    They certainly covered the incident with the cop's wife. It was part of how they painted the cops as having a grudge against him.

    Sometimes I feel like Devil watched the show in a different language or mistakenly viewed what was edited out instead of what was left in.

    Well, Avery was not in jail at the time, so it makes sense that police were busy.

    Devil doesn't remember it, so it doesn't count.

    I'm usually against conspiracies, too many moving parts but if there's a frame job to be had, this was it.

    The dna evidence on the bullet violated the labs own protocol, admittedly contaminated, yet deemed conclusive, utterly ridiculous.

    Bones collected? Retrieval was so bad, haphazard with no set grid, no idea if bones were moved or not

    If the bones were moved, it would suggest someone else - like the killer -- was trying to pin this on Avery.

    I don' think the cops killed her, or found and moved her bones.

    So, unless someone else on the Avery property killed her, and framed Steven, I'm doubting the bones were moved. (Though, you're broader point stands. They did a poor job of retrieving the evidence.)

    Most of the real frame jobs I've studied don't have anything to do with manufacturing or tainting physical evidence, but instead with tainting witnesses or jail house informants. That's how it's actually done.

    That's how they convicted him in the earlier case.

    They convinced the witness that he was the rapist.

    Right. That's pretty typical. The procedures for things like interrogations and lineups are a lot better now, but it used to be the Wild West. I have a detective friend who hates that he has to film photo arrays and blames CPD, but that's what decades of corruption and incompetence gets you.

    Shouldn't that read "10 Times in American History That Maybe The Wrong Person Was Executed, Maybe Not"
