Here are a few quotes from that article:
While he was in prison, Steven Avery planned the torture and killing of a young woman, new documents released Wednesday indicate.
Avery also bought leg irons and handcuffs three weeks before he allegedly killed Teresa Halbach, the special prosecutor in his homicide case said.
"Steven Avery has demonstrated an intent, plan and motive to abduct, rape, torture, kill and mutilate young women," according to conversations Avery had with prison inmates, and Avery showed diagrams of a "torture chamber" he intended to build, Kratz said in his motion.
In the bail denial motion, Kratz said Avery was "at best a casual acquaintance" of Halbach, and "targeted" her as a victim. Halbach had photographed vehicles at the Avery Salvage Yard in the past, and Avery specifically requested her the day she disappeared. Instead of using his own name, he provided the magazine she took photos for with the name of his sister-in-law.
"Steven Avery has a long history of acts of violence, mostly perpetrated against female victims, which acts include physical and sexual violence," the motion said.
Among other documents filed in support of his motion, Kratz submitted the transcript of a 1993 hearing before Manitowoc County Circuit Judge Fred Hazelwood that said Avery, while in prison, threatened to mutilate and kill his former wife, Lori Mathieson.
That threat included drawings, and Hazelwood also discussed a "bizarre incident" with "sexual overtones" in which Avery admitted ramming his cousin's car and forcing her off the road.
"Even if we accept Mr. Avery's premise that he is not guilty of the (1985) charges, there's plenty to be worried about with a man like this when he makes threats," Hazelwood said at that hearing.
Hazelwood terminated Avery's contact with his children, saying "he has tremendous needs. He has huge anger. He has real potential to harm people, and he's not dealt with any of that."
Kratz also included in Wednesday's filings statements from prisoners who served time with Avery at Green Bay Correctional Institution. They said Avery talked about and showed them diagrams of a torture chamber he planned to build when he was released.
