The case is Manitowoc County Case Number 2005CF000381, Wisconsin vs. Steven A. Avery #122987, featured in the Emmy-winning Making a Murderer docuseries.
Steven 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.
Most see this spectacle as revenge
prosecutions in the most corrupt region of Wisconsin. Those for whom innocents in prison present moral problems want Dassey and Avery out.
In January 2023, (Ferak, Patch-Wisconsin), Steven Avery filed his Jan 24, 2023 motion as the Democrat-run state of Wisconsin and Dept of "Justice" continue its defense of this notorious police-organized frame-up, perhaps the second-most documented crime in modern Wisconsin history, Making a Murderer (Netflix), (Ricciardi, Demos). Avery wants a new trial.
Wisconsin and a respectable chunk of the world awaits the response of the corrupt Judge Angela Sutkiewicz. Corruption, it's Wisconsin.
Meanwhile, Brendan Dassey supporters keep up the campaign to free who used to be an innocent 16-year-old, preyed up by crooked cops.
No credible observer doubts the innocence of Avery and Dassey, yet they remain in prison.
Further driving the Avery and Dassey cases down the sewer is the full
awareness of Gov. Tony Evers (D) and Attorney General Joshua Kaul (D)
that they are defending the work of perhaps Wisconsin's most reviled
district attorney in modern times — Kenneth R. Kratz who prosecuted both the Avery and Dassey cases.
Ken Kratz was driven from office after Gov. Jim Doyle began removal proceedings in 2010 following assault and sexual harassment allegations leveled against Kratz by several women, (ABC News, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) about misconduct committed some two years after the Avery and Dassey disgrace.
Kratz' defense? Kratz claimed he is a drug and sex addict and victim of a medically diagnosed Narcissistic Personality Disorder that made Kratz uncontrollably arrogant and malignant — transforming him into a "dick," as termed by Kratz in 2016, (p. 13, Supreme Court of Wisconsin, Huffington Post).
Two innocents in prison, an infamy supported by the Democrat Party of Wisconsin. This is America. This is Wisconsin.
17 yrs ago yesterday, 16-yr-old WI special ed student Brendan Dassey gave an error-riddled confession to a murder he didn’t commit, after being falsely told he’d avoid charges if he confessed.

Listen as @DrPhilPodcast, @DThompsonWZ, & I break down why we must bring Brendan home. https://t.co/TaBLJhmizU
Counsel for youth during interrogations used to be a pipe dream. But evidence that youth are more vulnerable to police coercion & more likely to falsely confess has changed the equation. It's time for NY to join Cal.,i Md, & Ill. & give lawyers to youth BEFORE interrogation. https://t.co/ZqewrDsQ2Z

Kids + lawyer = essential.

Parents, remember this like it’s etched onto your soul.
New York lawmakers, pass this bill (requiring lawyers for kids) like the child being wrongfully convicted is yours. https://t.co/btbRg7jaeg
