she was asked whether she believes Avery killed Halbach. She
said, "Yes, I do, because he threatened to kill me and my family and a
friend of mine."[42]
Stachowski also said that Avery forced her to lie to Netflix producers,
threatening that otherwise she would "pay for it." She quoted other
alleged hearsay comments by him.[42’

Brendan Dassey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Dassey
‘At the time of
his indictment, Dassey was a 16-year-old sophomore at Mishicot
High School.[4] With
an IQ in the borderline deficiency range, he was enrolled in special education classes.[5]’
The Netflix
series Making a Murderer (2015), which chronicles the trials of Dassey
and Avery, has generated global dialogue centered around wrongful
convictions, coerced
confessions,
interrogation of minors, and criminal
justice reform.[17]
The Justice system
His lack of understanding was manipulated
and rarely talked about within the show and the case.
More ideologies caused by the first case.
Personal gain – writing a book
‘reliability’
‘extreme villainization’
binary opposition with Avery in the first
episode where it was just about how he was wrongfully convicted.
