‘Making a Murderer’ Juror Stands By Verdict

By on January 8, 2016 in Criminal Law

A juror involved in the homicide case that spawned the popular Netflix series “Making a Murderer” says she stands by the verdict, reports the Associated Press.

“The 10-part series raises questions about whether Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey were wrongly convicted, spurring new scrutiny of the case and prompting armchair sleuths to flood online message boards and flood local officials with requests for case records,” according to the report. “The show includes comments from an excused juror in Avery’s case suggesting his conviction was based on flawed evidence.”

But one of the regular jurors told the AP by phone that she was “comfortable with the verdict we reached. The thing on Netflix was a movie, not a documentary.”
