I see everyone wants to "cash" in on the guy. I will be interested to see. Its kind of amazing to see the publicity this case has gotten. I watched the doc before I even knew what it was and before people started getting into it. Based on commentary afterwards, guilty or not; I think its clear the writers of the documentary provided a slanted view of the case. I thought Serial provided more of an unbiased perspective on that case while this one was one sided.

He spoke about actual memories/moments of being sexually abused.
I'm not sure he's innocent. No one can be sure of that. I do think it's more likely than not that he is innocent, though.
The documentary was told from the perspective of the defense, there's no doubt about that. In that way, it is slanted. But it presents the major pieces of evidence in the case. There are things left out that the prosecution put forward, and there are things left out that the defense put forward, like the expert who testified there was no way that burn pit could have been hot enough to burn a body to the degree in which Halbach's body was burned.
Most of Dassey's words, both in the confessions and in his phone calls to his mother, consisted of one to four or five words at a time. He called his mother to 'confess' right after the police told him to do that before they told her. I'm almost positive it was on that same exact phone call that he then recanted again.
Just finished it last night. Way too many uncertainties for Avery to be convicted, but he still may have done it. The theory that Bobby Dassey and his step father committed the murder makes a lot of sense to me. I'll be shocked if the truth doesn't eventually come out - seems like this case isn't going to go away until it does, now that it's received all of this national publicity.
