More than 400,000 people have signed a petition demanding Steven Avery’s release from prison, following his conviction for the murder of Teresa Halbach. The bad news for Avery is that in the absence of DNA evidence proving someone else committed the murder, it is immensely difficult to get a conviction overturned when all appeals have been exhausted. Those who believe in Avery’s innocence will be haunted by the scene in the final episode of Making a Murderer, in which his highly competent team of lawyers sits around a table utterly defeated. If EDTA can be proven to be present in the samples of Avery’s blood found in the victim’s vehicle, it would significantly strengthen the defence’s argument that evidence was planted by police as it would show the blood sample had been kept in a test tube.
