I understand that, but doesnt this seem to go a lot farther than that? Dude lost 18 years of his life, and then immediately (it appears) he is framed for murder?
I think there was lot of motivation. You had the road rage incident and general dislike for the "low-life" Averys. Sheriff owning a rival scrap yard to theirs. But definitely the biggest would be the litigation that was ongoing from Steven Avery's wrongful conviction suit, which as the doc noted, could find individuals themselves liable. Once he got charged with murder, he quickly settled one case for much needed money and government compensation was no longer an option. A very was poison at that point.
