‘Making a Murderer’ overwhelms county clerk with records requests

The findings allege Charles Avery had a history of assaults against women, explaining that Charles has reason to “frame Steven over money, a share of the family business, and over [Steven’s former girlfriend] Jodi Stachowski,”.

One of Steven Avery’s jurors on his famous “Making a Murderer” trial was a Manitowoc County Sheriff volunteer, with a son who served as a sergeant, court records revealed.

“I think it was a point at which momentum shifted”, Strang recalled in a new interview with the Daily Beast.

If you happen by a Twitter account, or at least a chatty co-worker sometime in the last few weeks, chances are you’ve heard the sound and the fury surrounding Netflix true crime documentary series Making a Murderer.

Two years later, Avery was arrested in connection to the murder of 25-year-old photographer Teresa Halbach.

Jerry Buting, one of Avery’s defence lawyers, told Radio 4’s Today programme that all of his appeals had been exhausted and only newly-discovered evidence could force the case to be re-examined. The petition bases its reasoning on the documentary series’ findings and the evidence presented. Many people have started petitions online are asking for Avery be released, but also some who have made death threats against those connected to the investigation, like Ken Kratz.

Walker said he does not issue pardons because he does not believe as a governor he should undermine the judicial process. The Netflix series launched the public’s reexamination of the case and sparked speculation about whether Avery and Dassey are innocent of the crime.

The official response is pretty lengthy as it includes a bar graph and explanation of POTUS’ pardoning power and the limitations that comes with it. “Since Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey are both state prisoners, the President can not pardon them”, the reply reads.

Defense Attorney Rob Bellin has watched the documentary and he calls it a griping inside look at the state’s most sensational murder trial.

The chief clerk at the Manitowoc County Clerk of Courts office, Lynn Zigmunt, says there are more than six bankers boxes of material.
