Steven Avery From 'Making a Murderer' Was Framed, According to One Juror
The plot thickens.
In an on-camera interview with Today Making A Murderer filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos revealed a juror from the 2005 Steven Avery murder case reached out because they agreed with the show's sentiments.
There was also some compromising being done during deliberation.
The juror in questions chose to stay anonymous for fear of personal safety.
If you don't have Netflix or aren't a fan of social media, the documentary series has taken on a life of it's own for its portrayal of the sheriff's department in Manitowoc County, Wisc. and the American justice system in general. Steven Avery did 18 years in the bing for a crime he didn't commit.
After his release he attempted to sue Manitowoc County for $36 million in damages and then, boom, he tortures, rapes, and murders somebody with his 16-year-old nephew.
Avery claims he was framed and his legal team did a good job in trying to prove that claim to no avail. He was sentenced to life in prison. Since the show's premiere two online petitions have popped up pleading for President Barack Obama to pardon them. All of Avery's appeals have been denied.
