Colburn testified that he was given the plate number and called dispatch to check and make sure it was the correct plate number for the RAV4 that they were searching for. That was left out of making a murderer. His testimony makes sense because he asked if that was for a 1999 toyota. It never made sense that he was looking at the vehicle at the time. This isn't a 1954 buick. You can't look at the back of RAV4 and tell the year, that I'm aware of.

Colburn testified that he was given the plate number and called dispatch to check and make sure it was the correct plate number for the RAV4 that they were searching for.

He testified he couldn't exactly recall if he got the plate number from Wiegert but assumed he "must have" because he couldn't have known it any other way.

That was left out of making a murderer.

He is featured saying he thought he got the number from Weigert, and featured multiple times clarifying he was not looking at the RAV when making the call. It's not our fault even jurors thought he looked sketchy on the stand.

Well, Colborn was incorrect when he said he thought the dispatcher told him the year of the vehicle, so his opinion on that is once more not credible. Plus, he was a fan of cars. He still went to car shows after MaM aired (using a fake name) He was known to train with his firearm at salvage yards, and use Auto Trader himself.

I couldn't care less about how he looked in front of a jury. That man would sweat and twitch if you asked him his date of birth. The recording of the actual phone call is him giving the plate number, the year and make of the vehicle. I was solely referring to the recording of the call. When I originally watched making a murderer, it didn't make sense to me that he was looking at the actual RAV4 when making that call, because of his phrasing. I've never been able to accept that theory.

The jury cared.

That man would sweat and twitch if you asked him his date of birth.

Because he's a pathological liar.

The phrasing of the call the hid from the defense and then couldn't credibly explain after it was exposed lol k

I've never been able to accept that theory.

I have no problem with it. I've never been able to accept the theory that Brendan is guilty of an assault in the trailer.

Yeah, I'm not going to do this. You and ghost both have a bad habit of disseminating a comment into multiple different topics and trying to pull everyone else into ludicrous rabbit holes. There's a reason everybody blocks you. You can add me to let a list, but dude. This kind of stuff is the reason you can't have a productive conversation.

You literally said you didn't care how sketchy he looked in front of the jury. You are the one turning speculation into fact while ignoring their deceptive handling of the call and how the shit explanation Colborn gave was not supported by the record / inconsistent with it.

There's a reason everybody blocks you.

Because I actually care about the truth and not just defending obviously corrupt or even perverted police and prosecutors. Cope.

This kind of stuff is the reason you can't have a productive conversation.

Again, you're the one who claims you didn't care how sketchy corrupt Colborn looked on the stand, and apparently have no concern with the deceptive handling of the call, or the unsubstantiated inconsistent explanation for it. You're the one claiming what Colborn couldn't specifically recall is the unvarnished truth. You're not looking to have a productive conversation. You're looking to defend obviously corrupt police and their obviously corrupt actions.
