The Framing of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey - Un-Making a Murderer

Well written and captures the true facts about 2 innocent people at the hands of a political agenda. An over zealous prosecutor kratz with more power than he deserves. Twists narrative to match his own. Uses narcissism to win. W a team of invetigators who sold their souls for a fake win. Very clear.

Excellent book for those who are interested in the truth. A thorough insight into how the system is flawed. I am not sold on the theory offered at the end as to who killed Theresa. But parts of it might just be right. I feel sorry for the Hallbach family not having the right person convicted. Surely everyone wants that person/s behind bars.

with shauns first hand knowlege of the system this is a must read for all who want the truth.
Shaun says it as it is, and has been a big activist for both Steven and Brendan.
I urge anybody who has any interest in the case to read this book there is no other book to give you information and the truth, thank you Shaun.

If you believe Steven Avery’s guilty after reading this book, then you truly are a diehard believer in a justice system that produced the likes of Ken Kratz. If you read Griesbach’s MAM books or Kratz they present the information in such a distorted way that you may have doubted Avery’s innocence. Attwood’s book puts to rest the myths perpetrated by these misleading authors and reveals the exact ten strategies the state of Wisconsin used to framed two innocent man.

I got around to downloading your book in-making a murderer. I got about 2 more hours to go listening to it. I've been listening to it while I'm driving and going on runs. It's mind boggling that the justice system can be rigged to do this to people like Brendan and Steven. I remember when this first came about when I was 19 when I heard it on the news and I shouted at the tv saying it was a frame job. It's even worse when I turned out to be right. Anyway what I have heard so far in your book is even more proof that these two men had nothing to do with this horrible crime. Nice work and thank you for getting the truth out!

Cannot stop reading this. I love Shaun Attwood's books as they have all made very interesting reading. Having watched 'Making a murderer' on Netflix gives an honest view about 2 men wrongly convicted. If you enjoyed 'Making a murderer', you need to read this book.

Although I have not seen the Netflix program on this matter, curiousity got the better of me.
Shaun Attwood writes of the injustices bestowed upon these two men. I believe Shaun did an excellent job spelling out what this uncle and his nephew have been going through.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book through Reading Deals in exchange for an honest review of the book.

Thank you Shaun for once again exposing the truth, the corruption. It is refreshing to have people exposing what a injustice has been done to two individuals, and their Families all the while Theresa's murderer is walking free.. Where is HER justice when this is what happened? Excellent Book, keep up the good work, it is greatly appreciated.

Amazing book! Loved learning some new information. I agree with Shaun until the end. I believe the 2 men that actually murdered TH were in MAM. And we are all going to be shocked at the connection. Zellner will reveal soon enough. Let's wait and see! Thank you Shaun for a sharing your gift as a brilliant author! Cheers from ?? Canada.

If you want a no nonsense breakdown of the framing of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey for the murder of Teresa Halbach this is the book for you, it full of factual information that can't fail to convince the logical person that the above mentioned are innocent of the crimes they are in prison for.

Reading this book was bitter sweet, i love that the truth is being put out there and that was evident on every page of this book, but it made me so angry that these poor souls are still behind bars for something they clearly did not do. I read this book in 2 days as i really could not put it down. I Recommended everyone to read this book.

The author has publicly admitted he didn't do research for this book and it is full of errors and lies. Check his twitter feed and reddit AMA. Some notable errors:

- He claims only one tooth was found in the burnpit and prosecution claimed Avery pulled out all of Teresa's teeth but one. This is 100% made up. 22 tooth fragments were found and prosecution claimed no such thing.

- He claims Brendan Dassey was promised he could just go home if he confessed to rape and murder. This is 100% made up, he's never told any such thing.

- He claims no suspects but Avery were investigated. 100% made up. Her prior Auto Trader appointment and recent ex were asked for alibis, and every adult on the Avery property submitted DNA and fingerprint samples.

- He claims there was a secret interview between Fassbender and Brendan in Crivitz. This is 100% made up. Fassbender was in Manitowoc during the time this made-up interview supposedly took place.

- He claims Brendan didn't "get to tell the jury" why he confessed. This is made up. Brendan testified in his trial.

- He claims it's "ludicrous" that the scene was bleached. This is a lie. Brendan testified in his trial to bleaching the garage (after recanting other parts of his confession), his bleach-stained jeans were collected, and his mother confirms he bleached the garage with Steven on 10/31.

- He claims the bullet found in Avery's garage couldn't be matched to his gun. 100% fabrication, the bullet was matched to the exact gun that hung over Avery's bed, and defense didn't present any expert that could refute that.

- He claims a judge ordered Manitowoc County to stay off the case. 100% fabrication, Manitowoc voluntarily ceded control to Calumet and no orders were ever given by anyone, let alone a judge, telling them to stay off.

- He claims bones and Teresa's phone were found in the same barrel. Shows how little research he did- they were found in different barrels.

- He claims the Manitowoc County coroner grabbed supplies and went to Avery's but was denied access. 100% fabrication, she never went to Avery's.

