Summary Of Making A Murderer By Jeff Truesdell

Another article I would like to discuss is from People magazine written by Jeff Truesdell, Neighbors of Making a Murderer's Steven Avery Speak Out About His Guilt or Innocence: 'Those of Us Who Live Here Know He's Guilty.’ In this article, Jeff Truesdell interviewed locals of Manitowoc County; Steven Avery’s neighbors. The neighbors paint an incredibly different picture than what is provided in Making a Murderer. The neighbors discuss how much safer they felt now that Steven Avery was back in jail, and how when he was released the first time they believed something strange happened. The general consensus of his neighbors was that he was guilty for the assault he was in jail for originally, and for the crimes he is in jail for now. One neighbor
even commented that, “We hope he doesn’t get out because of this,” in response to Making a Murderer. They even go as far to say that “If you don't live here, I can see how you would view it and think there are questions, but those of us who live here know that he's guilty." They suggest that people that think he is innocent should let them move in with their families, and see what kind of person he really is. They feel pity for Brendan, saying his uncle got him in this mess and can’t get him out.
