UNDATED (WTAQ) – An interview with the new attorney representing Steven Avery delves into why she took the case.
Kathleen Zellner recently spoke with “The Lip TV” about her decision to take Avery’s case.
“I selected the Avery case because I think that there was very blatant police misconduct in planting evidence,” Zeller said. “I think that the Avery family was discriminated against just because they were viewed, particularly Steven, as dispensable.”
Zellner has a page on her website, which includes soliciting contributions to Avery’s legal defense fund.
She also recently tweeted, “Cellphone tower records of SA (Steven Avery) and TH (Teresa Halbach) provide airtight alibi for him. She left property he didn’t. #MakingAMurderer #UnmakingAMurderer“
One of Avery’s former lawyers said that new evidence would need to come out in order for him to be freed.
Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey were convicted in 2007 of killing Halbach in Manitowoc County back in 2005. Those cases spawned the popular Netflix series “Making a Murderer.”
