I'm just about done this series, on episode 9 now. I have to say it's very well done.

I find that regardless of the verdict, this wasn't a fair trial at all. Ken Kratz's statement about "reasonable doubt is for innocent people" is incorrect, the point of reasonable doubt is that you have to prove that someone is more than 50% likely to have committed the crime in order to claim they're guilty (hence the "beyond a reasonable doubt".

I got to hand it to Steven Avery's lawyers, Jerome Buting and Dean Strang, though. They were both very genuine and sincere the entire way.
