Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

Has anybody had the chance to watch this yet? A documentary that was filmed over a 10 year span.

I finished up the documentary about a week ago, and now I'm seeing it all over social media. It entails the unusual case of Steven Avery of Wisconsin (Manitowoc County), who wrongfully served 18 years in prison for a rape he didn’t commit. Shortly after being exonerated and released, he would be convicted of separate and non-related rape/murder charges, and eventually sentenced to life in prison only 2 years later (2007).

I racked my brain while watching the show, and couldn't remember the case ever being heavily run on any news networks. I'm sure some of you remember the case, however, as this only happened 8 years ago.

There has been a lot of outside information arising recently, citing that Netflix left out a lot of key information/evidence tied to the prosecution's case. Definitely some interesting viewpoints which add to the already ambiguous sentencing. Falsely imprisoned again? Framed or not? Crooked county cops? Who's to say.

Currently there is a petition with around (last I checked) 170K signatures, calling for his pardon.

Not much interested in it. It's a matter for Wisconsin, and her citizens. I'd take an interest if it was a Virginia case.

If one tries to expend energy on every perceived injustice, one will find himself exhausted and ineffective in everything, so one should choose ones battles wisely.

How profound

Be that as it may, it's a fascinating short series worth a watch. I enjoyed it, anywho..

One would figure that if one witnessed injustice (perceived or not) happening around them, one would take interest.

Great show. Just finished binge watching it this past weekend. I wonder if they will do a new season with a different person?
