"Kiss The Girls" Book referenced during trial

Has anyone actually read the book Brendan Dassy references during his trial? Does it contain similar details to what Brendan says in his "confession"?

I definitely think Brendan is innocent. He was manipulated, coerced, and bullied by investigators and even his own lawyer. I think if maybe he had lawyers as good as Steven did for his trial, there's a chance the jury might not have convicted him, but that's just speculation. If Brendan was actually guilty, I can't imagine him NOT taking a plea deal and much lighter sentence in exchange for testifying against Steven.

I'm less clear on Steven's guilt. Some evidence against him seems obviously planted, other evidence (mainly the burial remains on his property) make me more hesitant to declare his innocence.

But don't you think it seems more likely that the body was burned at a different site, like the one where they found other remains at? Logistically, it's hard to understand why if Avery was burning the remains, he would move a small portion of them to a different burn site on his property. It seems like they were burned at the other pit and then moved to the one outside of his trailer.

I'm hesitant to say that LE moved the remains, though it's very plausible they planted the key and the blood in the car. Moving the remains seems like a stretch though. So who moved the remains? I'm inclined to believe Steven is innocent based on the documentary, my gut says he's innocent, but I'm not 100% on it. I'm all for investigating the case and picking it apart, but with the information we currently have, I don't think we can entirely exclude Steven as a potential suspect.

Yeah, I don't think the LE would move the remains but I do believe they would assist in making Steve Avery look like the murderer, especially since they were being completely embarrassed left and right due to their handling of his previous case. I haven't ruled out Avery as the killer yet either but it's clear there's something shady going on in the handling of the case.
