When watching Making a Murderer, I still find myself feeling surprised that the sheriff and his department got away with a lie for so long. It surprised me how there's a "system" in law enforcement that officers must take when handling a crime, but they chose not to follow otherwise. Fortunately enough, the truth came up and they were put in a very uncomfortable situation. There's one scene that I find interesting every time and one scene that makes me angry. The scene that I found funny is when they are interviewing Sergeant Andrew Colborn (18:38) about him receiving a telephone call regarding Anderson and the crime he did not commit. The reason as to why I found this specific scene funny was because Sergeant Colborn seemed very uncomfortable. He had the posture a child usually has when they are being scolded: shoulders are dropped, hands in between their legs, moving around in his chair, and most importantly, trying not to make eye contact. This to me, I think, should be important postures someone who is interrogating another person should take into consideration. Sergeant Colborn knows him and his department messed up and that he was in big deep trouble. As for the other scene that made me upset was when they interviewed Mark Rohrer, the Manitowoc County District Attorney (27:42) when asked if he turned in a report. Now, this one made me upset because I had a little hope in Mr. Rohrer for the fact that he was a lawyer. I felt that out of everyone in the department, he would of been the one to do the right thing. When put in the spot about there not being any record about these documentations he supposedly turned in, it made me angry. He started off with being confident and then when put on the spot, he was out of words. All that confidence left. As a lawyer, you spend years in school learning what is constitutional and unconstitutional. I'm anxious for the next couple episodes to come.
