Steven Avery, the subject of the Netflix documentary “Making a Murderer,” filed several motions Monday before the Wisconsin Court of Appeals seeking to be released on bond and making a variety of due process allegations, reports WBAY TV in Green Bay, Wisc.

He also claims a juror influenced and intimidated other jurors into voting guilty.
