Making a Murderer, the 2015 Netflix docuseries that covered the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin became worldwide watercooler talk and brought the term "binge-watching" to prominence. Will the buzz return to the original level? That's yet to be seen, but with another 10 episodes in queue for an October 19th release, Wisconsin locals have begun commenting on the John Muir Show based in Green Bay.
You'll have to decide guilt, misconduct or innocence for yourself, but we'll begin sharing public comments on all sides of the discussion made on the John Muir show over the coming weeks. This caller asked to remain anonymous due to the legal nature of the dealings call from October 10th. He described personal experiences of what he called shady dealings with the now-retired Andrew Colborn, formerly of the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office.
Manitowoc resident John (not his real name) said, "I don't know much about the Avery case. I'm just telling you what I know from my personal experience, and that was that he (Colborn) used tactics that were not, what I would call on the up and up."
LISTEN TO THE CALLER
"I've had dealings with Detective Colborn from a family standpoint and honestly, a lot of the way he handled Brendan Dassey was the way he handled the member of my family. And I'm not saying anything about Avery and Dassey being innocent. I'm just telling you from my experience. He leaked stuff to the media before there were ever charges brought,and he skewed things to the point where it becamean international, literally international sensation overnight. And at thatpoint we have no chance. He recanted things several days later saying he didn't realize that it wasn't the severe situation as what it was." ~Caller to the John Muir Show
"John" went on to say, "He interrogated the person in my family in such a way that he tried coercing things out of them," then added, "I would never ever trust that man as far as I could even see him."
