MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ)- Steven Avery has been granted a second extension of a deadline to file motions as he appeals his life sentence for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach.
Avery’s attorney, Kathleen Zellner, is planning to submit briefs to the appeals court in Madison, and was granted an extension to May 21 on Monday.
The appeal is related to post-conviction motions which were denied last fall.
Avery’s nephew Brendan Dassey is petitioning the US Supreme Court to review his conviction in the case.
