There's a difference between omission and destroying evidence. They thought they had their man. The police can't go and investigate every "tip" when they have an eye-witness and the defendant was convicted in a jury trial. The police did their job. The jury did their job. The judge did his/her job. The witness/victim was wrong, not the police. I am very supportive of organizations such as the Innocence Project. What's ironic is that DNA was used to exonerate Avery and now that DNA was used to convict him, the excuse is that it was planted. Whatever.

Also, where did you get those details from his rape trial that I bolded?

Just from watching the show (it was the female detective who assisted in questioning the witness) and she admitted to that in the AG investigation on camera that she mentioned Avery's name to the witness during questioning "sounds like Avery" was the direct quote used. The photoartist showed the witness a picture of Avery. I'll agree to disagree on how you saw LE/DA conduct regarding Avery in the first round. LE doesn't have time to track down tips w/detailed information deemed important enough to advance it to their superiors who also conveniently happened to be in on the initial investigation? Yeah, that sounds legit...I'm sure in a rural area where this took place the crime rate is atrocious.

It was a case of the local Police and local Sheriff being at odds instead of working together....the Police were following the real rapist every day except the day the rape happened...they never shared that with the Sheriff's Dept who had jurisdiction in this case......the ID was handled all wrong but an eye witness identification from the actual victim is hard to ignore....

but it wasn't until 10 years later that they Sheriff's Dept got the tip about having the wrong guy on a rape in the area.....they screwed up not looking into it but a lot of jailhouse talk is bs... but the first case has nothing to do with the second case....any liablilty for the civil suit was going to be on the County and their insurers.....no one would be personally liable no matter what the film makers said.... there was no incentive for someone to risk their career to frame Avery
