There are now two petitions to free the 'Making a Murderer' subjects
"Spoiler alert: The following contains details from the ending of the Netflix series Making a Murderer.
Ever since the Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer hit the site in mid-December, viewers have slowly but surely been binging their way through the true-crime saga, which tells the story of Steven Avery, a man who served 18 years for a crime he didn't commit, was exonerated, and then was accused and convicted of murder.
Avery is currently serving a life sentence for the 2005 murder of Teresa Hallbach, but after watching the Netflix series, many viewers are a little more than outraged about that fact, arguing that it appears Avery may have been wrongfully convicted again. And they're not being quiet about it..."

Penny Beernsten, the Rape Victim in Making A Murderer, Speaks Out
My testimony sent an innocent person to prison
. I absolutely wanted the earth to swallow me.
"In 1985, Penny Beerntsen was attacked and raped by a stranger while running along the beach near her home in Wisconsin. After she picked her assailant out of a police lineup, he was convicted and sentenced to 32 years in prison. For 18 of those years, Beernsten was convinced that her rapist was behind bars. But in 2003, DNA evidence revealed that Steven Avery, the man she identified and the subject of Netflixs documentary series Making a Murderer, was not her attacker. While he sat in prison, the real perpetrator, Gregory Allen, remained free for 10 years before he was arrested on unrelated rape charges..."

Making a Murderer Left Out Crucial Facts, Prosecutor Says
"Since Netflix released the documentary Making a Murderer in mid-December, its imprisoned central character has received a wave of support, including more than 269,000signatures on a petition asking President Obama to pardon him...
But the prosecutor in the case, Ken Kratz, said viewers convinced of Mr. Averys innocence did not get to see important evidence that led a jury to convict him.
The series really presents misinformation, Mr. Kratz said in an interview on Monday.
He portrayed the program as a tool of Mr. Averys defense and accused the filmmakers of intentionally withholding facts that would lead viewers to see his guilt..."

'Making a Murderer' Prosecutor Says Netflix Series 'Wasn't a Documentary at All' (with clip)
"..."This wasn't a documentary at all," former Wisconsin state prosecutor Ken Kratz told ABC News Good Morning America today. "It wasn't until Netflix decided to repackage this as a documentary that both sides were invited to participate."...
Kratz, the former Wisconsin state prosecutor, told ABC News, "If some of the evidence that was selected ... over an 18-month period didn't fit with the narrative ... that Mr. Avery was the product of a conspiracy ... it's my belief that the filmmakers just wouldn't include that information."..."

The 'Making a Murderer' filmmakers just revealed major news that could help Steven Avery
""Making a Murderer" creators Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos appeared on the "Today" show on Tuesday to reveal a new twist to the story of Steven Avery: At least one juror believes Avery was framed by the police...
According to Ricciardi, the filmmakers were contacted by one of the jurors after the series was released last month...
The filmmakers said the unnamed juror told them the juror's vote to find Avery guilty was made out of fear.
"Obviously we asked this person, 'So, explain what happened, why did you cast your vote for guilty?'" Demos said on "Today." "And what they told us was they feared for their personal safety."..

Making a Murderer documentary depicts miscarriages of justice that are not at all rare
"...One of the most gut-wrenching scenes is when one of the characters, Brendan Dassey Averys cousin, who is a shy and sad teenager with mental difficulties is coerced into confessing to the murder that is the subject of the majority of the documentary. His public defender briefly refers to the Reid method of interrogation then quickly moves on without explaining what they meant. But its an important point.
The New Yorker published an excellent article a couple years back reporting on the highly controversial technique, which is used by police around the country despite not being based on any actual science. It turns out the method where interrogators suggest and push events onto those they are interrogating for hours and constantly tell the suspects they are lying is great at getting confessions but terrible at getting the truth, and it often leads to putting innocent people behind bars..."

White House Issues Response to 'Making a Murderer' Petition
"The petition to free Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, the subjects of Netflix's popular series, was started on Dec. 20 and has reached over 129,000 signatures.
The White House issued a response to a petition to pardon Steven Avery and his cousin Brendan Dassey, the subjects of Netflix's popular series Making a Murderer, on Thursday.
In a statement posted via its We the People site, the White House explained that President Obama is unable to free Avery and Dassey because their alleged crime, the murdering of 25-year-old Teresa Halbach, is a state criminal offense.
"Under the Constitution, only federal criminal convictions, such as those adjudicated in the United States District Courts, may be pardoned by the President. In addition, the President's pardon power extends to convictions adjudicated in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and military court-martial proceedings. However, the President cannot pardon a state criminal offense," the statement reads..."
