Making a Murderer: Steven Avery’s brother speaks in first interview
Earl Avery said in an interview with “Access Hollywood” paying Steven’s legal fees and dealing with backlash from viewers of the Netflix documentary has been tough on the whole family.
These shows have rekindled a collective desire to fix the systematic corruption of our police forces, our courts and our prisons – but the solution we’ve landed upon, the hero that will right all these egregious wrongs, is the figure of the wrongfully imprisoned.
Despite there being many soft furnishings in the house and piles of junk in the garage which would be incredibly hard to clean, prosecutor Ken Kratz was able to argue Avery had managed to get rid of all the blood. “How do you clean up and then put the dust back?” he added.
Steven and Dassey are now serving life sentences.
Kratz continued on discussing Avery’s accomplice and nephew Brendan Dassey, and his confession tape where many Making a Murderer viewers watched as the young kid was seemingly coerced into saying certain things by the police. Some claim, though no evidence can prove it, that Teresa had been on Avery’s property before taking pictures for Auto Trader Magazine, and that Avery had previously invited Halbach into his trailer.

“For a long time now, there really has not been a presumption of innocence, in this state or in this country, and that’s made very clear in Making a Murderer”, says Rabil.
On Jan. 29, Avery released a short but to-the-point letter about what needs to happen, now that his new attorney Kathleen T. Zellner is on the case. “There was a lot of evidence that wasn’t tested”. With new forensic tests, both Zellner and Avery hope to prove the Wisconsin man’s innocence.
Earl also revealed a shocking new piece to the puzzle: he drove by the alleged murder scene the night of Halbach’s killing and didn’t find anything suspicious.
“He also claimed Steven had told him he needed help get ride of a body” in the days after Teresa went missing, which the defence instead had been a joke.
