Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, the directors behind the true crime series Making a Murderer, said that one of the jurors in Steven Avery’s murder trial contacted them to say they believe Avery was framed.
Avery, a Wisconsin man currently serving a life sentence for killing Teresa Halbach in 2005, is the subject of Making a Murderer.
Since Netflix released the 10-part series, which argues that the Manitowoc County law enforcement framed Avery for murder, innumerable questions have risen surrounding his case.
According to the juror, the jury was sceptical of the evidence presented against Avery during the trial, but said they voted to convict Avery because “they feared for their personal safety”, Demos said.
