"A judge on Tuesday denied a motion for a new trial in the case of
Steven Avery, who was convicted in the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach. Sheboygan
County Judge Angela Sutkiewicz, who is overseeing the case, filed the
six-page written decision in Manitowoc County court. In
early June, Avery's attorney, Kathleen Zellner, filed a motion seeking a
new trial. She claimed his conviction in the 2005 murder was based on
planted evidence and false testimony. Avery
and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, were convicted in Halbach's murder. The
men have maintained their innocence, and Dassey’s case was heard last
week by the full
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The
cases against the two men were featured in the 2015 Neflix docu-series
"Making a Murderer" and have since gained international attention. This story will be updated.
