Steven Avery was falsely accused of a sexual crime in 2003, and severed eighteen years of a thirty-two-year sentence. He was on the verge of a $36 million settlement from Manitowoc County in Wisconsin, when we arrested in 2005 for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. Investigators were able to persuade Avery’s nephew Brendan Dassey, a highly suggestive teenager with a borderline IQ, into confessing that he and his uncle were responsible for the murder. In “Un-Making a Murderer,” author Shaun Attwood pokes holes in the case against Avery, and suggests that evidence was planted against him. Attwood shows the shady side of district attorney Ken Kratz, and shares his theory of who is responsible for Halbach’s murder.
The author addresses the most commonly asked questions for a live nude model. What do you family and friends think of you posing? How did you get started modeling? Do you get hit on? And perhaps the most persistent question, why do you do it? Rooney gives her personal experiences on the model-artist relationship. The author shares her attitude towards naked vs. nude. Rooney details what a typical modeling session consists of, and what was going through her mind the moment she disrobed. The author discusses the pay scale and describes the different artists she has worked with. I was surprised to learn that artists are usually seeking female models, as there is typically an abundance of willing male models to pose nude. Rooney opens up on her first experience and shares how models view their bodies. I found this book fascinating with my many intriguing insights. Additionally, Eva Hamilton provides captivating narration.
