June 8 (UPI) -- The attorney for Making a Murderer subject Steven Avery filed a motion for a new trial in a Wisconsin court, arguing his 2007 murder conviction was based on planted evidence and false testimony.
Avery and Brendan Dassey, his nephew, were found guilty in the 2005 murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. The case was the subject of a Netflix television documentary, Making a Murderer. Avery and Dassey have maintained their innocence of the crime.
