When a series like Making A Murderer becomes a global sensation, it's only a matter of time before things start to get political.

A petition demanding the pardon of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, the subjects of the new Netflix series, has already garnered more than 150,000 signatures. Screen Shot 2016-01-04 at 13.01.17 On top of the petitions directed at Barack Obama, more subjects of the 10-part drama have come out in defence of their actions. Ken Kratz, a prosecutor who worked on getting Steven Avery convicted of murder, has claimed the Netflix documentary raising doubt over his guilt left out the bulk of the forensic evidence. Kratz, the former District Attorney of Calumet County, declined to be interviewed for the show. But he told Fox 11 News: "I believe there to be 80 to 90 per cent of the physical evidence, the forensic evidence, that ties Steven Avery to this murder never to have been presented in this documentary". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34M2zdLc-2U
