The ten - episode first season, written and directed by Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, explores the story of Steven Avery, a man from Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, who served 18 years in prison for the wrongful conviction of sexual assault and attempted murder of Penny Beerntsen, before being fully exonerated in 2003 by DNA evidence. He filed a suit against the county on this case. In 2005, Avery was arrested on charges of murdering Teresa Halbach, a local photographer, and was convicted in 2007. The series also covers the arrest, prosecution, and conviction of Avery 's nephew, Brendan Dassey, who was also charged in the murder, largely based on his confession under interrogation. The series was filmed over the course of ten years, with the filmmakers moving back and forth from New York City to Wisconsin during filming. To promote the series, Netflix released the first episode concurrently on YouTube and on Netflix, which it had not done for any other original programming. In July 2016, Netflix announced that it was filming a second season, to explore the aftermath of Dassey 's conviction and the numerous appeals that have taken place. As a production, the series was favorably compared to the HBO series The Jinx and the podcast Serial. Making a Murderer was widely viewed and it has generated considerable controversy, both in Manitowoc County, the setting of events, and nationwide. A petition in December 2015 to the White House to pardon Avery garnered more than 500,000 signatures. The White House 's statement noted `` the President can not pardon a state criminal offense ''. On August 12, 2016, Avery 's nephew Brendan Dassey, who was also found guilty, had his conviction overturned by a federal judge on the grounds that he was unconstitutionally coerced by the police into confessing to the murder, and this was the only substantial evidence in his case. On November 14, 2016, Federal Judge William Duffin ordered Dassey 's release from prison within 90 days, if Wisconsin prosecutors do not move forward with a retrial. On November 17, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit blocked Dassey 's release while the appeal is being heard. A three - judge panel from the 7th Circuit affirmed the Judge Duffin decision to release Dassey and stated that Dassey should be freed unless the state chooses to retry him. In December 2017, the full seven - member panel of the Seventh Circuit voted to uphold Dassey 's original conviction.

In 1985, Avery was arrested and convicted of the sexual assault of Penny Beerntsen, despite having an alibi. After serving 18 years in prison, Avery was exonerated with the aid of the Innocence Project, when the DNA in the case was matched to another man. After Avery was released from prison in 2003, he filed a $36 million civil lawsuit against Manitowoc County and several county officials associated with his arrest and conviction. Two years later, Avery was re-arrested and charged with the murder of Teresa Halbach, a photographer who disappeared after she was known to have photographed a vehicle at Avery 's salvage yard. The handling of the Halbach murder case was highly controversial. Steven Avery and his lawyers argued that he had once again been `` set up '' by his judicial adversaries. Bloodstains recovered from the interior of Halbach 's car matched Avery 's DNA. Avery maintained that the murder charge was a frameup, promulgated to discredit his pending civil case. His attorneys accused Manitowoc officials of evidence tampering after a vial of Avery 's blood, stored in an evidence locker since the 1985 trial, was found with broken container seals and a puncture hole in the stopper, suggesting that blood from the vial could have been used to plant incriminating evidence in the victim 's vehicle. The Avery tube contained ethylenediamine - tetraacetic acid ( EDTA ), which prevents blood coagulation and degradation. EDTA is not naturally present in human blood, and the defense argued that if EDTA was found in the crime scene blood, it would prove the blood was planted. While the tampering charge was never substantiated, accusations of prosecutorial misconduct have persisted. Making a Murderer explores issues and procedures in the Manitowoc County Sheriff 's Department that led to Avery 's original conviction, and suggests that the department had a conflict of interest in investigating Halbach 's murder. Brendan Dassey, Avery 's nephew, was also accused and convicted as an accessory in the murder. The series depicts his trial as well, along with subsequent accusations of coercion and attorney ineptitude. In other media The story of the initial crime for which Avery was charged and imprisoned was featured in the Radiolab episode, `` Are You Sure ? '' ( airdate March 26, 2013 ), in the segment `` Reasonable Doubt ''. The show featured an interview with Penny Beerntsen, the subject of the attack for which Avery was wrongfully convicted.

They met as graduate students in Columbia University 's film program. The two learned about Avery after reading a 2005 article in The New York Times about his 2003 exoneration and 2005 arrest for murder. Both thought that his case could be an interesting subject for a documentary. Before meeting with Netflix, Demos and Ricciardi met with executives at PBS and HBO, but neither network was interested in the project. Netflix originally planned an eight - episode first season, but later expanded its order to ten. The show 's graphics and main title sequence were completed by Santa Monica - based design studio Elastic. Reception Critical response The series alternately received praise and criticism from critics. Some praised its comprehensive nature, and the series has an approval rating of 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 35 reviews, with an average rating of 8.6 out of 10. The site 's critical consensus describes Making a Murderer as `` a spellbinding slow burn that effectively utilizes the documentary format to tell a twisty mystery. '' On Metacritic, the series has a weighted average score of 84 out of 100, based on 21 critics, indicating `` universal acclaim ''. Lenika Cruz, writing for The Atlantic, commended the series for its `` sense of total immersion ''. Mike Hale, for The New York Times, described it as giving an : almost Dickensian account of the tragedy of the Averys. The uniformly stoic family members shift allegiances over the years, while Mr. Avery 's parents, as movingly bewildered and terrified as any fictional creations, steadfastly believe in their son 's innocence, even as their long battle takes down their business and any sense they may have had of belonging to a community. Some critics, however, have described Making a Murderer as one - sided and emotionally manipulative. There are also claims that key evidence from the trial was omitted from the documentary. Making a Murderer has been compared to The Jinx, a miniseries on HBO, and Serial, a podcast. All three series investigate criminal cases : The Jinx detailed murders allegedly committed by Robert Durst. The first season of Serial dealt with the murder of Hae Min Lee.

