Check out my guest blog post, Steven Avery and the Criminal Justice Machinery, over at Criminal Element. (Many thanks to the folks at Criminal Element for having me on as a guest blogger.) In the post I give a brief overview of some of the serious flaws in Wisconsin's criminal justice system that led to the conviction of Steven Avery. Whether you think Avery did it or was framed (or both or something else entirely), one thing is for sure: the jury's irrational, split verdict -- based on Wisconsin's constitutionally defective burden of proof, no less -- tells us absolutely nothing.
And for other true crime stories, including posts on Amanda Knox and excerpts from several books, visit Criminal Element's "True Crime Thursday" section. Enjoy!
