Fans of Making A Murderer are familiar with the crack legal team of Dean Strang and Jerry Buting, the two lawyers who fought tirelessly for Steven Avery during his seven week murder trial.
On Friday, Bushnell confirmed her role in the Avery case but declined to comment on it.
The announcement concluded with, “The Zellner Law Firm is looking forward to adding Mr. Avery to its long list of wrongful conviction exonerations”. Ms. Zellner’s firm will be assisted by local Wisconsin counsel Tricia Bushnell.
The Zellner law firm said Bushnell would assist the firm in Wisconsin, where Avery was convicted of the 2005 murder of a young photographer.
Zellner previously represented Ryan Ferguson, a man from Missouri that was released from prison after a decade for being wrongfully convicted of murder. He is now serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

The petitions didn’t work out so maybe a new defense team can: A Chicago lawyer announced that she will represent Steven Avery along with the legal director of the Midwest Innocence Project.
