What Is Going On In This Town?

In class, we watched episode 2 of Making A Murderer. One thing that really caught me off guard is that when confronted about the conversations that were documented, the people who were participating in the investigation denied or acted like they could not remember if that is what they said. They kept spinning the stories, trying to get out a tight spot. Stating that the document wasn't done right because that was not how they spoke.
The part when Penny asks for forgiveness and Avery gives her a hug came as a surprise to me. Penny was part of the reason why Avery went to jail. However, Avery never blamed Penny and forgave her. That was a huge shocker to me.
Another point that shocked me was the fact that when Avery was taken into custody for questioning regarding the murder of the reporter, he did not get a lawyer and his lawyer did not know where he was. I really hated the part where it shows video of the investigator telling Avery to confess and no one was against him because of the fact they did this investigation right this time. Yet, video of searching Avery's house was so bias and mean towards him that it was hard to believe him that the investigation was not a set up. It seems that this may be yet another murderer that the police framed Avery for.
