I can see why they're covering for each other, if the prosecution or the police become tainted by this, everythig they're touched in the past will be brought up again, which maybe it should be if these are the tactics they've used before.
I can only get inside my own head, but still if I had a mega settlement from the country for that previous wrongful conviction (Colborn should have been fired / jailed before he even had a chance to be part of the Halbach investigation), I would stay out of any trouble, and then with the money, just move somewhere else.
And what's with Bobby Dassey? He had child pornography found on his computer and he's still out there? How is he not in jail?

And I think this is ultimately the concern.
That they've been lying and BSing and abusing their power for so long that if anything tugs at that thread the whole house of cards could come toppling down.
But if thats the case how much of the work that these people have done has been founded on lies? How many innocent people are in jail?
What really floors me is the clear and obvious abuses of power within the Justice System and the District Attorney 'investigates' and clears everyone of any wrong-doing? How the F?
This is how they have absolutely obliterated any trust between the Citizenry and Law Enforcement.
When you see things like riots and everything else you can clearly see that there is no respect for Law Enforcement, any and all Goodwill between these two parties is completely destroyed and then when you see things like this documentary you have to ask yourself:
"How can you blame them?"
When miscarriages of justice are so commonplace as to no longer be out of the ordinary how can you blame citizens for distrusting the Police?
And then you watch that youtube video (which I'm not done yet) and you cant even talk to the Police? There is a long and storied track record of Police pinning things on innocent people and its gotten so severe that you cant even speak to them without a lawyer, and it has to be a private lawyer! Because Public Defenders are associated with the Police and the Judges and might not have your best interest at heart.
So again, its not about Avery or Dassey but really how deep the corruption in the Justice system goes.
Its like a bad episode of 'The Office.' Nobody wants to say anything or step on anyone's toes because you have to work with them the next day.
And its systemic! It starts with the Cops, goes to the lawyers and prosecutors and goes all the way up to the Judges in the various different level of Courts.
Holy Hell! Somebody grow a pair of balls and step up and say something already!
