OT: Making A Murderer on Netflix

[JBone84]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how Brendan's post-conviction lawyers get paid for all that work?

And similarly but on a much larger scale, how Stephen's post-conviction lawyer (Zellner) is getting paid? Averys have no money.

I imagine Netflix is paying the producers, and they have to pay the lawyers? But that doesn't seem like it could be enough to cover their fees and costs.

Zellner's Twitter feed is pretty entertaining, by the way.

I believe Zellner is working pro bono if I'm not mistaken.

She still has to pay all these assistants, experts, and labs to do all this testing. That's even a bigger deal than donating your own personal time.

For the publicity alone?
Or you think Netflix chips in?

Does anyone else find it disturbing that instead of him having a fair trial or being found innocent, that they think he needs to stay in prison? I realize that it's hard on the family having to deal with it all again, but one would think they want the right person convicted. It's not fair to Avery and his family either if he has been falsely accused.

If Avery is innocent, not only has the State of Wisconsin (and Manitowoc County) done a great injustice to Stephen Avery, Brendan Dassey, and family (not to mention the taxpayers) but also to the Halbach family in that the real murderer was never even sought out to be brought to justice. The State appears to have taken the path of least resistance (and violated many laws in the process), allowing the murderer to go free.

They made Avery the prime suspect from the beginning so they wouldn’t have to pay up for their first **** up.

And everytime I hear that slimeball Kraft talk, I wanna reach through the TV and punch him.

Publicity and they most likely take a large chunk of the lawsuit money that they get when she gets these convictions thrown out.

Kratz? That guy is disgusting on many fronts. Zellner refers to him as "Sweaty" frequently, which is appropriately descriptive.

Kratz holding the press conference at the 7th Circuit was just crazy too, guy can't even be involved in the case anymore but just wants to keep making it about him, just like his pre-trial press conference.

He's got a book to sell. Get that bread.

Aside from the murder obviously, Kratz is the second most disgusting part of this whole saga.

The guy goes out of his way to get in front of a camera every chance he gets. He is clearly in it for fame and notoriety. Justice for Teresa is just a noble cause to hide behind.

That's what it sounded like to me. She wins her fair share of these cases and gets a chunk of the millions of dollars paid out to the falsely accused that she gets out of prison.

Yes Krantz, stupid spellcheck.

And she stated in the intro that she doesn't take every case. She said that she looks into every case and only takes a case if she knows there is a good chance the individual innocent.

Did you all realize that Avery was found Not Guilty of of disposing of Halbach’s body in a burn pit on his property? I'd never heard that until reading the article below.

And this:

Bobby Dassey’s family also jokingly referred to Halbach as his girlfriend because of the attention he paid her. Halbach visited the Avery property five times in the summer of 2005. He was able to describe exactly what she was wearing after she died, which Zellner said is unusual.

“He describes her clothing in detail. How is an 18-year-old boy able to do that?” Zellner told Newsweek. “He's describing her jacket and the length of it and the colors of things. It's really unusual. I have four brothers, four younger brothers. They're not gonna be able — that's just so unusual that he was doing that.”

I will say that I am both strangely attracted to and scared of Kathleen Zellner
