Making a Murderer Steven Avery Waits, as State Appellate Court ... Vacations? Sunbathes? Drinks Cold Beer?

State of Wisconsin v Steven Avery

Madison, Wisconsin —The once-exonerated Steven Avery awaits a ruling in his post-conviction litigation in state appellate court as he fights his second apparent frame-up scheme at the hands of Wisconsin law enforcement.

Little cause exists to expect the prosecution-friendly Wisconsin judiciary to impartially issue a ruling, but the courtesy of a speedy resolution to pending motions and other filings appears too much to wish for as well.

The case is State of Wisconsin v Steven Avery, featured in the Emmy-winning Making a Murderer docuseries.

Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, were convicted of first-degree homicide for the 2005 murder of a young photographer, Teresa Halbach. Both men are serving life sentences.

In April, a credible resident, Thomas Sowinski, came forward and swore he caught conspirators red-handed in a frame-up scheme, witnessing the prosecution's key trial witness plant the murder victim's RAV4 vehicle on the property of the man, Avery, convicted of homicide in 2007.

The innocence community fears the corrupt Wisconsin judiciary is crafting an opinion to deny a hearing, much less a new trial, after this spectacular new evidence.

The Democratic Party leadership, Wisconsin Democratic Party officials, Gov. Tony Evers and Attorney General Joshua Kaul, has made the political decision to work for law enforcement, even the odious and disgraced Avery prosecutor, Kenneth R. Kratz, against the wrongfully convicted.

There are two Republican judges, (Paul F. Reilly and Mark D. Gundrum) and two Democratic judges, (Lisa S. Neubauer, Jeffrey O. Davis) on  Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District II.

The Court's decision and opinion in Avery will be political, crafted to whatever is perceived to be in the political interests of the judges, as facts and Constitutional rights fall by the wayside.
