An in-depth true crime study of the case made famous in Netflixâs Making a Murderer, the case against Steven Avery, and the work to free him. Updated Fifth Anniversary Edition Including Exclusive Interview with Steven Avery In 2016â17, while working for the USA Today Networkâs Wisconsin Investigative Team, author John Ferak wrote dozens of articles examining the murder case against Steven Avery, who had already beaten one wrongful conviction only to be charged again with the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005. This case captured global attention through the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer. In this anniversary edition of Wrecking Crew: Demolishing the Case Against Steven Avery, Ferak not only lays out in meticulous detail the post-conviction strategy of Kathleen Zellner, the high-profile, high-octane lawyer fighting to free Avery but also includes a new âFive Years Laterâ section. This update provides fresh insights and developments in Averyâs ongoing legal battle. Additionally, this special edition features an exclusive epilogue: a November 2023 interview with Steven Avery. For this book, Zellner, arguably Americaâs most successful wrongful conviction attorney, granted Ferak unprecedented access to the exhaustive pro bono efforts she and her small suburban Chicago law firm have invested in a man she believes to be wrongfully ensnared by Manitowoc Countyâs unscrupulous justice system. This anniversary edition offers new revelations and a comprehensive look at a case that continues to stir public debate and demand justice.
