Summary

Innocent people do go to jail. Sometimes mistakes are made. But even more terrifying is when the authorities conspire to frame them. That's what happened to Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, who were convicted of murder and are serving life sentences.

Un-Making a Murderer is an explosive book which uncovers the illegal, devious, and covert tactics used by Wisconsin officials, including:

  • Concealing other suspects
  • Paying expert witnesses to lie
  • Planting evidence
  • Jury tampering

The art of framing innocent people has been in practice for centuries and will continue until the perpetrators are held accountable. Turning conventional assumptions and beliefs in the justice system upside down, Un-Making a Murderer takes you on that journey.

The profits from this book are going to Steven and Brendan and to donate free books to schools and prisons. In the last two years, Shaun Attwood has donated 15,000 books.

Not the book that this case deserves

I purchased this book after watching the 2 seasons of the Netflix documentary "Making A Murderer".

Like most people that have seen it I was intrigued by the murder case of Teresa Halbach and the subsequent trials and appeals of those found guilty. But I was curious about the facts of the case beyond those that were presented in the programme. Mostly because while I was watching it I was aware of how biased it was towards those two defendants. After all, they had been found guilty and from the way the programme was presented you would believe that nobody in the world, other than the investigating police force, agreed with that verdict.

A quick look around the internet (Google/Reddit) tells you that there are plenty of people who do not accept the programme's interpretation of the evidence and make good points about the supposed guilt or innocence. This audiobook had good reviews, so I was hoping that it would present things that I had not heard, or at least provide a fresh questioning voice to give a counterpoint to the TV programme.

Sadly, it is even more biased.Also, if you have not watched the show it would be absolutely incoherent. There are some things raised that I had not heard but there is very little detailed analysis and a lot of questionable assertions. The content is also very poor. Large parts of it are just verbatim narrations of the Brendon Dassey confession. It begins with a dictated letter from the author to one of the prosecution lawyers where he suggests that he hopes the lawyer ends up in prison and has a mishap in the showers. Very odd.

On the plus side the narrator does do a good job at distinguishing character voices.

So if you want a book that provides a more balanced look at the case look elsewhere. I am not sure there is one yet, but Reddit is a good place to start. I remain unconvinced either way. I hope that some more of the truth comes out, the victims family deserves it.

More proof of innocence

Great book giving even more detail than MaM. How is it that it is clear to everyone, except the US justice system, that Steven was framed!

Read or listen for Steven and Brendan

This book covers every detail of the gross miscarriage of justice in the case of Messrs Avery and Dassey. It’s a hard listen in places, especially when Brendan is being coerced into his confession, but an essential read for anyone with any interest in this case.

Thank you.

I have put off listening to this for years. Before listening to this I was of the opinion that the right people were in prison for this crime. After listening to this now 100% convinced.

Showsthe shocking case for what it really is

Brilliant book I have followed so much about this case but this was by far the clearest to show the shocking truth of this set up. I hope one day they find out what truly happened to this poor woman.

Well written

Very well written. Highlights the inadequacies in the case of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey. It's shocking how someone can be wrongly convicted once, let alone twice. The justice system in the USA has a lot to answer for

Mostly interogation re-reading

This book was honestly quite weak, a large chunk of the book is just a re-reading of the interogation of Brandon and is all done in their voices. was expecting better from the book and quit at 6 hours.

Disappointed with this book

I brought this book, in hopes of finding out more stuff about this case. I haven’t been able to finish though as the silly voices in my opinion bring a attempted comic vibe to a serious matter. I’m the first to say I dislike KK but the childish voices are unnecessarily and ruin the listen.

A must for MAM followers.

Answers a lot of questions in detail. Brilliantly written with very clear narration. Thank you for spreading the word on SA & BD's injustice.
