Bushman had the Hermann family to thank for getting the job, and Kocourek to thank for his many career advancements. The moment a corrupt leader enters the picture the corruption slowly becomes the culture in that department. Does Wisconsin know what JUSTICE is? Like Bushman, Petersen was quickly hired despite his total lack of experience in LE. Neither Steven nor his lawsuit had a snowflake's chance in hell if the authorities were willing to disregard their own laws in order to manipulate evidence and destroy crime scenes. In 1981 Petersen was speeding over the limit during a foggy night and ran over a young woman (Gina) who had just been in a minor motorcycle collision with her two male companions. Hermann didnt watch the series when it was first released but spent his holidays doing just that after the hundreds of calls and emails from viewers and media outlets across the country.

A volunteer for the Manitowoc sheriffs, the same department Avery was suing for wrongful imprisonment, was one of the jurors that put the convicted killer behind bars, OnMilwaukee reported. When this shit happens over decades what you're left with is not exactly the crme de la crop. We are all a bit desensitized, I think, when it comes to theories surrounding Kuss road. Im not sure I can look my kids in the eye and believe my own words anymore. Not to myself but to members of our law enforcement community," Brey wrote. One of the loudest voices in the public conversation about Steven Avery's possible innocence is Kathleen Zellner, Avery's attorney, who was featured on the Netflix documentary series about the Wisconsin murder case, Making a Murderer. Terrible and corruption run rampant!!! 57m As Steven starts creating a new life for himself, he pursues a lawsuit against Manitowoc County law enforcement officials for corruption in his case. How confident are you that Zellner will be able to exonerate Avery? The latest involved a bomb threat to the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office on February 3rd. I would also hope they look at someone like Kathleen Zellner as a real hero, a champion for society's downtrodden and people who are stuck in prison for very heinous crimes, terrible crimes, awful crimes, that somebody else likely committed. "It's kind of sad that (the city) is getting that kind of publicity right now," saidKendra Cordova, 27, whoworks at an olive oil shop downtown. It all depends on the luck of the draw in terms of the appeals court judges Zellner gets. As you might have guessed, Kocourek didn't push Bushman to conduct an investigation that would result in a member of the Hermann family, a member of his own department, being indicted for felony vehicular homicide. Representatives of the Manitowoc County Historical Society, along with the Chamber of Manitowoc County, Manitowoc Area Visitor and Convention Bureau and other local leaders met Wednesday to discuss ways to bring a positive focus back to the community. Ferak reveals that way back in 1978 the Hermann father helped elect Kocourek as Sheriff of the MCSD (Pg. "May God forgive the morally corrupt officers who participated in this case. Okay then. I think if it documented everything correctly and wouldnt have downplayed some of the key points, the response would have been totally different. ", 8. Hermann arrived and the two men put their heads together and came up with a plan. The "desired response" was received? The DOJ's criminal destruction of an apparent crime scene is extremely telling. Shannon Bolick, 29, a legal assistant at a law firm just down the street from the courthouse, had seen the first three episodes when approached by a reporter. Maybe the nightly news has been right all along: we live in a corrupt and violent world where not even small-town justice is free from corruption and agendas The city of Manitowoc and the state of Wisconsin should be ashamed of who was/is representing them and who was/is supposedly protecting its citizens. Part Three (Three Criminal Investigations) will focus on reviewing the multiple different DOJ Criminal Investigations of Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department throughout the years, including investigations concerning the department's handling of the Steven Avery and Ricky Hotchstetler cases. Among other things, Petersen told reporters Steven "could be a con man" (false and inflammatory) that he burned a cat alive (false and inflammatory) and that if he wasn't convicted of Teresa's murder he would kill AGAIN (speculative and inflammatory). Thompson voted in person in North Carolina and through an absentee ballot in Florida. At or around 10:30 a.m. Bushman's Group A discovered the burial site just off the Kuss Road cul-de-sac, not even a half mile from the Avery Salvage yard property boundary. Zellner worked closely with Ferak and told Newsweek the book explores important areas left out of the series. The vast majority of the emailswere harshly critical andsuggested the sheriff'sdepartment consists of crooked cops. 76, Wrecking Crew). Oddly, neither of Gina's male companions were injured in the initial motorcycle collision, which suggests perhaps Gina would have survived if not for Petersen striking her with his vehicle at high speed. Justice is no longer served to all impartially, but abused and obstructed at will. But still, "as far as the show goes, I wouldn't trust that guy. "He immediately became red around the face [] The desired response was received and the redness in his face indicated he was embarrassed, at that point indicating he himself had discussed the rumor.". Next, an officer named Gxxx Schetter was appointed as Hermanns new Undersheriff. Suggesting that Steven "might kill again" before he was even convicted of Teresa's murder totally ignores Steven's presumption