He and Lori Mathiesen, who divorced in 1988, had four children, People noted. “It has been a hard road getting to this point in our lives but we are very happy”, she wrote. “I just want to be happy and enjoy my life, I think I did enough time”. “Additionally, this should provide the State with time to determine which items are covered by the April 4, 2007, Preservation of Blood Evidence and Independent Defense Testing Order entered by Judge Patrick L. Willis at the conclusion of Defendant’s trial”, the letter stated.
Meanwhile, Avery’s nephew Brendan Dassey is asking to be released from prison while the state appeals a judge’s ruling overturning his homicide conviction in the death of Halbach.
