An insider exposes the shocking facts deliberately left out of the hit Netflix series Making a Murderer -- and argues persuasively that Steven Avery was rightfully convicted in the 2005 killing of Teresa Halbach.After serving eighteen years for a crime he didn't commit, Steven Avery was freed -- and filed a thirty-six-million-dollar lawsuit against Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. But before the suit could be settled, Avery was arrested again -- this time for the brutal murder of Teresa Halbach -- and, through the office of a special prosecutor, convicted once more.When the saga exploded onto the public consciousness with the airing of Making a Murderer, Michael Griesbach, a prosecutor and member of Wisconsin's Innocence Project who had been instrumental in Avery's 2003 exoneration, was targeted on social media, threatened -- and plagued by doubt.
