Making a Murderer - Investigators Roundtable Break Down the Case
Netflix’ MAKING A MURDER follows Steven Avery-a Wisconsin man falsely convicted of rape and exonerated 18 years later. Two years after his release he was arrested for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. In this episode of Crime Time our expert panel (retired FBI S.S.A. Jim Clemente, neuroscientist Dr. James Fallon and former prosecutor Francey Hakes) debate conspiracy theories, the evidence, the jury pool and discuss whether or not the successful conviction of Steven Avery was the result of a conspiracy between the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s department or simply a case of judicial mistakes in this impassioned Crime Time hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
