Despite popular belief that Steven Avery is innocent in the homicide case of Theresa Halbach, one fact remains true: Avery is still in prison.
If you’ve been keeping up with the Making A Murderer series, you know that it’s famed for its intriguing plot twists, but Avery’s lawyer Kathleen Zellner is about to seriously drop the mic here. Zellner has been on the case for three long years, desperately compiling evidence to prove that Avery’s innocent—and to find out who really murdered Theresa Halbach.
Here’s what she recently revealed:
“In one week, we’re filing the appellate brief, so we’re going to file all of this information with the higher court. We’ve got a record that’s 22,000 pages.
The higher court is going to review all of this new evidence. After we file, the state will file their response, and then the court will have an oral argument, and then they’ll make a decision. Whatever decision they make, it’s going to go to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. So even if we win, the state will still force it to be decided by the highest court in Wisconsin.
You must, if you can, create reasonable doubt by having an alternative theory that matches the evidence. That’s when you’re most likely to win a murder case.
My goal is to not just find the constitutional violation to get Steven Avery a new trial, because many people are convicted again in their second trial. I am trying to get the evidence to what I believe is the truth of what happened, so that there won’t BE another trial.
She even teased some details via Twitter:
We are pleased to announce that one of the world's leading DNA experts, Dr. Richard Selden @drrichardselden, is willing to test the bones in the Manitowoc County Gravel Pit with new Rapid DNA ID. If this testing is allowed, we believe the bones will be Ms. Halbach's.

This will prove the murder and mutilation occurred in the Manitowoc County Gravel Pit and the bones were planted in Mr. Avery's burn pit to frame him.

Kratz said that because it couldn't be shown the bones were human that he wasn't going to spend 20 seconds on them. We believe that identifying the bones as Ms. Halbach's will cause the case to be reversed for a new trial. #askzellner

If Zellner could get the courts to approve the bone testing, then it’s quite possible that Avery will be a free man…unless there’s another plot twist waiting for us.
