Most recently, on March 10, a federal judge ruled in favor of Netflix and "Making a Murderer" filmmakers that the docuseries' portrayal of a former Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office detective did not qualify as defamation.
Avery, now 60, served 18 years in prison after he was falsely convicted of a crime he didn't commit. In 2003, he was exonerated after DNA evidence identified the real perpetrator. But just two years later, Avery was arrested and charged with crimes in connection with the murder of 25-year-old Teresa Halbach. Dassey was charged as well for aiding his uncle in Halbach's sexual assault and murder.
The case received international attention after the release of Netflix's "Making a Murderer" in 2015. The series has two seasons, both 10 episodes long, detailing the investigation, trial, aftermath and postconviction proceedings.
On Oct. 31, 2005, 25-year-old Teresa Halbach went missing. A photographer for Auto Trader magazine, Halbach's last assignment before her disappearance was at Avery's Auto Salvage, the Avery family's business in Two Rivers.
At the time of Halbach's disappearance, Avery was the plaintiff in a $36 million civil lawsuit against Manitowoc County and former county officials for his 18-year sentence for his false conviction. When he was 23, Avery was convicted of the 1985 sexual assault of a woman jogging along Lake Michigan and sentenced to 32 years in prison. Attempts to overturn his conviction failed in 1987 and 1996.
Then, in 2002, a judge granted the Wisconsin Innocence Project permission to conduct DNA testing that was not available at the time of the 1985 rape. DNA testing pinned the crime on Gregory Allen, a man who was then serving a 60-year sentence for another rape in Brown County. In 2003, after 18 years in prison, Avery walked free.
Evidence against Avery included burned bone fragments in a fire pit on Avery's property, Avery's and Halbach's blood in Halbach's vehicle, remnants of a camera and electronic devices in a burn barrel, a bullet in Avery's garage with Halbach's DNA, and the key to Halbach's vehicle in Avery's bedroom with Avery's DNA on it. Despite the physical evidence, Avery has always maintained his innocence.
Dassey, on the other hand, told investigators in an interview that he sexually assaulted Halbach, was present when Avery killed her, and then helped burn her body and belongings. Dassey later recanted this confession.
Attorneys for Dassey point out that as a teen with intellectual disability, Dassey was highly susceptible to suggestion. Despite a lack of physical evidence tying Dassey to the crime, a jury found him guilty after a nine-day trial in April 2005. He was sentenced to life in prison, with parole eligibility in 2048.
Avery's most recent motion for post-conviction relief, filed in August 2022, argues another man could have killed Halbach. His attorney, Kathleen Zellner, named the alternate suspect in the appeal and argues the suspect framed Avery by leaving the key to Halbach's vehicle on Avery's property.
In July 2021, a state appellate court affirmed Avery's conviction and said multiple motions filed in Avery's appeal "are insufficient on their face to entitle him to a hearing and that the circuit court did not erroneously exercise its discretion in denying the motions to vacate and for reconsideration."
Prosecutors appealed Duffin's ruling, and a three-judge panel of the Seventh Circuit court affirmed the decision 2-1 in June 2017. Prosecutors then sought review by the full Seventh Circuit court, which upheld Dassey's conviction in a 4-3 vote.

Controlling your apps through Android Auto does not increase the amount of data they use. For example, streaming music for one hour through Android Auto uses the same data as one hour of music streaming normally on your Android smartphone.
When you connect your smartphone to run Android Auto, your battery receives power through your vehicle's USB port. If your smartphone requires more power than the USB connection can give it, you may notice some battery drain. If your smartphone is losing battery when connected, consider upgrading your USB cable or close apps that are using a lot of power.
If you need to use your smartphone for something you can't control through Android Auto, you'll need to unplug the smartphone from the USB cable. For your safety, do not use your smartphone for features you can't access through Android Auto while you're driving.
When using the Uconnect Voice Recognition button for Android Auto, make sure that you hold it down until you hear the Android system beep. A short press will generally take you out of Android Auto and back into the Uconnect system.
In most Android Auto-compatible vehicles, the location of the smartphone is not important. The GPS location used by Android Auto apps comes from the GPS in the vehicle, not just the GPS in the smartphone.
Go to the Apps icon -> Settings -> scroll to Phone Settings -> select Paired Phones and Audio Devices -> Select Smartphone Display and Options -> You then have the ability to switch between the phones paired and listed.
