The story continues.

Steven Avery, the focus of Netflix’s Making a Murderer, has had his request for a new trial denied. Avery was sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted of murdering 25-year-old Teresa Halbach in 2005. To this day, Avery maintains that he is innocent. His attorney requested a new trial because she believed she had new evidence to present at trial if it had been granted. https://twitter.com/ZellnerLaw/status/915345920916459521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/averydassey/status/915350286935511041   The judge made the ruling that the evidence provided did not warrant a new trial. In 2016, Steven Avery’s nephew Brendan Dassey 2007 conviction for assisting Avery in the murder was overturned.   https://twitter.com/TMJ4Steve/status/915300449632292870
