I haven't been on the boards in forever and wanted to see if anyone was talking about this documentary. Sure enough, here we are. I'm only on the 4th episode so I have a way to go still.
I don't like that when Steve was young he threw the family cat into the fire. I get that we're young, and we do stupid things, but damn. I also don't like that some of his letters to his first wife, where he wrote that he would kill her. But that said, it's obvious he had nothing to do with the woman who was sexually assaulted and Steven spent 18 years of his life behind bars for crime he didn't commit. Was he a model citizen, not necessarily, but he didn't deserve to have 18 years taken away from him, all because the sheriff had some personal vendetta.
I'm not sure where I stand on the second wave of this story, it's too early to tell, there's to many unanswered questions for me, and I don't know yet how this story ends. But, say Steven is guilty, even someone of a simpler mind, (as they like to paint him) would be smart enough not to dispose of the vehicle (of someone they just murdered) on their own property, I mean come on, that just screams being framed. And I don't for a second believe, after his previous run ins with the law, that he would have the mind frame to be so cooperative with the search if he knew that vehicle was there. A guilty man had numerous days to run, and he didn't.
And then like others have said, where's the blood, wheres the DNA, why did it take 3 days to find the key, and how dare they question Brendan a 16 year old child, with no adults present, no attorney, the poor kid had no guidance. He didn't even understand that he was being arrested, my heart broke when he asked if he could make his 1:29 class, cause he had a project due.
To the family and friends of Teresa, I can't begin to imagine what this must be like, to have the world now involved in this case, to constantly relive these memories. I am truly sorry for your loss.
