The US Justice allows for an Appeals process
Part of that process is to identify alternative suspects and as this is only being discussed 13 years later with evidence that was not discussed at the time it makes me wonder what were LE doing between the first search of Averys property that came up clean and the later searches that found overwhelming evidence in terms of identifying alternative suspects ?
The reason alternative suspects in this case are in a vulnerable position is because this case has been all over the press for years going back to the original Penny case
So who first put Avery in the public eye ?
Whoever did this is responsible (perhaps unwittingly responsible) for public attention on alternative suspects because the Appeals process demands it and the case has public attention
Arguing that this is hypocritical is forgetting that Zellner inherited this legacy - a case with massive press attention which requires Alternative suspects in the Appeals process