of innocence while speculating about future murders. If Petersen was willing to go that far God only knows what else happened that hasn't yet come to light. Manitowoc County is now officially on the map for having the most corrupt (law enforcement officers) in the nation, congrats. The prevailing theory of police involvement (directly mentioned by Ferak in his book, Pg. Manitowoc County Departments Our purpose is to improve the quality of life in Manitowoc County by providing effective, high quality, and responsive public services that promote the prosperity, self-sufficiency, and well-being of individuals, families, businesses, and communities. The Manitowoc Sheriff's Department is known as a northern style "good ole boy" network that would rival the KKK counties in the south, complete with a lot of false arrests and arrogant, poorly trained and disciplined deputies. I think its important to get our side of the story out because that obviously wasnt covered in the film, said Hermann, adding the department was ordered by the judge not to talk about the case throughout the trial. The injustice that Steven Avery experienced during the murder trial of Teresa Halbach is INSANE! People like you are a plague on our country. Eventually townsfolk, including Ricky's parents, were openly discussing their suspicions of a police cover-up. Soon after the initial collision Officer Petersen sped by in his squad car and, due to the thick fog, literally ran over Gina while racing to a nearby bar to investigate claims of underage drinking. The wildly popular "Making a Murderer" documentary. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, "Wrecking Crew: Demolishing the Case Against Steven Avery", Petersen told reporters Steven "could be a con man", offering to pay for the investigation if another department took over. The cause of justice is not the cause of the Wisconsin Dept of Justice and other corrupt Wisconsin law enforcement. Meyer and a volunteer spent time during the holidays deleting posts and trying to rebound from reviews that include statements such as, What an embarrassment. He called it one-sided and said it is profiting off the Halbach family's loss. But Sheriff Robert Hermann defended the investigators and saidviewers are not seeing the whole story.

As with everything else in this case, we must determine the value or worth of each claim based on the available evidence. Of course Hermanns declaration about the striking vehicle was based on an examination of evidence that had no real chain of custody. Way before the Hermann brothers were first and third in command; before Teresa, Ricky, or Penny, the Hermann family still had an enormous amount of influence within the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department (MCSD). Eventually, citizens began discussing the possibility of a police cover-up, including Ricky's mother and father. To be sure, I am not saying Mr. Avery was innocent, but, there was clear and convincing evidence, to me, of a massive amount of reasonable doubt which means he is innocent in this country. MANITOWOC - The Manitowoc community is pushing back as it finds itself in the suddenly uncomfortable glare of a documentary that has brought international attention to the shores of Lake Michigan. Why would ANYONE want to call this place home?, The nonprofit organization even tried telling commenters its Facebook page wasnt the right place for a discussion about Making a Murderer., We thought the comments would then stop, Meyer said. Her criticism echoed thatof other residents, and the prosecutor and law enforcement involved in the case. Its flowing in pretty good yet," he said. Your department is corrupt and all of you should be prosecuted to the highest extend (sic) of law. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible and mainly focus on Bushman and Hermann's mishandling of crime scene evidence, which IMO was done not out of incompetence, but as an attempt by two corrupt officers to cover-up the truth of Ricky's death. Making a Murderer fans will remember Ken Kratz as the special prosecutor brought in by Manitowoc County officials who convicted Steven Avery of Teresa Halbach's 2005 . He pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay $225 in court costs. He would be granted three major promotions in the following 8 years, quickly reaching the upper echelon of the MCSD. Bushman, while on patrol, observed what appeared to be a drunk driver. In a notice of promotion (to Lieutenant) Kocourek said of Bushman (Pg. 166). Ferak believes officer Bushman's time on Ricky's case (learning how to disappear evidence) was just training for his time on Teresa's case, specifically his time at the Kuss road burial site. Like Kocourek and Petersen before him, Sheriff Hermann made sure the upper echelon of the MCSD contained a bastion of loyalists, family and friends. In order to ensure this already shaky frame job didn't crumble, the DOJ showed up with two skid steers (yes, two) and literally demolished what was apparently a critical crime scene, one that hadn't yet been properly processed. Both Petersen and Bushman were hired by MCSD with no prior experience in law enforcement; both were in serious collisions in their squad cars; both became loyal underlings to Sheriff Kocourek; and both names turn up during the 1985 Penny Bernsteen assault case, the 1999 Ricky Hotchstetler vehicular homicide case, and the 2005 Teresa Halbach criminal homicide case. 163): "I (Sgt. The retired Bushman, who had no prior involvement in the Halbach investigation, but was clairvoyant enough to show up bright and early on what turned out to be a critically important day. So many theories pop up because it's so obvious (at least IMO) the body was, at one point or another, concealed via the burial site.

