“When Netflix released their series “Making a Murderer,” they asked viewers to decide whether Wisconsin inmate Steven Avery was wrongfully convicted of murder. Now more than 200,000 people have.

A “Free Steven Avery” petition on Change.org has garnered the support of those hundreds of thousands of fans following the 10-part documentary series’ release last month.

The 53-year-old is currently serving a life sentence for a 2007 murder conviction, one he and his supporters claim he was framed for by local Manitowoc County authorities. That conviction follows him serving 18 years behind bars for another crime which DNA evidence later ruled he did not commit.”
