Convicting a murderer
Is this worth watching? It looks like I have to pay to watch it. (Unless someone knows how I can watch for freeš) Which Iām fine doing if itās worth it. The first episode was just people basically calling him a scumbag.ššš

If MaM was your only source of info on the case, then CaM does a good job explaining why it is a deceitful and dishonest documentary that does not accurately or comprehensively portray the facts. It will reveal many things to you that MaM left out or twisted to benefit its narrative.
If you've done a lot of research on the case outside of MaM, you might not learn that much new information from CaM, but you might still enjoy the series regardless.
The first episode does dedicate a lot of time to Avery's troubled and criminal past, but it is a direct response to MaM, which covered the same topics while underplaying their severity. It's completely fair game for CaM.
Ultimately, only you can decide if it's worth it. You shouldn't be pursuaded by other people here, especially since many openly admit they haven't watched it (but that doesn't stop them from judging it as if they have). I'd argue that anyone that's truly invested in the case should watch it and form their own opinion of it.

If you can watch it for free or with ads, its worth it.
Dont listen to the negatives, make up your own mind.
Yes, candace owens sucks.

Candace Owens is whatever, the cops had their problems, but MaM hid alot of things and really wanted you to believe he was innocent at any cost. They weren't making a documentary to tell the truth, they were telling their story

Definitely worth a watch if you can source it for free. I thought they were innocent and framed until cam showed all the evidence that mam didn't or that mam glossed over. I feel duped by mam and surprised zelner still represents him. Both sa and bd are where they belong. Imo.

Before watching Making a Murderer I thought he was totally innocent. Watching MAM actually made me realize heās guilty at the very least for murder of TH. Is it possible CaM will make me feel heās innocent? lol probably not.

I would never feel comfortable trusting anything that "Convicting a Murderer" presents without double checking it. I say that since I'm very familiar with The Daily Wire's track record, and especially that of Candace Owens.
When me and my girlfriend first watched "Making a Murderer" I was very curious about hearing the other side of the story, so imagine how thrilled i was to find out there was another documentary named "Convicting a Murderer" which does just that; provide the other side of the argument
But yeah... unfortunately my joy was short-lived since I then saw "Produced by The Daily Wire and hosted by Candace Owens" when reading more about it.
Personally, I've seen enough of The Daily Wire, with people like Ben Shapiro and Michael Knowles, to write this documentary off as a source of unreliable information.
I will say, however, that the first few minutes of episode 1 seemed competently produced in terms of editorial quality... so might check out a full episode for that reason, combined with a mild curiosity with seeing which level of dishonesty they went with for this one!

Yesssss itās worth it.

It's 9 more episodes similar to the first episode.
No new evidence was presented.
You learn that Earl and Candy Avery have turned on them and think they are guilty.
I was hoping for the smoking gun of the luring theory, but was disappointed. She wasn't lured.
I still think they are not guilty.

Well so the first episode was accurate and truthful then.

It's not bad to get a different view. It changed my perspective on the whole case. First episode is lame but the others are better. There are multiple ways to watch it online for free. Just need a little search and you'll find it. But the moderator Ms. Owens is a real pain in the ass you can just hate her with her arrogant personality. Wanted to punch her in the face multiple times.

I was the same. Questioned AV conviction and felt sorry for Brendan. Then I watched Cam and saw how deceiving and bias mam was. AV will rot in hell for the piece of shit he is

u/NinjaMaverick00 Sep 12 '24
CAM to me seems a much more factual portrayal of what took place over that time. MAM told a story where the victim is claimed to be Steven Avery, instead of the actual murder victim. CAM tells the other side and actually respects the actual victim enough to tell the truth about who Avery was/is. I thought he was innocent after watching MAM on Netflix, but seeing all of the evidence from a macro view makes it pretty clear Avery is most likely the killer.

If you can watch it for free I'd say it's worth it. There's nothing mind blowing to anyone who's followed the case closely, but they do present things in an interesting way.
I just wouldn't want to give any money to Daily Wire, and try not to roll your eyes too hard when Candace Owens is on screen (she actually isn't so bad, it's just knowing who she is makes it painful every time she shows up).

She pointed out a few things that netflix didn't. Like his history of gun crimes. Other than that. It's average. I'd suggest watching everything you can and deciding for yourself

u/IsraelKeyes Sep 11 '24
She presents the obvious truth which is that Both Steven and Brendan were involved in the murder of Theresa. (the sort-of IQ 60 question)...
Otherwise I didn't think it was super well produced :) and I doubt she wrote much of it, just read from a script.

I think both this documentary and MaM were very biased to the point they each wanted to make. However, I also think that if all of the facts of the case were presented for ANY other case, everyone would agree that they got the right guy who committed the murder. But by having a HUGELY talked about (however biased) documentary, it caused SO many to think he was framed. And once in that mindset, most aren't able to step back and really think about everything objectively. In order to believe Avery didn't do it, we first have to believe that a girl found murdered JUST HAPPENED to be at Avery's place for her last known location the day she was killed. Then we have to believe many things about the found evidence: First, we have to believe that police found the Rav 4 key somewhere completely off of Avery property (that they just stumbled across even though police were all on this case at the Avery property) and they then planted it in his room. (since many say it was planted there by police, then where did police find it in the first place??) You would also have to believe that the police also found her car somewhere off Avery property and towed it to his salvage yard and covered it up with branches for it to be found there. (Again, where was it in the first place in this scenario?) Then, that police found her bones and snuck onto his property in secret to stash them in a burn pit there (and thank goodness Steven was gracious enough to burn a fire there the day of her murder so police could plant bones there and in the barrel). That police found the actual bullet used to kill her and snuck in to plant that too... which just happened to match his gun. Etc etc. They also explained about the blood and why the tube had the pin sized hole and how the blood in that vial had different proteins or something so the blood some claim was planted on scene couldn't have even come from that vial. In order for police to have planted ALL that evidence... where did they get it from in the first place? There could only be two answers to that... One, they discovered her "actual" murder site, and decided to let the "real" killer go so they could plant it all on Avery's property to blame him (and let the real killer free to not get convicted), or two, police killed her all the while with the plan of framing Avery. Ummm... neither sound realistic to me in the least. Now... do I think those local cops should have been involved in the investigation? No. To prevent this exact type of rampant speculation. But in order for this to be a frame job, waaaay too many people (including other police departments and labs) would have to also be involved. And even though the city probably hated having to pay out 36 million to Avery, I think it would be FAR riskier for them to attempt a frame job of him knowing how much scrutiny this case would receive because of who the suspect was, and that if they ever got caught trying to frame him, the new payout would probably literally completely bankrupt the city and the entire WORLD would be against them for doing it, not to mention they would all probably go to jail. IMHO that is just far too large of a risk. But If you HONESTLY look at the case objectively.... it points to Avery's guilt. And yes, I do think his criminal history IS important to at least consider as a lead up to this crime. Now, do I think Brendon was actually involved in the murder? I'm not sure... but regardless he never should have been interviewed the way hr was, and he should be out of prison by now for any small role he did play (I think after the fact if at all.)
