About this listen

An insider exposes the shocking facts deliberately left out of the hit Netflix series Making a Murderer - and argues persuasively that Steven Avery was rightfully convicted in the 2005 killing of Teresa Halbach.

After serving eighteen years for a crime he didn't commit, Steven Avery was freed - and filed a thirty-six-million-dollar lawsuit against Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. But before the suit could be settled, Avery was arrested again - this time for the brutal murder of Teresa Halbach - and, through the office of a special prosecutor, convicted once more.

When the saga exploded onto the public consciousness with the airing of Making a Murderer, Michael Griesbach, a prosecutor and member of Wisconsin's Innocence Project who had been instrumental in Avery's 2003 exoneration, was targeted on social media, threatened - and plagued by doubt. Now, in this suspenseful, thorough narrative, he recounts his own re-examination of the evidence in light of the whirlwind of controversy stirred up by the blockbuster true-crime series.

As Griesbach carefully reviews allegations of tampering and planted evidence, the confession by Avery's developmentally disabled nephew, Brendan Dassey, and statements by Avery's former girlfriend Jodi Stachowski, previously sealed documents deemed inadmissible at trial by Judge Patrick L. Willis - and a little-known, plausible alternate suspect - Griesbach shows how the filmmakers' agenda, the accused man's dramatic backstory, and sensational media coverage have clouded the truth about Steven Avery.

Now as Avery's defense counsel files an appeal and prepares to do battle in the courtroom once more, Griesbach fights to set the record straight, determined that evidence should be followed where it leads and justice should be served - for as surely as our legal system should not send an innocent man to prison, neither should it let a guilty man walk free.

A well presented book in all aspects. A MUST READ!

Wow! I couldn't remove my headphones! I have read and studied TRUE crime for 3 defeat edges, so THIS BOOK was a must read for me. The Steven Avery case captivated millions of people, yet it was an unsettling documentary! Also, extraordinarily biased, as you will learn when you delve into this book. This brilliantly laid out book is so well written. It is carefully.presented in a way that you just can't stop listening! A obvious amount of time and endless research is detailed here...and the MISSING FACTS presented in this book are unbelievably riveting. I believe that we all had one or more unanswered questions about the Avery Case, after viewing Making A Murderer on Netflix. Thanks to this author, we now have
answers to so many parts of the case that we didn't even know about!!!
The narrator is MAGNIFICENT and he makes this an effortless, enjoyable listening experience. Well done!
I highly recommend this book and will now be looking for books narrated by this man. Brilliant!!!

ANOTHER COVER OF FOR HIM SELF AND FOR THE FELLOW POLICE

A police officer from a crooked Manitowoc county is wasting people time to cover his fellow dishonest police officers who farmed two innocent people because to not sue the county for their first wrongful conviction in 1985. Read the boob ‘Wrecking Crew’ by John Ferak there is many things you have to learn about the the Sheriff. Ricky Hochstetler was killed by drunk police officer and who later became in charge of the case. There are many more important things about the police in the book i strongly recommend to read. #FreeStevenAvery #FreeBrendenDassey
