Un-Making a Murderer

The Framing of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey

De: Shaun Attwood

Narrado por: AmadeuS

Innocent people do go to jail. Sometimes mistakes are made. But even more terrifying is when the authorities conspire to frame them. That's what happened to Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, who were convicted of murder and are serving life sentences.

Un-Making a Murderer is an explosive book which uncovers the illegal, devious, and covert tactics used by Wisconsin officials, including:

• Concealing other suspects
• Paying expert witnesses to lie
• Planting evidence
• Jury tampering

The art of framing innocent people has been in practice for centuries and will continue until the perpetrators are held accountable. Turning conventional assumptions and beliefs in the justice system upside down, Un-Making a Murderer takes you on that journey.

The profits from this book are going to Steven and Brendan and to donate free books to schools and prisons. In the last two years, Shaun Attwood has donated 15,000 books.

Tons of New Information

I read reviews and almost returned this book within minutes of starting it. Yes, it's true that the narrator reads very fast. I usually have my speed set at 1:20 and I had to back him down to .95. It's also true that he uses some crazy impressions, some are poking fun, but most of them are pretty darn accurate, even if a characture of reality. They are certainly well researched. As for the writing, there are several times where the author uses long transcripts of events in telling this story. Surprisingly, with all I've read and researched, there were a lot of chunks of testimony that I've never heard. I don't agree with his end theory about meth users, but I think even as he says this, he still captures the essence of my number one suspect. I will admit that there is some antagonistic writing and it's will be off-putting to a guilter, but this information deserves a second look by the courts. I know, Zellner is trying.... Beyond a shadow of a doubt, there is so much room for doubt.

The pivotal story in American justice

Manitowoc County Sheriffs Department coerce a confession from a 16 year old mentally slow teenager at his school, without the presence of a lawyer.
in order to convict his Uncle in a crime that will save the county from the 36 million dollar lawsuit they owe him.
Shaun exposes the motive and tactics of the county from the lowest deputy to the DOJ Attorney General who's lack of ethics in the justice department destroy the lives of two men, while the killer goes free.
Steven Avery was framed for rape in a case that was later dismissed when the real killer was found and charged, because of a previous case of self interest involving the Manitowoc County Sheriffs Dept. This was the perfect opportunity for them to escape accountability,
and to frame him a second time.

interesting

I have heard this author in other platforms.So it was a pleasant surprise to find this out.He is very knowledgeable,with a cocky attitude of sorts.
He goes where others don't,or maybe they can't.

A little long in the tooth

This story needed to be told. Attwood gives the reader a taste of what it is like to be a juror. The overwhelming scientific evidence that is substantiated and refuted during trial can be confusing. This is a technical listen with no breaks for sleeping. Attwood makes you a juror. It is just the facts.

Free Steven Avery

Steven Avery was falsely accused of a sexual crime in 2003, and severed eighteen years of a thirty-two-year sentence. He was on the verge of a $36 million settlement from Manitowoc County in Wisconsin, when we arrested in 2005 for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. Investigators were able to persuade Avery's nephew Brendan Dassey, a highly suggestive teenager with a borderline IQ, into confessing that he and his uncle were responsible for the murder. In "Un-Making a Murderer," author Shaun Attwood pokes holes in the case against Avery, and suggests that evidence was planted against him. Attwood shows the shady side of district attorney Ken Kratz, and shares his theory of who is responsible for Halbach's murder.

Eye-Opening and Factual

If watching "Making a Murderer" has left you with any doubt as to the guilt or innocence of Steven Avery or Brendan Dassey, this book will provide the necessary information to eliminate doubt, and show innocence. While this book does contain some speculation and opinions (as every writer no doubt has), the majority of the topics brought to light are based on 100% fact. Meanwhile, the books written by opposing parties contain only the information they consider factual, which as the insurmountable evidence in this case shows, consists primarily of compromised "evidence" exhibits. It is astonishing that this information is available to anyone willing to look past their pre-determined bias, and so few (if any) have exercised that ability. Overall, truly shows the magnitude of effectiveness of the state justice system's unethical tactics can be when applied to the public, and a jury of our peers. This blind justice has prevented a real killer from being identified and captured, and took 2 more lives unnecessarily. This book covers all of that, and more. Phenomenal!

Good all around

Narrator was great. If you are into this case,this book is a good read or listen..

TRUTH

Would you listen to Un-Making a Murderer again? Why?

If you believe Steven Avery’s guilty after reading this book, then you truly are a diehard believer in a justice system that produced the likes of Ken Kratz. If you read Griesbach’s MAM books or Kratz they present the information in such a distorted way that you may have doubted Avery’s innocence. Attwood’s book puts to rest the myths perpetrated by these misleading authors and reveals the exact ten strategies the state of Wisconsin used to framed two innocent man.

Worst Reader EVER

While all of the books that review the case of Steven Avery and Brendon Dassey are most interesting, the man who "read" this book for us was the absolute worst reader I've ever heard. I could not finish the book, despite the material presented. This man should never again be allowed to read for Audible.

Horrible narration

The guy talks too fast and tries to impersonate ken kratz. It’s annoying to listen to and the story just repeats what MAM docu is. If you’ve that, no sense listening to this weirdo.
