'Making a Murderer' Update: Does Hillary Clinton Think Subject Of Series Is Black? [VIDEO]
Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton doesn't seem to be familiar with Netflix's hot new docuseries Making a Murderer.
The Nephew From 'Making A Murderer' May Have Hope For Exoneration
Clinton fielded questions at a town hall event in Iowa Tuesday, says The Daily Caller, and one attendant asked if she had seen Making a Murderer. The politician indicated that she hadn't, but used the opportunity to speak on the criminal justice system:
"I think we do have a systemic problem in our criminal justice system," Clinton said, noting, "It is true that there's enough evidence to show that if you are an African-American man you are more likely to be arrested, charged, convicted and incarcerated for doing the same thing as a white man. And there's just a lot of evidence of that. And of course, if you are poor that makes it even more likely."
Juror In Steven Avery Case Thinks Making a Murderer' Subject Was 'Framed'
But if Clinton was attempting to make a point about crime in the context of Making a Murderer, she was a bit off-base. While Making a Murderer subjects Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey are indeed of lower class, they are actually white, not black.
While it is possible that Clinton was simply trying using the attendant's question as a jumping off point to discuss the justice system, the answer indicates that she simply doesn't have time for Making a Murderer.
Meanwhile, millions all across the nation have become obsessed with Making a Murderer. The docuseries presents Avery's multiple criminal charges and eventually Dassey's murder charge--all of which may have been made under a corrupt justice system in Wisconsin.
Making a Murderer is available to stream now on Netflix.
