Making a Murderer’s Steven Avery appeals against 2005 conviction

Since the release of Netflix’s striking true-crime documentary “Making A Murderer”, people throughout the country have been debating the innocence or guilt of Steven Avery.

Steven Avery, the subject of the Netflix series “Making A Murderer”, has submitted a fresh appeal against his murder conviction claiming that one juror tainted the proceedings.

It may be years until the families, and those who’ve seen “Making a Murderer” on Netflix, have closure in the case, and that’s only if the courts decide to take on Avery and Dassey’s appeals.

Avery was released in 2003 and filed a lawsuit against Manitowoc County for wrongful conviction and imprisonment.

Mahler made comments saying there were people who were more timid or passive who were being dominated in the jury room.

However, Avery has now filed an appeal claiming authorities used an improper warrant and a juror was out to get him, in a letter riddled with spelling errors.

Meanwhile, the case of Stephen Avery and Brendan Dassey continues.

Avery has also recently secured new legal representation.

Avery’s then 16-year-old nephew Brendan Dassey was convicted of assisting Avery in Halbach’s murder, thanks to his confession that the documentary alluded to being coerced by law enforcement interrogation tactics.

Avery spent 18 years in prison for a rape he did not commit.

Avery has denied his involvement in the 2005 murder from the get go. Hermann previously has said that the investigation was proper.

In the motion for relief, Avery argues that “the true controversy was never tried” in the homicide case against him.

He also questions why Halbach’s vehicle wasn’t searched for evidence when it was discovered immediately, and investigators waited until nightfall.

The documentary suggests that police of Manitowoc County planted evidence on Avery’s property, such as Halbach’s key and her blood.

Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, however, could pardon Avery, and has also been petitioned.

The filing can be read at the Wisconsin Court of Appeals site.

Dassey’s half-brother Brad Dassey, who describes himself as an “indie Christian rapper”, has shared a hip-hop track called “They Didn’t Do It” online.
