Avery - Ken Kratz

Descriere

Kratz, the special prosecutor who headed the investigation and prosecution ofSteven Avery (made famous by the hit Netflix series Making a Murderer), demonstrates how the series leaves out critical evidence, including bombshellfacts known only to him. nIt's time to set the record straight about Steven Avery. nThe 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 misdeeds--prescription drug abuse and sexual harassment--only cemented belief in his corruption. n nThis book tells you what Making a Murderer didn't. n nWhile 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 inside--examined thoroughly and dispassionately--prove that, in this case, the criminal justice system worked just as it should. n nWith 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 aftermath--openly discussing, for the first time, his own struggle with addiction that led him to lose everything. n nAvery 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. nn
