Just binged watched season 2. My buddy knows Kathleen Zellner and has tremendous respect for her as a legal adversary. You do not want this woman after you. She is slow and methodical like a terminator...
It is hard to believe that an entire police dept would work to protect a murderer to frame someone else even if they wanted to...with that said, they sure did have a motive. The lawsuit was going after them all personally.
Zellner points out huge inconsistencies, but this whole season could have been done in 1/2 the time. Lots of filler. Here is my main problem; How could two people shackle a girl to a bed, rape her, stab her in the stomach, slit her throat, and then drag her in the garage and shoot her in the head with absolutely no dna/blood anywhere. They had two separate trials with two different versions of the murder for each.
The whole thing sounds like a horrific Jerry Springer audition gone wrong.The murder didn't happen the way Brendan confesses. He is too stupid for the real story not to come out once they had him on the ropes. The cops clearly wanted his story to support the story they had to go after Steve. The cops were so eager to convict Steve that they railroaded him. Planted DNA, withheld evidence.
But...he is a piece of S#!t and may have been involved in the murder. I'm not going to lose any sleep over him. I do wonder when someone involved in the coverup will crack. They always do. Then everyone starts pointing fingers at someone else.
