MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) – An attorney who represented Steven Avery says his best chance for being freed is for new evidence to come out.
Dean Strang tells WISN-TV in Milwaukee that Avery’s “realistic hope” is for somebody to spill a secret that’s been hidden for 10 years.
The recent Netflix series “Making a Murderer” has raised doubts about the convictions of Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey — both of whom are in prison for the brutal death of Teresa Halbach in 2005 at an auto salvage yard in Manitowoc County.
The Netflix series has resulted in national news coverage of the case — and four petitions with more than 320,000 signatures are on Change.Org and the White House website, calling for pardons and federal investigations.
The Manitowoc County sheriff says the documentary does not tell the whole story.
