“When I left prison, the anger left… I was probably the happiest i have ever been.” That line seems like it would be a perfect bookend to a story full of heartbreak and torture. But that is not the case for Wisconsin resident, Steven Avery.

Avery has been a controversial figure in the american public since his story hit the mainstream. For the people who don’t know, Avery, back in 2003, was released after spending 18 years in prison for sexually assault, which because of DNA edvience. After his release, Avery decided to sue the Manitowoc County Police department. A few months after his lawsuit, a young Wisconsin named Tressa Halbach went missing on Avery’s property. Avery was later accused and tried for the crime and later was proven to be guilty.

During the trail, many people following the case thought that Avery was wrongly accused and now is spending his entire life in prison because of something he had nothing to do with. This thought is so prevalent in the world that a Documentary series was made on Netflix following the event called Making A Murder. The 10 episode mini series follows the Avery family for the 10 years that Steven was going through his murder trial. The series strongly suggests that the Manitowoc County Police department and the state framed Steven Avery.

The show has quickly become one of the most talked about shows in the early part of 2016. Ever since the show came out, viewers have called for Avery’s release. With Websites have popped up all over the internet to get Avery out of prison. Including StevenAvery.org which in the websites misson statement says “We are trying to find a key to get Steven a new trial.”

Not everyone is completely on convinced that Avery is innocent. Some even claim that the series left out some key details out of the trail. One of the biggest opponents of the series has been the state prosecutor who sent Avery to jail, Ken Kratz.

Kratz was not portrayed in the best light in the series. In fact, the filmmakers made it seem that he was the biggest scumbag in the planet.

“The entire series presents a lot of misinformation,” said Kratz to the New York Times. “The filmmakers had an agenda, now the entire world is in outrage and that is exually what they wanted.”

Kratz also claimed that they intentionally left out information to make Avery look innocent and making people more sympathetic towards him. Avery’s ex-fiancee Jodi Stachowski, who was featured heavily in the series, also came out on Nancy Grace and said that Steven was not as good of a person has the series made him out to be, even going as far as calling him a monster.

“I ate two boxes of rat poison just so I could go to the hospital and get away from him and asked them to get the police to help me,” Stachowski said to Rolling Stone, “He is not innocent.”

Stachowski also claimed that Avery offered her money to make him look good while the series was being filmed. She also claimed that Avery sexually and physically assaulted her and even tied her to a bed.

Making a Murder and Steven Avery have truly entered the popular lexicon again for the first time since his trial. And even though it is highly controversial it still generates a debate and discussion. And that debate can truly bring the truth behind this case to light.
