She also represents Steven Avery and has just filed an almost 1300 page motion, requesting a new trial. Since Zellner began her law firm in January 1991, she has obtained the exoneration of 18 wrongfully convicted men (holy crap), handling many of these cases pro bono. Ms. Zellner has secured many important exonerations that have changed law both in Illinois and the United States. In one case, she obtained the release of death row inmate Joseph Burrows by persuading the real killer to confess to the murder (wtf). The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed the trial court decision releasing Burrows from death row. This Zellner lady is a BEAST and very impressive!
