A new book is attempting to investigate the truth behind the Steven Avery case presented in Netflix's Making a Murderer.

Steven Avery's Brother Talks Night Of Teresa Halbach's Death

Columnist Jessica McBride and her team at OnMilwaukee.com have released a new book called Rush to Judgment, which reportedly "delves into the full evidence" behind the Avery case.

McBride spoke with WBAY (local ABC affiliate in Wisconsin) about how the docuseries did not present the whole truth in the criminal prosecution of Avery for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach.

"When I started looking into the case file for OnMilwaukee.com, I was rather shocked to see how much the documentary distorted things," McBride said.

Rush to Judgment is an attempt at providing "a fuller view of the evidence, and I think it will lead people to a different conclusion than Netflix did," she said.

One of the biggest points they uncover is the blood vial with a hole in it, which Avery's defense team used as evidence of possible corruption.

"The infamous hole in the blood vial? A prison nurse said she put it there," McBride revealed. "And, I talked to national experts who say such holes are not only common, they are how the blood gets into the vial. I was first to report this that I know of, for OnMilwaukee, and turned it into a full chapter."

The book also delves into the case of Halbach's voicemail messages possibly being deleted the day before she was reported missing.

"Defense attorney [Jerome] Buting told Rolling Stone that someone accessed Halbach's voicemails the day before she was reported missing. However, this was also not proven and there was no evidence for it. The wireless expert who testified said he couldn't tell when the voicemails were accessed, just when they were left," McBride noted.

Rush to Judgment: The Unfiltered Story of Steven Avery is available on Kindle now.
