"Making a Murderer" has created a stir of controversy over the conviction of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey. The Netflix original documentary series portrays how Steven Avery was supposedly targeted and framed for the murder of Theresa Halbach. The series is set up in the form of 10 one-hour episodes, in which each one leaves the audience wondering did he or didn't he? The reason the trial has created such a recent storm is because more than 380,000 viewers recently signed a petition to free the two men. The state denied their early release, which leaves some people to wonder if there more to the story. Here is the evidence that Netflix didn't show you.

1. There was more DNA found in the RAV4

The focus was placed on the blood with supposedly no finger prints, but sources say Avery's DNA found under the hood of the car. The idea that investigators could have carried around multiple forms of his DNA is unlikely.

2. His ex-fiancee said he's a monster

Jodie, who was portrayed as loving and loyal to Steven Avery, recently spoke out to Nancy Grace on Headline News Network. She stated, "[He's] a nice person, semi-nice person, and then behind closed doors... he's a monster" She goes on to explain that he said, "All females owe him, and he could do whatever he wanted." This sheds light on some of his character traits and treatment towards women.

3. Avery called Auto-Trader and requested Theresa

Theresa Halbach supposedly told her boss that she was "creeped out" by Avery and refused to go back to his residence. Avery allegedly called using a different name and specifically requested that Theresa come to his residence. Avery then apparently called her personal cell phone three times using a blocked number the day she was killed. None of this proves he killed her, but it does show something fishy was happening between Halbach and Avery.

4. Avery had plans to murder again

Avery supposedly drew up plans to build a torture chamber for a young woman while he was serving time. In 2006, the District Attourny said Avery demonstrated intent to murder, torture, rape and hurt women again if he got out of prison

5. The system is corrupt

Unfortunately, this type of flaw in the justice system is rather common. To protect the government, we often do not hear about these cases. The criminals often just go to jail and the public "forgets," like Steven Avery talked about at the end of the series. The issue of a false confession is underrated. The New Yorker found that of 311 people who were convicted more than a quarter gave a false confession for their crimes.


Regardless of the state of innocence of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, the story is rather interesting. It holds your attention and feels like you're sitting right there in the court house. The production of the documentary was for a purpose, and the viewer can decide what that might be.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
