Making a Murderer: Steven Avery’s Ex-Fiancée Says “He’s Not Innocent”

The filmmakers behind “Making a Murder” cast doubt on the legal process used to convict Avery and Dassey, and their work has sparked national interest and conjecture. Avery signed the motions, before they were on the case.

Additionally, he says that one member of the jury, referred to as Juror C.W., told the jury room that Avery was “f-king guilty”, which the appeal states “deprived Avery of an impartial Jury trial”.

The documents show Avery is claiming Halbach’s vehicle wasn’t property sealed with tamper-proof tape – allowing officers to open and close the doors and plant evidence inside that vehicle.

She also claims that he threatened to “kill me, my family, and a friend of mine”, and told her that “if I didn’t say anything good and nice about him, I’d pay”. Overall, he’s asking for the court to declare a mistrial.

READ IT: Appeal motion filed by Steven Avery with Wisconsin Court of Appeals. IL attorney Kathleen Zellner announced last Friday that her firm will represent Avery.

Zellner said on Friday she is teaming up with the Midwest Innocence Project. Stachowski ended their relationship in 2007, before he was convicted of the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach.

In his motions, Avery details that the searches weren’t done legally, and the evidence gathered is “the fruit of a poisonous tree”, illegally obtained evidence.

As this court turned down Avery’s request for a new trial in 2011 (they said the investigation was handled by the book, among other things), Walker’s message is fairly clear.

“I think we need to look at the full picture rather than just 10 hours of a thriller”, Wbay reporting him as saying.

A Change.org petition to free Steven Avery has garnered more than 410,000 signatures from people who want him to be pardoned by Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, and President Barack Obama, after watching the Netflix series.

At the time of Avery’s arrest, he had a pending $36 million lawsuit against Manitowoc County because he’d spent 18 years in prison for a rape that DNA evidence later proved he did not commit.
