Summary
NYC CRIME REPORT SPECIAL
Documentary Series Making a Murderer was widely viewed and it's bullshit.
In this episode, prosecutor Ken Kratz, co-lead investigator Tom Fassbender and host Pat Dixon discuss just a few of the ways in which the makers of Making a Murderer bent the truth for profit and in the process, essentially became the PR firm of a cold convicted killer.
a note from the host - NYC Crime Report fans are aware, I never discuss crimes that occur outside the city. This is why I made the exception. Given the opportunity to interview these men, I couldn't pass. Given the importance of what they're saying, I had to post it right away. Check out Kratz's book Avery at crimereport.nyc.
