Ep. 151: The Shape of a Confession- The Steven Avery Case Part 1

from Spirits with Crime · host Danielle Briggs

What if the most convincing part of a case… isn’t actually the truth? We trust confessions. We rely on them, and sometimes we build entire cases around them.But what happens when a confession isn’t as solid as it seems?In this Part 1 of 2 episodes of Spirits with Crime, we explore a case that sits at the center of that question. A question where perception, pressure, and a carefully constructed narrative may have shaped something far more fragile than it appears. And it all starts with one man and his family.
