Making A Murderer, Steven Avery Fans Take Matters Into Their Own Hands To Find Justice

In fact, they have raised nearly $4ooo in crowd funding and are carefully pouring over evidence they believe will exonerate the convicted man. Are you convinced of his innocence enough to go through the evidence yourself?

Forget streaming, fans of “Making a Murderer” have a new way to play detective online.

Those sucked into the Netflix hit can now dig through all the transcripts from Steven Avery’s trial on the internet.

A group of sleuthing Redditors organized a crowdfunding campaign on fundanything.com and have raised $3,750 in ten days.

The money was used to purchase the transcripts from Avery’s 27 day-long trial in 2007.

THE EVIDENCE MISSING FROM “MAKING A MURDERER

Avery, the subject of “Making a Murderer” was found guilty of the 2005 murder of 25-year-old Teresa Halbach in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.

His conviction came two years after wrongfully serving 18 years for attempted murder and his story has been a binge-watching frenzy for viewers since the docu-series premiered last month on Netflix.

Now true-crime aficionados can continue to debate Avery’s innocence with the digital files of his trial, with days spanning from 12 to 300 pages of notes on stevenaverycase.org.

Avery’s story was documented on Netflix last month in the hit series”Making a Murderer.”

The online publication of the files comes as media outlets and determined viewers have flooded the Manitowoc County clerks with requests.

Lynn Zigmunt, a clerk of the circuit court in the county, told WBAY that the office had to make their staffer full-time to meet the number of orders.

An order for the all the files on Avery would run at about $9,000, with a copy of one printed case file at $1.25, while pages from the trial cost $.50 a page.

With over 100 contributions, the group of Redditors, led by user named Skipp Todd, met their initial goal of $2,700 on Tuesday and have since posted all the documents from the jury trial.

“Like many others, we became aware of and interested in the Steven Avery case after seeing the very popular Netflix series Making a Murderer, and we wanted to know more about what really happened in the trial,” the group wrote on the website.

However, many files still remain to be seen on the digital Steven Avery case file library.

The site hopes to raise more money to add additional files to the Avery digital library of case files.

The site hopes to raise more money to add additional files to the Avery digital library of case files.

The group said they hope to continue to go beyond their $2,700 goal and purchase files on motions, evidence exhibits and files from hearings that took place before and after the jury trial.

The group is looking at about an additional $5,000 to raise and more time. Most of the remaining documents are only available in hard copy and will have to be digitized.

Any leftover money, the group said, will be donated to the Innocence Project.
