Kratz told Milwaukee’s ABC affiliate WBAY over the weekend that he’s doing a book on the case “because the one voice forgotten to this point is Teresa Halbach”.

Kathleen Zellner, Avery’s latest attorney, released a full letter on Sunday that was sent from Kratz’s office to Avery back in September.
Zellner, a Chicago-based lawyer, slammed the prosecution in Avery’s murder trial as she informed the public that she will stick with Avery until the court rules that he’s not guilty of murdering Teresa Halbach. According to the Wisconsin Post-Crescent, Zellner’s tweets about Avery keep his name in the news.
Netflix Netflix documentary “Making A Murderer”, filmed over a 10-year period, follows the real-life case of Steven Avery of Wisconsin.
In the letter, Kratz laments that Avery – who has maintained his innocence in the murder – wouldn’t tell Kratz his “whole truthful story”.
“I thought you were interested in being honest about what happened and finally telling the whole story to someone”.
With all the attention that shows receive these days, none perhaps have been an instant success as much as the recently aired Netflix Original, Making A Murderer, which premiered in mid-December.
“Unfortunately, you only want to continue your nonsense about being set up”.
Avery, of Manitowoc County, Wisc., served 18 years in prison for a 1985 sexual assault he didn’t commit.
In 2010, Kratz became embroiled in a scandal after sending “inappropriate” text messages to a 25-year-old domestic abuse victim – while prosecuting her former boyfriend. He was exonerated in 2003, then arrested in 2005 for the murder of Teresa Halbach.

Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that a juror in the case had ties to the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department – one of many conflicts of interest – and possible instances of corruption – in Avery’s trial. She says, “We’re just here, you know, for Brendan and Steve and that we’re just here to say hey we’re here to support you and you know we’re looking out for ya”. “Admit to this heinous crime that I helped convict you of so that I can tell your side of the story and make millions from it while you rot in the jail cell I put you in”.