Kakatsch kept trying to access the scene after being rebuffed. Both Petersen and Bushman were hired by MCSD with no prior experience in law enforcement, and both ended up being involved in serious collisions with their squad cars, collisions that were quickly swept under the rug by Sheriff Kocourek. Manitowoc County is now officially on the map for having the most corrupt (law enforcement officers) in the nation, congrats. It was getting tainted by the minute.. Bushman was unable to stop the squad car before it ran off the road though the T intersection the squad car, at just less than highway speed, struck the embankment and came to a rest investigation into the accident showed the case to be a result of inattentive driving.". Since it was released, the sheriff's department has gotten between 250 and 300 phone calls and hundreds of emails some positive, but many more negative about its role in the Avery case, Hermann said. ", 11. No, I dont think God will help any of you, as you know the truth and have done nothing. Sheriff of the Calumet County Sheriff's Office, Avery Motion for Remand and Stay of Appeal, April 12, 2021, p. 5, Manitowoc County Sheriff Dept and other law enforcement for its actions, Tadych's move to sacrifice Brendan caused Tadych to, Barbara Tadych vs. Brad Anthony Dassey; April 19, 2021, possible destroyer of evidence implicating Bobby, planting critical evidence on Steven Avery's property. Serving our citizens with P.R.I.D.E. The offered rationale is nearly non existent, and does nothing to explain where these car parts came from, if not the striking vehicle. Such a deviation from established protocol when collecting evidence of a crime is a strong indication of BAD FAITH, in this case the destruction / fabrication of evidence. In Florida, John Rider of the Village of Virginia . I'll finish by reviewing how critical the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department was during the discovery, planting, re-discovery and recovery of the bones, and why it's reasonable to believe both the MCSD and Wisconsin DOJ were working together to cover up the truth of Teresa's death via obstruction of justice and the destruction of a crime scene. I hope that detective Lenk and Goulburn (sic) rot in hell as it is almost certain that they are behind this corruption and lies I hope use (sic) all cant sleep at night and justice comes your way. After everything, MCSD escaped facing civil liability and a family was forced to say goodbye to their daughter. "I am certain I did not see everything that happened in that trial. Honestly though, someone tell me, in what universe is that ^ level of destruction necessary when processing a crime scene that wasn't even properly photographed yet? Barb Tadych and the Manitowoc County Sheriff Dept remain close, even after Tadych's move to sacrifice Brendan caused Tadych to criticize the cops, in regret. 80-83): Gina Hxxxxx had accompanied her male companion on his motorcycle on a particularly foggy night. Bushman then let Hermann drive off with the improperly collected parts in his own personal vehicle (Pg. Christ almighty that pissed me off. At the end of the day, despite whispers and worries of townspeople, the cover-up was successful. I could see him getting a dog or two and maybe becoming a rancher. Amazing! Thanks Hermann! IMO such an act cannot be explained away innocently. Bushman was promoted only months after the accident. Sloppy work, really, from MCSD. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. "Generally speaking, for people who don't know how hard we're working to make Manitowoc a nice place, they would probably drive right by now," Cordovasaid. And although she doesn't think it will affect the business in which she works, Cordova wondered if the series would deter people from visiting the county or the city. What will your department come out and say then? All of these whispers caught the attention of lead investigator Bushman, who knew from Kocourek how to deal with citizens spreading rumors of corruption. In a word, she said, she's hearingthe series called "ridiculous.". This ^ level of inaction could only be the result of Kocourek sanctioning it. Ricky's dad in particular was said to be frustrated and angry about this possibility. Unfortunately, I think the film has done a lot of damage and is definitely not the way Manitowoc County would like to be put on the map.. "I would be embarrassed to hold my head up high knowing that your department has sentenced an innocent man twice to jail and also a special boy who hasnt even enjoyed life yet. 160) at the Kuss Road cul-de-sac burial site. Undersheriff in 2005; Sheriff by the time Avery stood trial in 2007 as well as upon release of MAM in 2015. Its a shame theyre making money off it at the expense of the Halbach family. ", 15. Manitowoc isnt the way its depicted in this Netflix (series).. This film shows only three to maybe four hours of courtroom for Steven Avery and youre talking a trial that lasted approximately six weeks, so there is a lot of evidence missing.". No investigation was done into the matter because the County didn't want to know if Petersen was responsible for a vehicular manslaughter. Well, shit! 79) only 15 minutes from the Hermann family's Auto Salvage Business (yes, the same Hermann family whose son would eventually take over for Petersen as Sheriff). As it relates to the January incident, Manitowoc police say what led to the exchange in a squad car . All evidence points towards the incompetence of your department I hope and pray your department and local police and that judge are found out, and YOU rot in jail. Everything your pathetic county stands for is forever tarnished with the mockery of justice that was promulgated in that courtroom. The Coroner at the time in 1981 (Mxxxx Cummings) claims Gina died from a head injury sustained in the crash of the motorcycles, and immediately goes on to say: A squad car later collided with the wreckage and the victim offering no further thoughts on the incident. 