By now, you’ve probably noticed we’ve done a lot of reporting on Making A Murderer.
We promise we’ll stop just as soon as people stop being interested in the incredibly compelling story of Steven Avery.
There have been many twists and turns in the case of Teresa Halbach’s murder, which only seem set to continue in the hit Netflix documentary.
For example, a war of words has developed between creators of the documentary and Avery’s chief prosecutor, Ken Kratz. Kratz claims Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos omitted crucial evidence from the documentary in order to prejudice the audience in favour of the defendants.
Speaking to Maxim, Kratz claims that some of Halbach’s possessions (besides her keys) were found on Avery’s property. Her phone and camera were found 20 feet from Avery’s door. This was presented at trial, and not contested.
Kratz further claimed there was additional DNA evidence linked Avery to the crime: his sweat was found beneath the hood of Halbach’s car. “Do the cops also have a vial of his sweat that they are carrying around?”, Kratz asked.
Lastly, Kratz told People magazine Halbach had been out to the Avery auto-lot before to photograph cars – and she was creeped out by Avery. Avery, for his part, supposedly requested that Halbach’s magazine send her out.
Of course, none of this evidence is conclusive – all it really does is somewhat strengthen what was previously a very weak case for the prosecution. One thing, however, is for sure: the story of Steven Avery is far from over.
