    About this ebook

    It’s time to set the record straight about Steven Avery.

    The Netflix series Making a Murderer was a runaway hit, with over 19 million US viewers in the first 35 days. The series left many with the opinion that Steven Avery, a man falsely imprisoned for almost 20 years on a previous, unrelated assault charge, had been framed by a corrupt police force and district attorney’s office for the murder of a young photographer. Viewers were outraged, and hundreds of thousands demanded a pardon for Avery. The chief villain of the series? Ken Kratz, the special prosecutor who headed the investigation and trial. Kratz’s later misdeedsprescription drug abuse and sexual harassmentonly cemented belief in his corruption.

    This book tells you what Making a Murderer didn’t.

    While indignation at the injustice of his first imprisonment makes it tempting to believe in his innocence, Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery and What Making a Murderer Gets Wrong and the evidence shared insideexamined thoroughly and dispassionatelyprove that, in this case, the criminal justice system worked just as it should.

    With Avery, Ken Kratz puts doubts about Steven Avery’s guilt to rest. In this exclu- sive insider’s look into the controversial case, Kratz lets the evidence tell the story, sharing details and insights unknown to the public. He reveals the facts Making a Murderer conveniently left out and then candidly addresses the aftermathopenly discussing, for the first time, his own struggle with addiction that led him to lose everything.

    Avery systematically erases the uncertainties introduced by the Netflix series, confirming, once and for all, that Steven Avery is guilty of the murder of Teresa Halbach.

      Ok but lots of lies and distortions by a biased writer
    • 1/5
      Is zero stars an option? This book is self righteous, whiny and excuse- filled. It offers no real insights into the Steven Avery case, just bitterness. After watching Making a Murderer I was hoping to learn the other side of the story. All I got was a childish rant.

      Ken Kratz is the most biased, morally reprehensible person I have ever heard open their mouth. Disappointing that he chooses to inflict pain after all this time. Boooooo

      This book shows the other side of the popular Netflix's documentary "Making a Murderer" by the hand of the special fiscal of the case Ken Ktatz. Even if after reading the book someone still could habe doubts about Steven Avery guilty ots hard to avoid the fact that the producers of the documetary were very crooked for avoiding very important things about the trial. In few words, totally recomended as complementary info for those MaM fans.
    • 5/5
      Excellent! After watching Making a Murderer which is albeit interesting, but so obviously biased toward believing Avery is innocent, It’s nice to have a voice of reason in Kratz bringing us back to reality.
