But I did want to pass along two blog posts worth reading in their entirety. The first is over at a new blog, Playground Politics, who has some interesting photos of politicians who couldn't wait to pose with Avery after his release from prison. The blog post alos lists some reasons why politicians might have been reluctant to be so quick to be in front of the camera with Avery:
March 1981: Avery is convicted on two felony burglary charges.The other one is over at Lakeshore Laments, who gives the evidence investigators found:
September 1982: Avery is charged with cruelty to animals for setting a cat on fire. Yeah, you read that right. He set a cat on fire.
January 1985: Avery forces the wife of a Manitowoc County police officer off the road and points a rifle at her. Sentenced to six years in prison for endangering safety and possessing a firearm after a felony conviction.
September 2004: Avery is charged with disorderly conduct.
November 9, 2005: Gasp! The felon is possessing firearms again.
November 11, 2005: Charged with the murder of Teresa Halbach
