I don't read more into anyone's comments, yours included, than what is there at face value. I agree... based on the documentary, there were some nefarious actors who seemed to be covering stuff up. Whether that is factual or not, who really knows? Anyone can spin a series of events, regardless of whether intentional or coincidental, to support their argument.
I watched it. I wasn't completely convinced Avery was innocent, however. But there was enough there (for me) in that documentary that would create a modest degree of reasonable doubt. The jury felt otherwise.
Our justice system isn't perfect. No justice system in any territory on the planet is. We've seen enough people convicted of crimes they didn't commit, who've spent years incarcerated, have their convictions overturned because of accurate, corroborated DNA evidence made available years later.
It is the only system we have. The other side of this would be a Tom Cruise sci-fi script ala Minority Report, which to me is much more frightening than scientifically linking skin cells, bodily fluids and fabric of someone to being at the place of the crime, with 1b to one odds.
As for DNA... If I were falsely accused of something that I didn't do, absolutely. Get a sample from me so I can clear my name. I've yet to hear a single case where the DNA was wrong. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened, I don't know. But if I'm in that situation - yes. It is hard to plant DNA without getting caught. No one is that perfect, not even the experts themselves. I've watched enough Forensic Files to have an idea how to commit the perfect crime, but the problem is that no matter how much that program educates me - I'm not perfect enough to outsmart myself.
