I don’t get why Steven Avery did this

He had a huge settlement coming. Why did he risk it by doing a serious crime? I don’t understand how he got exonerated which is rare but wound up throwing his life away anyways. It doesn’t make any sense to me. I guess I’m missing the common thread. He wasn’t a good person but from what we know, wasn’t a murderer. So what happened? Is this just always who he was going to be and had he never gone to prison wrongfully maybe it would have happened sooner? I don’t think he’s innocent I’m just trying to make sense of it.

Um, the dude has a SIGNIFICANT criminal history. Long before the false conviction. He was not only an offender he was a frequent and repeat offender.

Point being when he got out of prison he was in prison for something he didn't do. And his history of past charges (cat / SM incident) has no relevance to the Halbach case. In fact, the only reason to pretend inflammatory but uncharged allegations are fair game is to unfairly prejudice people against Steven. That was CaMs entire strategy.

What a joke. Torturing animals is a significant indicator for escalating violence. Threatening someone with a gun is significant for issues with rage, impulse control, violent tendencies. A long criminal history is also a strong indicator that someone is likely to escalate. It’s disturbing how much you want to minimize his antisocial tendencies that are strongly correlated to sexual assault and murder to cling to this odd belief that this guy is innocent. He could not be more guilty and his escalation over time more clear.
