Dean Strang and Jerry Buting were the defense lawyers for Steven Avery during his trial and throughout the mini-series provided great detail how they planned to exonerate Avery. Even though the duo served as Avery’s defense lawyers, they provided a fair bias during the trial, similar to Judge Berman during the Tom Brady trial.

Buting and Strang were fair in acknowledging that Avery had committed past crimes and that his reputation wasn’t the ideal American citizen, however they’re contention that Avery did not commit the crime he had been accused of was pure. Just as Judge Berman was pure and fair during the Tom Brady trial, he was able to hear both arguments and the evidence presented by both parties.

While Buting and Strang were unsuccessful in their attempt to free Avery, they did their best to present a fair and compelling case, just as Berman was able to present a fair ruling during the Brady trial.

Making a Murderer and Deflategate are more similar than you would think if you look deep enough. Both surround cases that don’t exactly have the most convincing evidence ever presented, and the entire trial and aftermath has been subject to tons of speculation. For Patriot fans I’m guessing that they hope Deflategate doesn’t get approved for a second season.

What do you think? Do you think that Deflategate and Making a Murderer are similar?