Some celebrities, including Alec Baldwin, Ricky Gervais, and Mandy Moore, praised the series on social media. A petition to the White House that requested pardons for Avery and Dassey garnered more than 128,000 signatures. The White House responded that, as the convictions were made in state court, the President had no authority to pardon either defendant. Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin said he would not consider a pardon. Dassey is being represented by the Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth at Northwestern University. Appeals within the state courts failed, but his conviction was overturned in federal district court on August 12, 2016, by a Magistrate Judge, based on the unconstitutional coercion of his confession. His defense team had petitioned the court to hear his case on habeas corpus grounds. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit granted a stay of the release on November 17, 2016, pending resolution of the appeal. As of January 9, 2016, Avery is being represented by Kathleen Zellner, a noted Chicago - area attorney, and Tricia Bushnell, legal director of the Midwest Innocence Project. Local reporters ' comments Local reporter Angenette Levy was interviewed after the series and said : `` I did notice there were some parts of the state 's theory, and some other things that were n't discussed in the documentary, '' but she also noted that it was a six - week trial with much evidence reviewed in court. She said she was surprised that the trial, which she found compelling on many levels, had not received more national attention when it was being conducted. She found Dassey 's conviction `` tragic, '' as was Avery 's wrongful conviction in 1985 but did not comment on the conviction in the Halbach case. TV reporter Diana Alvear wrote on her blog that she believed Halbach 's life and character deserved more coverage in the series. Other local reporters said that the case still weighed on them nearly a decade after the trial. Law enforcement comments In an interview with the Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter, Sheriff Robert Hermann criticized the series, calling it `` skewed '' and not objective, but he admitted that he had not watched it. According to FOX local news, Ken Kratz, the former Calumet County district attorney who prosecuted Avery, said that he had not been able to give his side of the story. In another interview, he said that in 2013 Demos and Ricciardi denied him an opportunity for an interview. The documentary makers said this statement was false, as it was Kratz who refused an interview. In an interview with People magazine, Kratz has said that the Netflix documentary left out key pieces of evidence against Steven Avery. He said that Avery used a fake name when requesting Halbach as a photographer, and that he had placed three calls to her cell phone on October 31. Kratz said Halbach 's cellphone, camera and PDA were found near Avery 's trailer. He noted other physical evidence that was found in the firepit on Avery 's property, and that Avery 's DNA was found on the hood latch of the victim 's car. A ballistics report indicated that the bullet found in the garage was fired by Avery 's rifle. In an email sent to The Wrap, Kratz alleged that, while in prison for the rape conviction, Avery told another inmate of his intent to build a `` torture chamber '' to use for young women when he was released. In a February 2017 interview with DailyMail.com about Kratz 's newly - released book, titled Avery : The Case Against Steven Avery and What ' Making a Murderer ' Gets Wrong, Kratz stated that the filmmakers knew that the defense had abandoned a theory that someone in law enforcement had made a hole in a blood vial of Avery 's to plant blood on the scene of the crime. However, Kratz claims the filmmakers failed to address a sworn, written statement of a nurse that she was the one who made a hole in the blood vial when she had drawn Avery 's blood. Filmmakers ' response The filmmakers have said that they gave prosecutors an opportunity to answer questions, but that Kratz refused invitations to be interviewed for the series. Demos and Ricciardi said they believed the documentary was fair and included the most significant evidence of the six - week trial, including much of the state 's key evidence. Demos said that Kratz `` is going on television and lodging accusations against us. Much of what he says, simply his facts are not true. It 's not about ' do we include it, do we not include it ', they simply are not facts. '' The filmmakers maintain that their documentary was thorough, accurate, and fair. Strang comments Dean Strang, one of Avery 's attorneys for the Halbach trial, stated the filmmakers did `` a good editorial job '' with the documentary. Strang noted that the trial lasted for six weeks and featured approximately 200 to 240 hours of evidence. Strang believes that showing the full trial would have been too long for audiences and that only the most significant points on both sides could be shown. He disagreed that significant evidence was left out. Comments by other involved parties Jodi Stachowski, a former fiancée of Avery 's, defended him in the documentary. But, during an interview on HLN 's Nancy Grace in January 2016, she was asked whether she believes Avery killed Halbach. She said, `` Yes, I do, because he threatened to kill me and my family and a friend of mine. '' Stachowski also said that Avery forced her to lie to Netflix producers, threatening that otherwise she would `` pay for it. '' She quoted other alleged hearsay comments by him. The Halbach family stated they were `` saddened to learn that individuals and corporations continue to create entertainment and to seek profit from their loss. '' In a People article, Kay Giordana, Halbach 's aunt, was quoted as saying that the documentary was `` terrible '' and `` unfortunate, '' and `` not even close to what really happened. Everybody has their own side of a story. That is the Avery family 's side of the story. I would n't expect it to be different. They think he is innocent. I am not surprised. I am surprised that someone would put that together in that way and have it ( be ) one - sided. '' She added that Avery is `` 100 percent guilty. No doubt about it. '' Halbach 's cousin - in - law, Jeremy Fournier, described the documentary as `` very one - sided '' and feels that viewers are `` only getting one side of the story. '' Beerntsen, whose testimony contributed to the wrongful conviction of Avery for rape, declined to be interviewed for Making a Murderer. After the series was released, she said that she believed that the filmmakers had decided that Avery was innocent of the murder charge and were not amenable to evidence presented in court. Though deeply remorseful for mistakenly identifying Avery as her rapist, she is not convinced that he is innocent of the murder of Halbach.
