‘Making a Murderer’ convict Steven Avery files new appeal

“Making a Murderer”, a 10-episode documentary on the Netflix streaming service, questioned the handling of the case and the motivation of Manitowoc County law enforcement officials.

The prosecutor in the case, Ken Kratz, has criticized filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos for leaving out critical evidence used in the trial against Avery and Dassey.

According to TMZ, Avery believes the jury was tainted, and says that one juror in particular was out to convict him, repeatedly saying things like Avery is “f-king guilty”.

Steven Avery, who was convicted in the 2005 homicide of photographer Teresa Halbach, filed motions Monday for release on bond.

Kathleen T. Zellner and Associates in Downers Grove says it’s taking “full and complete representation of Steven Avery in all of his pending criminal matters”. Avery says the one juror also told the other jurors, “If you can’t handle it why don’t you tell [the judge] and just leave”.

The Avery case has recently gained popularity with coverage in its own docuseries on the popular movie streaming service.

As for her participation in the wildly successful Netflix series, Stachowski said Avery threatened her to take part in it. “If I didn’t say anything good and nice about him, I’d pay”, she said.

The documentary strongly suggests the possibility that Manitowoc County sheriff’s deputies planted evidence against Avery, including a key found in his bedroom and blood found in the victim’s vehicle.

“The affidavit was based on clearly falsified, misleading information”, Avery’s appeal reads.

Zellner agreed to represent Avery last Friday.

Walker argued that Avery had cleared himself with DNA evidence once before and so he should do it again. After all, Avery was wrongly convicted of rape in the 1980s, only to be exonerated after serving 18 years inside.

Since its premiere in December, the Netflix original docu-series Making a Murderer has captured the attention of everyone from internet sleuths to the staff this very website.

“We are continuing to examine every aspect of Mr. Avery’s case and all of his legal options”, Zellner said in a statement.
