Making A Murderer’s Steven Avery Has A New Power Attorney And She’s Coming In Hot

When we last saw Steven Avery, he was representing himself and seeking a new trial via the appeals process, but the former wrongly-convicted rapist and current possibly wrongfully-convicted murderer may be seeing the tide turn.

Kathleen Zellner is a Chicago-based attorney who specializes in wrongful convictions and has 16 overturned convictions and a Chicago Lawyer Magazine “Person of the Year” award to her name. Like the rest of us, Zellner has taken interest in the Avery case, and now this wrongful conviction gunslinger is strolling into the Wild Wild Midwest with guns blazing. The fury of Zellner is about to rain down on the District Attorney’s office and the rest of Manitowoc County.

Yesterday: in bedroom where key was "found." Room is so small could not have missed unless they searched w/eyes closed. #MakingAMurderer

Also body was not burned in burn pit bc heat would have burned down Avery's garage. A lot of junk science at the junkyard. #MakingAMurderer

Another visit to Steven Avery. 38 boxes of files reviewed. He remains innocent & framed. #MakingAMurderer

There are a few other gems on her Twitter, and hopefully many more to come as her work on this case continues. We all loved & appreciated the hard work and dedication of Jerry Buting and Dean Strang, but Zellner is bringing absolute fire right away, and her pedigree could be what it takes to get Avery (and maybe Brendan “He’s not that smart” Dassey) a shot at exoneration.

Here’s to hoping Netflix pumps out 40 more MAM episodes by the end of this year..