20. You guys will convict anyone for anything without evidence. They only arrived at or around 3 p.m. Bushman, Colborn and Lenk had plenty of time to fuck with the scene or make evidence disappear. Point being, Bushman was attempting to ice any further discussion about a police cover-up from Ricky's dad, and it seemed to have worked. It would be much too risky for MCSD to swap out these vehicle parts, as they didn't know how thoroughly the family had examined the wreckage. In Part One I reviewed serious squad car accidents of officers Petersen and Bushman that were both covered up or ignored by MCSD. Zellner's techniques were detailed heavily in Season 2, but there's much more to the story. Bushman proved to his law enforcement buds he was a good man to have around in a sticky situation, and was adept at making incriminating evidence vanish into thin air (a skill he would put to good use once more years later). The image of the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department took a major hit afterlastDecember's release of "Making a Murderer" on Netflix, andSheriff Rob Hermann isstillstrugglingtoovercomeperception problems generated by the docu-series. This is PART TWO in a three part series of posts concerning the troubling history of Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department as detailed by Jxxx Ferak in his book "Wrecking Crew." Join half a million readers enjoying Newsweek's free newsletters. ", 19. You are unbelievable. And then, when all was well within the department, the fickle finger of fate pointed at Steven Avery, leading to his exoneration in 2003, the filing of his 36,000,000 lawsuit in 2004, Teresa's death in 2005, Steven's arrest and ultimately his second wrongful conviction in 2007. She said Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels has been working hard to bring people to the city's downtown, and this kind of publicity won't help that effort. If skeptics of Avery's alleged innocence reads The Wrecking Crew, what do you hope they take away from it? In PART ONE -. 80). "Some of the emails, in my opinion, have been borderline threatening. The Hermann father helped elect Kocourek as Sheriff - and as Sheriff Kocourek would go on to repeatedly promote Petersen (See Part One). It wasn't long before members of the community were whispering about a police cover-up, and this included Ricky's mother and father, who both had troubling run-ins with the department after their son's death. An examination of the Hermann family's influence on the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department throughout the years, specifically in regards to Kocourek, Petersen and Bushman - all of whom played roles in the 1985 Penny B and 1999 Ricky H cases; and two of whom played critical roles during the 2005 Teresa H case. Vandedrinck, who was visiting the city for work, said he had seen four episodes and is skeptical of its portrayal of events. Tadych publicly protested Brendan's innocence, but Tadych also remains under suspicion for her defense of Bobby Dassey, Brendan's brother, who implicated the once-exonerated Steven Avery as the State's star witness, (Ferak, Appleton Post-Crescent). Seems about right. Kocourek wouldn't easily forget such a favor. After the woman was struck by Petersen she was pronounced dead, however a coroner determined the death occurred before she was run over by police. In 2005, Tadych fed her 16-year-old son, Brendan, who has a severe language impairment and 70 IQ, to corrupt Wisconsin law enforcement [Tom Fassbender (Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation investigator (Ret)) and Mark Wiegert, (current Sheriff of the Calumet County Sheriff's Office), who interrogated Brendan alone in a room], the better to elicit words that the cops could falsely state constituted a confession to murder of Teresa Halbach.Law enforcement then used Brendan's so-called confession to convict the innocent Steven Avery. WISN/YouTube. (The commenters) only connection to knowing anything about Manitowoc is Netflix and then going on social media. The series seems to have convinced much of its audiencethat twoManitowoc Countymen currently sitting in prison for the murder of a young photographer may, in fact, be innocent and the local legal system corrupt. In addition to their ever increasing involvement in the Sheriffs Department, the Hermann family owned the long operating Cleveland Auto Salvage (CAS) in southern Manitowoc County, one of a select few salvage yards that competed with the Avery Salvage Yard (ASY). There is no question defense attorneys did a good job to try and paint a negative picture and paint us in a negative light, but what theyre suggesting didnt happen.. "[Making a Murderer] touched on some of my investigation and expert experiments but not in as much detail as the book. There is no question thats what this film did, he said. They dont look at the great things were doing.. God Bless his mother and father who have had to live through this I would NEVER EVER visit your town in fear that if I were to run a stop sign, you would have me arrested on a murder charge. Bushman should be issued a written reprimand relating to this accident.
