Again, I think that the abuse of power by the 'legal and justice' systems is the ultimate theme of this documentary. Avery and Dassey aside what is trying to be conveyed here is how much power can be wielded against average citizens based on little to no evidence.
And that is terrifying.
I would love to watch this series with MBates, I imagine that the TV would not survive the ordeal and I wouldnt blame him one bit.
I'm no lawyer but I've had far more than my fair share of 'You have got to be F'in kidding me!!!' moments while watching this.
Again, its not about Avery or Dassey, its about what the Legal system can get away with.
