When Netflix released its crime documentary series Making A Murderer many viewers expressed disgust and outrage with the startling evidence that suggests members of Manitowoc County, Wisconsin law enforcement framed an innocent man. The case of Steven Avery is one of sabotage, deception, and injustice. Making A Murder brought to light many aspects of Avery’s case that are beyond questionable, and depict that some methodical planning went into making Avery appear to be a monstrous figure.
While Avery is currently serving a life sentence without parole, for his alleged role in the killing of photographer Teresa Halbach, his new lawyer, wrongful conviction specialist Kathleen Zellner thinks she may have some evidence that could exonerate him.
Per NBC News:
“Generally, since 2007, there have been significant advances in forensic testing … the clearest way to do this is with scientific testing,” Kathleen Zellner told Dateline NBC’s Andrea Canning in her first TV interview since taking the case. “Am I going to tell you exactly what it is? I am not. But it’s been a long time. There was a lot of evidence that wasn’t tested.”
Could it be they found a way to test that blood smudge that was pretty obviously taking from Avery’s blood sample? We hope so. Without real details, Avery supporters can only rely on Zellner’s confident claims.
