The defenders of Avery commonly claim the Manitowoc police department framed Avery because of his lawsuit , yet they are wrong.

Other defense theories claim that blood was planted and the bones discovered in the burning pits were planted ; however how could the evidence have been planted inside of the Rav4 and inside of the fire pits without being discovered , after all the FBI’s test would have detected EDTA, a preservative used in blood samples. If the blood samples taken from the car contained EDTA it would have proved they were planted from a vial , however the blood found in the RAV4 did not contain the preservative , as for the bones found in the fire pit , there is no way the Manitowoc police department could have planted those without being discovered by Calumet County detectives , the FBI , and other agencies , and lastly the calling in of the plate numbers by Andrew colborn. Colborn was simply following standard police protocol when he called in the license plate. Calumet Counties Mark Wiegert Had called him that evening and asked for help with a missing person case, Wiegert specifically asked Colborn to investigate Teresa Halbach's last known locations which were in Manitowoc county , Wiegert gave colborn the information such as the plate numbers and He ran them which is of course standard police protocol in a missings persons case , when a person goes missing the police check plates numbers through dispatch and dispatch checks through with the Department of Motor Vehicles. looking at this information and using it to counter Avery's defense we can
