Spoiler Alert: Making A Murderer directors reveal shocking claims from juror

I’m apparently not the only one to think so, because a change.org petition asking President Obama to pardon Avery has reached over 165,000 online signatures.

“They believed that Steven Avery was framed by law enforcements and that he deserves a new trial and that if he receives a new trial, in their opinion, it should take place far away from Wisconsin”.

Avery had spent 18 years in prison for rape before being released in 2003 when DNA showed another man had committed the crime. Upon filing a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the county, he was charged in Halbach’s murder.

Despite the support for Avery, it appears that little can be done, which is why the series is so frustrating.

Both Avery and Dassey have appealed their convictions.

A second petition on Change.org has already garnered more than 170,000 signatures at the time of writing, with people calling for Avery’s immediate exoneration.

Meanwhile, Brendan Dassey, whose confession of his own involvement in Halbach’s death is believed to be coerced, is serving out his life sentence with the possibility of parole in 2048.

The White House petition seeks a full pardon, stating that “the justice system embarrassingly failed both men, completely ruining their entire lives”.

The series follows Steven Avery’s trial, one that puts the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department in the hot seat too, with multiple examples of shoddy police work.

Chances are you didn’t get through the holidays without hearing about, or actually watching, Netflix’s Making a Murderer.

Avery, a Wisconsin man, was found guilty of murdering Teresa Halbach but not guilty of a charge of mutilating a corpse.

Reads the petition, “Steven Avery should be exonerated at once by pardon, and the Manitowoc County officials complicit in his two false imprisonments should be held accountable to the highest extent of the USA criminal and civil justice systems”.

The petition had gathered more than 170,000 signatures as of Monday morning.

Kratz claims that the “Making a Murderer” directors left out crucial evidence pointing to Avery’s guilt.
