Ken Kratz is writing a book “to tell the whole story” about the Making a Murderer experience

This should be interesting.

Ken Kratz, one of the leading figures in the wildly popular Making a Murderer documentary series on Netflix, is set to write a book about the experience. Kratz was the District Attorney who successfully prosecuted Steven Avery for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach, a conviction that proved highly controversial due to accusations of a conspiracy on behalf of the law enforcement officials to frame Avery for the murder. Kratz proved to be a quite unpopular figure with Making a Murderer viewers, some of whom took to his Yelp page to attack him with negative reviews and comments, with some going as far to wish personal tragedy on Kratz and his family. The former DA of Calumet County is now set to write a book to “tell the whole story” about what happened in the Steven Avery case. In writing the book, Kratz wants to stand up for the reputation of the criminal justice process and the reputation of the law enforcement officials involved, while he also pointed out that “the one voice forgotten to this point is Teresa Halbach”. “Finally grateful to tell the whole story,” Kratz told WBAY-TV. Commenting further to Buzzfeed News via e-mail, Kratz said: “The validity of the conviction is being challenged. The reputations of law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and others in the criminal justice process are being trashed. The overall trustworthiness of the justice system is under attack. “I believe somebody needs to stand up for the cops, the courts, and the victim by telling the truth and setting forth the vast amount of evidence proving Avery’s guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt.” “I want people to understand that, contrary to the thesis of the documentary, our criminal justice system does work,” Kratz added. “And of course, in the process, I hope to restore my reputation.” Kratz resigned as District Attorney of Calumet County in 2010 due to a scandal over text messages of a sexual nature sent to a victim of domestic abuse on behalf of whom he was working as a prosecutor. He also recently admitted that he “was a dick” in an interview with comedian Jena Friedman for Vice News. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-jF2Q3wjFE
