What this documentary sets out to show is that the Avery family were targeted by police officers, evidence was supposedly planted, and confessions were coerced by Avery and another family member, both of which have less than average IQ's. It is all quite compelling, but I did some of my own research on the case as well as talked with some police officers I know, and it turns out the filmmakers left a few big details out of this documentary. In fact, I just read that a Season 2 is in order to cover some of this new material.
Do you think Avery killed the girl? Are they really a family of criminals or just a poor blue collar family being singled out by police?
Also, be sure to check out this additional info from Ranker.com, which includes a lot of left out bits with sourced information. Personally, I think Avery did it but the nephew was coerced.
