Not Guilty? ‘Making A Murderer’ Convict Steven Avery Possibly Set Up By His Own Brothers?

"Making A Murderer" convict Steven Avery could have been set up by his own family, The Daily Beast reported.

The man in focus was initially arrested for raping Penny Beerntsen in 1985 and served 18 years in jail. He was released in 2003 after a DNA test proved that a different man was the perpetrator only to be arrested once again for murder.

The charred remains of Teresa Halbach were discovered in the Avery Salvage Yard, which was owned by the "Making A Murderer" suspect in question, Steven Avery.

Despite the seemingly damning evidence, Avery maintained that he was set up. His requests for re-investigation were also shut down by the Wisconsin Supreme Court several times.

Furthermore, Avery notified the court about pursuing third-party liability, implicating several acquaintances and even some of his family members in the 25-year-old photographer's murder.

"Several members of Avery's extended family, as well as customers, were on the Avery Salvage Yard property during the approximate time that Teresa Halbach likely was there," he reportedly stated, adding that they could be responsible for the killing.

The Daily Beast further reported that Avery accused his brother-in-law Scott Tadych (citing his violent past), his nephew Bobby Dassey, his older brother Charles Avery and his younger sibling Earl Avery.

Bustle also reported that online activists together with the hacker group, Anonymous, declared their intent "to expose corruption in the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department."

The group created a new Twitter account which targeted Sgt. Andrew Colborn and Lt. James Lenk who reportedly planted evidence that had Steven Avery and his brother Brendan Dassey thrown in jail.

Anonymous further claimed that they have access to the emails and phone calls that could implicate the said police officers.

Forbes also noted that "Making A Murderer" wasn't the first show that implied Steven Avery's innocence if not in Halbach's murder then in Beerntsen's rape.

Radiolab reportedly produced a segment called "Reasonable Doubt," which implied that the Beerntsen's family was powerful enough to use their influence to implicate Avery for the rape at least.

"The Beerenstens owned commercial enterprises that were popular and occupied a central place in the town," Avery's lawyer supposedly said. "The Beerntsen were clearly people of substance in that community."
