Why this petition matters

There is a documentary series on Netflix called "Making a Murderer". After viewing it, I am outraged with the injustices which have been allowed to compound and left unchecked in the case of Steven Avery of Manitowoc County in Wisconsin, U.S.A. Avery's unconstitutional mistreatment at the hands of corrupt local law enforcement is completely unacceptable and is an abomination of due process.

Steven Avery should be exonerated at once, and the Manitowoc County officials complicit in his two false imprisonments should be held accountable to the highest extent of the U.S. criminal and civil justice systems.

November 2022 Addition: 

By signing this petition, we express our full support for Steven Avery’s innocence—a Wisconsin man who has been wrongfully convicted on two separate occasions spanning over 35 years— and demand that Mr. Avery be granted an order, by a judicial officer, for his immediate release pending appeal.
