Steven Avery has accused his own brother, Earl Avery, of murdering Teresa Halbach, during an exclusive interview with Access Hollywood this week, his brother said.
During one of Earl Averyâs first on-camera interviews he said while he hasnât seen Steven in more than a decade, he talked with him via telephone for the first time in eight years, last week.
During that call Steven allegedly told Earl his new lawyers told him to say Earl killed Teresa Halbach, Earl says.
Earl also said that he believes Steven Avery may be granted a new trial in Wausau.
âEverybody in Manitowoc County is against us,â he said.
As previously reported by Action 2 News, Avery has secured new legal counsel, Kathleen Zellner, in the Chicago area.
Zellner recently said, âSince 2007 there have been significant advances in forensic testing,â and claims new information will be soon brought to light about latest Averyâs appeal.
Key players in the Steven Avery murder trial have received more recent attention after the release of the Netflix Series âMaking a Murderer.â
Earl says he gets about 30 telephone calls a day from people who either hang up, or call him a murderer.
Alan Avery, Stevenâs father, was also interviewed and said Stevenâs mental state isnât good.
âYouâre locked up in a cage, itâs like one of my rabbits,â he said.
I’m just watching this now on Netflix and now reading/watching some of the links provided here.
I do not believe anyone in the Manitowoc county, not a single one of them. The prosecutor in this is not believable to me, at all. Do I think they had reason to overlook other potential suspects? Yes I do. Did they do their best to pin this on Steve Avery? Yep
What they did to the nephew is deplorable.
Look, I have family up in that area, I know people who are exactly like this Avery family. To the people who say they are ‘white trash’, I’d love to sit down with them and educate them on how misguided those comments are.
I couldn’t say if Steve in fact did kill this woman, but I can say that the case as presented, no just in the documentary but other ‘evidence’ as well, do NOT have me convinced in the least. Small town justice at it’s best, sigh.