- He seems to think Ertl, a DCI investigator, was the Calumet County Coroner. Seriously, NO research went into this book!

- He just makes up that a body would take 16 hours to burn, while actual experiments show a body can be reduced to ash using only wood in less than 5 hours. Avery also used tires and a van seat, not just wood.

- He claims human bones were found in the quarry nearby. Not true, some "suspected possible human" bones were found that were never confirmed as human or matched to Teresa.

- It's impossible to summarize how little he understands science, but basically every time he tries to mention it he's wrong. He actually says 7 matching alleles in DNA testing "only proves the donor is a four-legged animal"! And says the FBI mtDNA test could "only" say Teresa couldn't be excluded- he has absolutely no idea what that means. They can "exclude" almost everyone on earth when testing DNA- when someone can "not be excluded" it means there's a one in millions or billions chance it's not them. He's wrong about the bone DNA testing, wrong about the bullet testing, wrong about mtDNA testing, and wrong about the EDTA testing.

- He says the burn pit was excavated with a skid loader that destroyed evidence. Total lie, it was excavated carefully using shovels and sifted through by hand, and the skid loader was only used after the pit was excavated to break up the hardened soil underneath.

- He claims Scott first said the fire was 3 feet then changed it to 10 feet- 100% lie created in the tv show by editing testimony. Scott never said the fire was only three feet, then changed it to 10.

- Somehow he claims in Avery's trial the prosecution didn't "pursue the story" that Teresa was shot in Avery's garage? I don't even know how he gets that- what does he think Avery was convicted for?

- He claims a bloodhound followed Teresa's scent from a trailer in a nearby deer camp. 100% fabrication, the bloodhound actually followed a scent from Avery's doorstep along the route Avery took to hide her car in the salvage yard.

- He claims 129 out of 130 potential jurors already thought Avery was guilty. He was asked in his AMA if he read jury voir dire interviews, where the chosen jurors all profess he is innocent until proven guilty and they don't trust the media is reporting the whole story, and of course said he did not and just kinda made that up by assuming the jurors all lied.

- He lies and says Teresa's brother was friends with the Dassey family- 100% fabrication, I don't even know where he got that.

- He lies about who reported Teresa missing.

- He lies about the lanyard being tested.

I could go on and on, but a good portion of the errors and fabrications are listed in his Reddit AMA and subsequent book review that I'd suggest googling. He lies and lies and lies. He's wrong about science, wrong about dates, wrong about names, wrong about who did what, wrong about evidence, wrong about everything. The majority of this book is simply copy-pasting trial transcripts (which can be found free online) and blog comments or interview transcripts (which can be found free online). Every time he tries to say something original he's wrong, and most of the blogs he copies from are also wrong. Reading this if you know anything about the case is beyond frustrating, because on every page you're seeing errors and lies. You're basically paying to read things that can be easily found free online, with his unresearched and completely false claims peppered in here and there.

The ultimate "theory" he posits is that Bill Clinton had "heavy involvement in Iran Contra-type CIA-sponsored drug running out of the Mena, Arkansas airport" and appointed Peg L as AG of Wisconsin to help, and for some reason she needed to make sure Avery and Dassey were convicted for this drug-running scheme to work. He (falsely) claims she was behind some of the decisions made in the case- like appointing Fassbender to help in March (he'd been working on the case since November) and approving Culhane's work (The AG has literally nothing to do with a deviation request within the Crime Lab). Some methheads killed Teresa, then quickly remembered Avery was suing the county so decided to frame him. The methheads, Teresa's brother and friends, Avery's neighbor, and sheriff department officers (oh and the all worked together somehow to make sure Avery got convicted. It would be hilarious if we weren't talking about a real woman who lost her life.

Shaun has publicly bragged that he used his readers for "free fact-checking" so he wouldn't have to do research or fact-checking himself. Pretty pathetic thing for an author who wants to be taken seriously to brag about.

I was very disappointed... This book was all over the place.. A lot spent on his first conviction...confusing.. Switched back and forth way to much.. Watching the documentary again.. Not sure I would recommend..

i guess this author is sided with the netflix show on poor steven avery........ the man is a monster! how about instead of donations to "poor" steven and his legal fees you give proceeds to the REAL victims which would be the halbach family

The book was very bias and the evidence he presents throughout the book is just incorrect and most was left out. The end was really in poor taste and im surpised someone who expects to get another book published would without any evidence what so ever would create a theory about the crime that is just non sensical and ridiculous. He really hurt his credibility by including that. My suggestion is to skip all together and read a source based on facts and truth

Once again, another right wing, bleeding heart liberal (and not even an American) has attempted to pull us in and have us express sympathy for two cold blooded killers.
Contrary to the fictional account in this book, the evidence against Avery and his "sort of nephew but not really" is overwhelming. Bottom line: Steven got away with murder once and if we aren't careful, he will again.
Pity the victims weren't related to the author. I think if they were, he would be singing a very different tune.
I am also very certain if his book were not free through kindle unlimited, no one would have read it.
