So, am I the only person that is absolutely baffled by this Steven Avery case? For those of you that aren’t in Wisconsin (or for those of you that are in Wisconsin and don’t pay attention to current events), here is a link to what has been going on with this story.

The summary of it is that this Steven Avery guy served 18 years in prison for rape and was exonerated in 2003 because DNA showed that he didn’t commit the crime. Because of being wrongfully jailed, Avery sued Manitowoc County for a few million dollars–that case is currently ongoing.

Enter Teresa Halbach. Halbach, a 25-year-old photographer from Hilbert, was last seen Oct. 31. Avery was among the last people to see her when she visited his home that day to take photos for Auto Trader magazine of a vehicle he was selling.

As this story slowly unfolded, the police found more and more evidence that Avery killed Halbach. Today was basically the culmination as Avery is being charged in her death. Read the article if you want specifics as to why they think he did it.

I’ll be interested to hear what the motive of this Avery guy was. He got of jail less than 2 years ago. Yeah, I’d be a little pissed off if I was him–who wants to spend 18 years in jail for something that they didn’t do? But, you get out, you move on with your life and you sue the crap out of the county that put you in jail in the first place. MILLIONS of dollars. Even if they settled or he didn’t get all of the money, he was bound to get something that would probably make his life pretty posh for a while. Why in the world would he go out and kill someone after that? It just doesn’t add up to me.

Am I the only one that this doesn’t completely add up for?
