Steven Avery; Past Cards from Jail Tell Much about the man
Steven Avery, who was wrongly convicted of a rape and spent six years in prison, seems to have been hardly a model citizen.
While Avery did serve time for a rape he did not commit, six years of his 18-year sentence was for an incident in which he ran off the road and pointed a rifle directly at her. He let her go after seeing her baby in the car.
In that incident, Avery was charged with endangering safety and one count of a felon in possession of a firearm.
Avery was a felon due to burglary convictions from the 1980′s.
Steven Avery has said he’s not violent, but these letters may tell a different story. Letters that were attained by CBS 5. Wait until you read the following information that Steve Avery wrote while he was in jail.
When Steven Avery went to prison in 1986, he was married and a father of four.
In 1987, his wife filed for divorce which apparently angered him. We found a photocopy of an Easter card that Steven Avery sent to his children in 1988. Bears and raccoons grace the cover. A cute well-wish to a child from a Father. But, inside of this card reveals a different message. It reads, “Daddy will git mom when daddy gits out. I will…I hate mom.Kiss Daddy here. Love Daddy.”
The same card sent to his sons reads, “Daddy will be out soon and daddy will pick you four kids up and run and run. Happy time to come for us. I hate mom. She will pay.”
The same card sent to his sons reads, “Daddy will be out soon and daddy will pick you four kids up and run and run. Happy time to come for us. I hate mom. She will pay.“
Avery also wrote threatening letters to his ex-wife. One reads, “I will kill you. Ha Ha.“
A second reads, “Your car ain’t going to run.”

Ever get the feeling that even though Steven Avery was wrongfully convicted, maybe he might have been in the right place after all?

The tiger can’t change his stripes they say.
His attorneys must be having three-martini lunches now that this is out. The jury will not take it well, even with a motion to disregard the information. You can’t tell someone ‘Don’t pay attention to this; act like it nevr happened’ when this kind of question is raised.
Right, Aruba?

CBS 5 went on to later release pieces from other cards and letters Avery sent while he was in prison, including a sympathy card sent to the parents of his ex-wife! I’m certainly not a supporter of Steven Avery. I won’t be satisfied until he gets the maximum sentence for what he did to Teresa. I know that these cards and letters surfacing now are proof of how violent and angry his mind can actually become. But I do also have to say that his feelings in those letters aren’t really related to what happened to Teresa. He was trapped in prison, angry because he didn’t even commit the thing he was in there for. His wife divorced him, and he had a lot of free time to mull over how angry the entire situation made him. I get that. However, I think sending these kinds of things out to children – especially being about their own mother – is absolutely horrible! How can he sit there and tell the reporters that he isn’t capable of doing what happened to Teresa, when he’s capable of this? Not to mention that he set that cat on fire years back in what sounds like a very similar way. He intentionally lit that cat on fire. It wasn’t an accident. How can he expect any of us to believe that he isn’t capable of committing this murder?
I know Ken Kratz will do everything he can to prevent the judge from accepting the Avery’s property bond as an acceptable trade for a cash bond. Steven Avery doesn’t deserve ten minutes of freedom after what he’s done to such a sweet girl. (Though on the other hand, I know a few other friends of Teresa’s who’d like to get ten minutes alone with Steven Avery, unguarded by police…)
He makes me literally ill every time I see him, smiling at the cameras, looking to his family for support…. If his family can support him, then they’re in on it too. Alright, now I’m just getting on a rant. I just can’t stand the waiting. At least another 2 months till we even get a trial date, and then who knows how long the trial will go on. The Halbach family is owed something GREAT for what they’re going through right now. They need peace. My heart goes out to them during this difficult time.

I do not believe the indictment charged him with being a bad person or that his release order was dependent upon his being some sort of good person who sent friendly greeting cards to his wife and children.

May he and his nephew rot in hell for their crimes.

What ever happened to presumed innocent until proven guilty?
Was he set up? I don’t know. Some things were just to convenitent….how do the cops search his trailer many times and then all of a sudden, there’s Ms. Halbach’s key to her vehicle laying out in plain view? There are other things that don’t make sense either….to each his own…ya, Avery isn’t a model citizen, but it’s not right to put the bastard back in prison either if he didn’t commit the murder…..

M&E: Oh he committed the crime alright.
