Making a Murderer: Steven Avery launches another legal battle

Homemovies & tv

The subject of the most talked about documentary in TV history had filed an appeal for his freedom.

Steven Avery has launched another appeal for his freedom to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. The subject of Netflix documentary Making a Murderer has a new legal team and they are claiming that the warrant used by investigators to look for evidence of Teresa Halbach's murder on the Avery property was not valid. They claim that police used it to search several properties, although it only covered one. Avery also claims that he was denied "an impartial jury trial" when one of the jurors told the jury room that Avery was "fucking guilty." The campaign to get Avery, and his nephew Brendan Dassey, exonerated of the murder of Halbach has blown up since Making a Murderer started streaming on Netflix before Christmas.
