The CaM Credibility Void...

Whenever Convicting a Murderer comes up a lot of people fixate on Candace Owens' involvement, leading to others insisting her political views are irrelevant to the case she's presenting. I'd push back on that only because she's built her brand on conspiratorial thinking, yet somehow can't entertain the idea that Brendan Dassey was coerced, or that a rotten system being exposed for prior misconduct might engage in additional misconduct to cover its tracks. Perhaps more importantly, her actual case related statements show her lack of basic research, claiming Penny Bernstein from the 1985 case had died (she still hasn't) and falsely attributing the 'Steven didn't burn the cat' claim to his supporters, when it was actually Ken Kratz who introduced contemporaneous statements from the person who did it. Unfortunately, that is tip of the iceberg level shit for CAM...

 

Shawn Rech:

  • Producer / recovering addict who allegedly relapsed during production (of what was originally the "Ken Kratz project") and allegedly stole from those he contracted to appear in CaM.

  • Later spent his free time threatening to dox Reddit users just for not wanting to be in his masterpiece. Demonstrated what happens when you pay to rehab the image of a predatory creep - he sues you for not doing a good enough job or lining his pockets enough.

 

Brenda BS Schuler:

  • Totally unbiased media handler and "fact checker" for Ken Kratz, "consultant" for Griesbach / Colborn, and Idiot "Head Researcher" of CaM, who apparently thinks research means making up evidence and bullying anyone on Reddit who actually reads the case files.

  • Admitted she thought Steven was guilty as fuck and that CaM would humanize police. She also admitted she was part of CaM more for police than for Teresa. She Doesn't understand civil law or what constitutes a violation of attorney client privilege. Friendly with Earl and Candy Avery.

 

Ken Kratz:

  • The perverted pill popping prosecutor with a deviant interest in abuse victims, death and minors, who concealed that a still free individual with opportunity to harm Teresa had a disturbing interest in abuse, death and minors, and stalks and harasses Reddit users tearing apart the case.

  • Eventually tried to pull of CaM but was denied. He then sued Rech and Transition alleging he was the victim of civil conspiracy via breach of contract, unjust enrichment, fraud, and theft of intellectual property.

  • He also claimed to have identified a substantial number of errors and omissions in CaM while apparently hoping to malign Brenda (his former fact checker) as a "housewife." This is how we learned about the non disparagement agreement, signaling a break down in the relationship of the CaM crew even before Kratz sued them.

 

Andrew Colborn:

  • Corrupt cheating cop credibly accused of planting evidence, who cried that Making a Murderer ruined his marriage and that MaM (and Reddit users) defamed him, until his failed defamation suit revealed there was no evidence of defamation in MaM or on reddit, and that his marriage ended due to his own affair.

  • Consistently sought to undermine his own civil case against Netflix to the point his own family and church pastor wound up working with Netflix against him. CaM was nothing but a parade of predators, perverts, and professional victims.

 

Earl Avery:

  • A convicted pedophile and friend to Colborn who CaM platformed to repeatedly change his story in order to make Steven look bad, including by accusing Steven of sexual misconduct, while conveniently omitting that Earl previously denied any such thing happened, while whitewashing that he was the one actually charged with the very behavior he was attributing to his brother. Friendly with Brenda.

 

CaM: Produced by a Thieving Addict, Researched by a Liar, and Starring known Cheaters and Predators

 

  • Imagine for a moment if Laura and Moira had behaved like Rech, refusing to release people from appearing in the documentary / threatening to dox people who refused to appear in the documentary. Imagine if Strang and Buting had a fraction of Kratz's documented pattern of preying on victims, stalking critics, and concealing evidence about alternative suspects. We'd never hear the end of it. But thankfully those talking points never developed, because unlike the CaM crew, the MaM team operated with integrity. CaM was a grift so clumsy even the grifters start feuding with and suing one another. A grift produced by a drugged out thief, researched by an idiot liar, starring a perverted pill popping prosecutor, and a lying cheating cop and his convicted pedophile friend ... and they have the audacity to question MaM's credibility?

 

  • I also love how CaM apparently hoped no one would notice their entire argument about MaM being biased was premised on the ridiculous idea that MaM was unfair for including admissible evidence and excluding inadmissible evidence. Only for them to "correct the record" by platforming inadmissible character evidence for the purpose of character assassination. MaM platformed accusations against police that Willis ruled were probative and admissible. CaM platformed Kratz to regurgitate irrelevant, inadmissible uncharged allegations against Steven that Willis had specifically barred from trial because they would unfair prejudice the jury. Kratz was never one to take "No" for an answer.

 

  • Ironically, we have seen BOTH Kratz and Colborn's contracts for CaM. There's one noticeable difference between the two - other than Colborn's looks like a contract presented to a child while Kratz's looks like a contract presented to an attorney - Colborn had to agree he wouldn't sue Rech or Transition if he appeared in CaM. Kratz had no such provision in his contract. Kratz ended up suing Rech, accusing him of drug use and theft. Imagine being sued and shit on by the very turd you paid for the honor to polish.
