His new lawyer revealed that this was her third visit, and also explained, “SA thrilled about chance of new forensic testing – like innocent men always are”.

In a handwritten letter released through Twitter, Avery is still sticking to his guns as he maintained he’s innocent for killing Halbach.
New scientific testing is what Steven’s new defense attorney, Kathleen Zellner, is counting on as she tackles the case.
Brendan Dassey, Avery’s nephew and co-defendant, told police a prolonged and bloody murder had taken place at the house.

In case it needs to be said, nobody should ever be jailed for a crime they didn’t commit and the presumption of innocence is paramount to a functioning justice system.
