Making A Murderer – Guilty Or Not?

Netflix has been streaming Steven Avery’s story since 2015. It is entitled Making a Murdererand is 10 episodes long. In case you aren’t familiar, Avery was convicted of a sexual assault in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and served 18 years, only to be freed after DNA proved he was innocent. That’s lousy. The interesting codicil however is that in 2005, Avery did worse – he allegedly murdered photographer Teresa Halbach. He was again convicted, this time in 2007 and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. The case is under appeal as of January 2016. The public is torn between Avery’s possible innocence and possible guilt. I suspect this reaction stems from a number of reasons: that Avery has already been incarcerated for another crime he didn’t commit.; his low IQ could make him susceptible to agreeing with police officers that he committed a crime he didn’t commit; he already has a…

Wife Shows Up To Her Own Funeral After Husband’s Failed Murder Plot

Via The Independent– A woman had the shock of a lifetime for her husband.

Noela Rukundo sat waiting outside her home, waiting for one person – her husband.

But it wasn’t the heartwarming reunion you’d expect, rather the man was more than surprised, he was terrified.

That’s because Rukundo’s husband, Balenga Kalala, allegedly hired a team of hit men to kill his wife while she returned to her native Burundi in early 2015. They told him they killed her, while in reality they released her, but not before telling her that Kalala hired them in November 2014 and giving her a memory card with recorded conversations between Kalala and the gang of hitmen.

When Rukundo visited her husband after her own memorial, held in her home, he thought she was a ghost, going so far as touching her shoulder, expecting his hand to pass through.

When it didn’t, he jumped then started screaming.

Eventually, police told Rukundo to call Kalala, who police said confessed to her. That confession and the pleading for forgiveness was recorded.

Kalala pleaded guilty to incitement to murder in December. He was sentenced to nine years in prison.
