Steven Avery's new attorney is gathering the evidence to support her claim that the Wisconsin native is totally innocent in the murder of Teresa Halbach.

Kathleen Zellner, who is now defending Avery amid the continued buzz of Netflix's docuseries Making a Murderer, has been tweeting updates regarding her case. One of the more encouraging tweets from Friday suggests Avery has newfound hope of potential exoneration:

Zellner also tweeted about the evidence surrounding the case not exactly adding up in a consistent way with Avery's behavior.

Why Was Steven Avery's Story Chosen For 'Making a Murderer'?

The attorney previously spoke with Crime Time about "a lot of other suspects" who could have done the crime and that the investigation into Haibach's life was not thorough enough.

"It had all of the hallmarks of a wrongful conviction case and then when I met him, I realized in the time I spent with him in 15 or 20 hours, I absolutely don't believe he committed this murder," Zellner said.

She also discussed why she took this case, noting the alleged police misconduct present in the Manitowoc criminal justice system.

"I selected the Avery case because I think that there was very blatant police misconduct in planting evidence and I think there is also a discrimination against the Avery family because of a perception that they were dispensable," she said.

Making a Murderer is currently available to stream in full on Netflix.
