This is quite the revelation.
Filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi, whose Making a Murderer documentary is arguably the most talked about TV event of recent times, have told NBC’s Today Show how a juror on the murder trial of Steven Avery has revealed how they were ‘intimidated into voting him guilty’.
Ricciardi revealed how she and Demos were contacted by a juror, who felt that Avery had been framed by law enforcement and was not guilty of the murder of Teresa Halbach.
“We were contacted by one of the jurors who sat through Steven Avery’s trial and shared with us their thoughts,” revealed Ricciardi. “(This person) told us they believed Steven Avery was not proven guilty, they believe that Steven was framed by law enforcement and that he deserves a new trial.
“If he receives a new trial, in their opinion it should take place far away from Wisconsin.”
When they were asked if this was a juror who voted to convict, Demos responded: “Yes absolutely. We asked this person to explain what happened, why did you cast your vote for guilty? And what this person told us was that they feared for their personal safety.”
