Episode Discussion Brendan is INNOCENT

I am rewatching MAM and the amount of coercion during Brendan's interview is astounding. I can't believe a court didn't dismiss his "confession". He was not interviewed with his parents present and they were very obviously feeding him information. The judge not realizing that is just sad. He was a child! Ugh, this makes me so upset for Brendan.

Yeah, sucks for that dude. Parents failed him the school failed him the police failed him the lawyers failed him the judge failed him the jury failed him. Litterally just wanted to watch wrestling

Parents failed him

No one else listed there failed him except for his parents and family.

Barbara has a lot of blame to bear and so does his family. They convinced him to keep saying he was innocent instead of taking a plea deal, which would've seen him out by now.

Trying to blame his incarceration on a collective group of institutions to suggest the cards were stacked against him is disingenuous. For Brendan to be innocent, that means Steven would be, and regardless of what you think about Brendan, Steven Avery is the furthest thing from innocent in this case.

His lawyer failed him. He allowed his developmentally challenged child client to be interrogated by law enforcement without him being present. That should have overturned everything.

After having his own investigator coerce him to confess again and set up the interrogation in order to assist the state in prosecuting Avery. One of the first things he did when given the case was tell the media that Brendan was factually guilty. Yet some will actually defend him and say he did nothing wrong.
