The Netflix documentary series “Making a Murderer” hasn’t just sparked debate about the innocence or guilt of Steven Avery, the Wisconsin man and convicted killer that the series revolves around. It’s also incited discussion about its own veracity. Ken Kratz, the prosecutor in the Avery case, told TheWrap in an email this week that the series left out crucial pieces of evidence. Robert Hermann, the sheriff in Manitowoc County, Wis., said that the filmmakers “cut the tape and manipulated things.” Is a filmmaker obligated to tell a complete story in unadorned fashion? And does “Making a Murderer” count as journalism calling.

I swear, anywhere I go nowadays if people aren't discussing Star Wars, they're talking about Making A Murderer. The decade-spanning Netflix documentary about Steven Avery, a man accused of murder seemingly denied a fair trial has exploded into the mainstream. Petitions have sprung up requesting a pardon from the president with over 200k signatures, Free Steven Avery shirts are circulating the web, and people are calling for serious reform of our court justice system. But even with all the people who are loving the documentary, there is one camp who hates it especially: the people who look bad in it.

Making a Murderer filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos told Today Tuesday that one of the jurors in Steven Avery's murder trial told them that they believed Avery was framed for the murder of Teresa Halbach.
"[The juror] told us that they believe Steven Avery was not proven guilty," Ricciardi said. "They believe Steven was framed by law enforcement and that he deserves a new trial, and if he receives a new trial, in their opinion, it should take place far away from Wisconsin."
Avery is currently serving a life sentence for killing Halbach.

The true-crime documentary Making a Murderer is missing some important pieces of information, Manitowoc County Sheriff Robert Hermann tells The Hollywood Reporter. The recently released Netflix series tells the story of Steven Avery, who served 18 years in prison for a sexual assault conviction out of that Wisconsin county before he was exonerated by DNA evidence in 2003. Then in 2005, Avery was convicted of the murder of 25-year-old Teresa Halbach. Since its release last month, the series has skyrocketed in popularity. Even celebrities are weighing in on the case and discussing whether Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, also convicted of the

After watching Making a Murderer, Manitowoc County Sheriff Robert Hermann is reportedly "not pleased" with the Netflix docu-series, telling The Wrap that crucial footage involving Steven Avery – the Wisconsin native currently serving a life sentence on a 2005 murder charge – is "manipulated."
"Because of all the media stuff we've been getting, I actually did watch with it my inspector and I still stand by that statement," Hermann said. "In several areas throughout the film, you can see where they cut the tape and manipulated things. One place real evident is one...

The Wisconsin attorney who handled the prosecutions of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey - the uncle and nephew whose murder convictions are heavily scrutinized in Netflix's new documentary series, Making a Murderer - is coming under fire from fans of the series, who've taken to Yelp to lambaste the litigator.
