I was in law school at UW (wisconsin) when he was originally freed and had friends who helped work on his Innocence Project case. I was then an attorney at the Wisconsin DOJ (the AG's office) when he was arrested and subsequently convicted for murder. I am definitely interested in watching this because in the AG's office at the time, this was considered to be a pretty cut and dried case - Mr. Avery had a pretty long and bad rap sheet including torturing animals, domestic violence, and stalking; and the gossip was that he thought he sort of had a get out of jail free card because he had been wrongly convicted before. But I have also worked as a public defender so I know that cops and prosecutors can be so set on convictions that small things like truth and due process are easily brushed aside.
