Read our privacy policy The Wisconsin Supreme Court has rejected a request by Steven Avery to review his conviction for killing a young photographer in 2005, a case that became the focus of a popular Netflix series “Making a Murderer.” Avery has been fighting unsuccessfully for years to have his conviction overturned. Mr. Avery has many options including proceeding to the U.S Supreme Court, and then federal district," Avery's attorney, Kathleen Zellner said in a statement. "Since the appellate court only ruled on 50% of the issues raised we will be filing a new petition with the circuit court at the appropriate time.” The case gained widespread attention in 2015 after Netflix aired “Making a Murderer,” a series whose creators raised questions about the convictions.
