In the first episode of the series, Avery talks about goofing off, throwing the cat over a fire, and seeing it catch flame. Kratz paints a different picture, telling the Wrap that the incident was more sinister. "He soaked his cat in gasoline or oil, and put it on a fire to watch it suffer."
Kratz claimed that Avery's DNA was found under the hood of Halbach's car: The series, and Avery's guilt, hinges on the idea that police planted DNA evidence — his blood — to incriminate him. But Kratz explained to Maxim that Avery's DNA, via his sweat, was found on the hood of Halbach's car. He said:
Avery’s DNA (not blood) was on the victim’s hood latch (under her hood in her hidden SUV). The SUV was at the crime lab since [the day Halbach's car was found]…how did his DNA get under the hood if Avery never touched her car? Do the cops have a vial of Avery’s sweat to "plant" under the hood?
Kratz said Halbach's phone, camera, and PDA were found burned on Avery's property.
He also said that Halbach's tooth was found in the fire pit.
Kratz claimed that ballistics found that the bullet found in the garage was fired by Avery's rifle: Kratz explains that there's no way the police could have planted the bullet, since the gun that fired it was in an evidence locker. The police would have had to get the gun out of evidence, fire the gun, plant the bullet on the day of the investigation, and return the gun to the locker. Kratz told the Wrap:
The bullet had to be fired BEFORE [officials searched Avery's property]—did the cops borrow his gun, fire a bullet, recover the bullet before planting the SUV, then hang on to the bullet for 4 months in case they need to plant it 4 months later???
Avery stalked Halbach at her work (Autotrader), according to Kratz.
Avery called Halbach three times on the day she went missing: Avery allegedly targeted Halbach the day she went missing and called her three times. "For two of those phone calls, phone records indicated he used the star-67 feature, which is dialed to hide a caller's identity," New York's Daily News reported.
The third call, Kratz claims, was an alibi call deliberately made after Avery allegedly abducted her.
While in prison, Avery allegedly told another inmate that he wanted to build a torture chamber.
Should we believe prosecutor Kratz that Avery is guilty, and that Making a Murderer manipulates viewers by not disclosing all the evidence?
