Prosecutor Ken Kratz, the lead lawyer who went up against Steven Avery during his rape and murder trial back in 2005, claimed that the Netflix Series "Making a Murderer" left out key evidence that proved the alleged murderer is guilty.
On "Good Morning America," Kratz revealed that Avery called Teresa Halbach's job and requested for her specifically to photograph the vehicle he was selling. Halbach, the woman who was allegedly raped and brutally killed by Avery on his Wisconsin property in 2005, was a freelance photographer working for AutoTrader.
Kratz also said that Avery called the victim's mobile phone three times using the *67 feature twice, which blocks a caller's number from showing up on ID.
"This wasn't a documentary at all. This was a defense piece that was generated by and for Steven Avery by his defense team. It wasn't until Netflix decided to repackage this as a documentary that both sides were invited to participated," the prosecutor asserted. He pointed out that evidence included in the series was handpicked and the other incriminating evidence ignored to make Avery look like he was set up by the local police authorities of Wisconsin.
Kraz continued, "My biggest concern about this whole process was their decision then to call it a documentary. This docudrama, I think it's called, itself is not going to form a basis of a new trial. It doesn't matter how much attention it receives, unless there's a legal challenge that comes forth, there shouldn't be a reason for a new trial."
"Making a Murderer" filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi responded by exposing that the jurors during the trial "feared for their personal safety" hence they voted against Avery's innocence. Demos and Ricciardi said they were contacted by a juror who told them the verdicts in Avery's trial were a "compromise."
