In an interview with The Wrap, filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi addressed the recent criticisms of the documentary made by former prosecutor Ken Kratz in People Magazine. Kratz argues that the creators left out “key evidence” that caused the jury to come to their final decision regarding the fates of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey.
Here's the reply that the filmmakers gave;
Moira Demos: "I guess I would ask Kratz what he would trade it for. We tried to choose what we thought was Kratz’s strongest evidence pointing toward Steven’s guilt, the things he talked about at his press conferences, the things that were really damning toward Steven. That’s what we put in. The things I’ve heard listed as things we’ve left out seem much less convincing of guilt than Teresa’s DNA on a bullet or her remains in his backyard".
Laura Ricciardi: "To state this another way, I’d say that all of the most significant evidence of the state is in the series. It was a nearly six-week-long trial, and it would just be impossible for us to include all of the less significant evidence".
The duo also hit back at Kratz’s comments about not wanting to “muddy up a perfectly good conspiracy movie with what actually happened".
Ricciardi: "This is coming from a man who argued in closing arguments that reasonable doubts are for innocent people. This is coming from a man who said, “So what if the key was planted?” This is coming from a man who was forced out of office for admittedly sending sexually suggestive text messages to a domestic-violence victim whose case he was prosecuting. We are confident. We stand by the project we did. It is thorough. It is accurate. It is fair. That is why it took us 10 years to produce it.
It seems that the world is still hungry for even more information on this gripping case and in an interview with , Demos and Ricciardi said that they have discussed the possibility of revisiting this story.
