‘Making a Murderer’ subject Steven Avery files appeal
The lead subject in the latest Netflix craze, Making a Murderer, has once again put in an appeal. But two years later, Avery and his then-teenage nephew Brendan Dassey were charged with killing of Teresa Halbach, a photographer who visited the family salvage yard to take photos. That would explain the several grammatical mistakes in Avery’s appeal, as highlighted by the Post.
The documents were filed with the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and claim that because Avery’s property was illegally searched, evidence gathered at the property can not be used against him.
The appeal also says that a juror tainted other jurors “THROUGH DIRECT OR INDIRECT IN FLUENCE”, stating numerous times that Avery “IS F– GUILTY”. Avery signed the motions, before they were on the case. But Steven Avery means every word of it and he wants a mistrial declared by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. Brad Dassey’s rap touches on themes portrayed in the Netflix docu-series, including a focus on police misconduct and their exploitation of Dassey’s naiveté.
Avery’s legal team recently filed for a new trial alleging violations of his due process rights. He was also released from prison in 2003 after serving 18 years for a rape that he didn’t commit. The Law Firm of Kathleen T. Zellner and Associates has assumed representation of Avery in all of his pending criminal matters.
“We are continuing to examine every aspect of Mr. Avery’s case and all of his legal options”, Zellner told the outlet.
Firstly, there is a growing number of people who are furious at what they see as two grave miscarriages of justice, and are committed to clearing the names of both Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey.
Avery’s defense also implied key pieces of evidence in this case could have been planted, and that Avery was framed.
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.
Ken Kratz, who was the Calumet County district attorney and the lead prosecutor in the case, shared his thoughts with WBAY.
