| Wisconsin Supreme Court protects law enforcement corruption, misconduct in denying Steven Avery petition. |
Attorneys received notification of an expected denial of Avery's Aug. 25, 2021 Petition for Review from the Supreme Court of Wisconsin on Nov 17, 2021.
Steven Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, were convicted of first-degree homicide in Wisconsin in 2007 for the murder of a young photographer, Teresa Halbach.
The case is State of Wisconsin v Steven Avery, featured in the Emmy-winning Making a Murderer docuseries.
The once-exonerated Steven Avery faces a vendetta from multiple foes, including the Wisconsin Democratic leadership, corrupt law enforcement and the Wisconsin Judiciary which has largely abdicated its role as protector of individual Constitutional rights in favor of covering for police misconduct.
The short Court statement includes no dissents, no explanation and no stated reasoning of the decision deliberated in secret.
"It is ordered that the petition for review is denied," reads the statement, not housed on a public website.
Replied Zellner:
Steven is just beginning. What lies ahead —a habeas petition w/ fed. court,a new petition w/circuit court on evidence appellate ct. left undecided, a new reward offer by our amazing benefactor. We’ve just finished warming up in the first inning @MakingAMurderer

This lack of reasoning, lack of transparency, as well as materiel misstatement of facts and history by judges in this case continue to cast doubt on the decisions and the credibility of the Wisconsin judicatory.
This denial is the high court protecting the reputation of the criminal justice system and the Wisconsin Judiciary, and the public's job is to watch as innocent men remain is prison.
Avery seeks a public evidentiary hearing on new exculpatory evidence that was hidden by the prosecution for the purpose of blocking material facts pointing to Avery's innocence.
He also seeks a new trial, reasoning that the non-existent case for his guilt combined with the clear law
enforcement misconduct would make the scandal of another guilty trial
verdict impossible.
The next step for Avery is to seek redress in federal court, or file in County Circuit Court.
The sheer number of documented Brady violations and other law reinforcement misconduct make refiling in County Court an easy matter.
In a legal spectacle in Spring 2021, Thomas Sowinski of Manitowoc swore in a statement that he saw the prosecution's key trial witness plant the murder victim's RAV4 vehicle on the property of the man convicted of homicide in 2007.
In
other words, a credible resident swears he caught conspirators
red-handed in a frame-up scheme in Wisconsin's infamous murder case
drawing headlines in State post-conviction litigation.
The response of the DOJ was to invent an ethical violation of atty Kathleen Zellner's, and ignore the new evidence instead of launching an investigation and agreeing to an evidentiary hearing.
It is now conventional wisdom that the Wisconsin Judiciary enjoys no more credibility than, for example, the judiciary of Russia or Brazil.
