Netflix’s ‘Making A Murderer’ Criticized For Being Bias; Steven Avery More At Ease In Prison?
The Netflix series, "Making a Murderer," continues to draw flak for allegedly skewing the interview and evidence to Steven Avery's favor.
This time, a new book from Jessica McBride, titled "Rush to Judgment: The Unfiltered Story Of Steven Avery," which will reportedly debunk all the claims in "Making a Murderer."
"When I started looking into the case file for OnMilwaukee.com, I was rather shocked to see how much the documentary distorted things," she said.
Talking about her book, she explained, "Essentially, it's a fuller view of the evidence, and I think it will lead people to a different conclusion than Netflix did."
Meanwhile, Steven Avery has realized what most inmates who spent a lot of time in prison just how difficult it is to adjust on life outside.
Tom Kertscher confirmed as much in an article for Bustle when he recounted his conversation with Steven Avery shortly after his release from prison on sexual assault charges that were proven to be false by DNA evidence.
"Avery and I sat a few feet across the kitchen table from each other for an interview, as he described struggling with his new freedom," he wrote. "His blood pressure had actually risen since he left prison. 'Sometimes I feel like it's easier in there.'"
Nevertheless, Netflix's "Making a Murderer" and the case of Steven Avery succeeded in creating debates about the flaws in the justice system that could send an innocent man to jail.
Forbes even went further by describing "Making a Murderer" as Netflix's most "significant show ever."
Paul Tassi wrote in his column, "This feels like the first truly national conversation Netflix has started about one of its shows. Yes, many are discussing the latest schemes of Frank Underwood or heroics of Jessica Jones for a few days after those shows air, but this feels like something much more profound."
