Wrecking Crew: Demolishing The Case Against Steven Avery

In 2016-17 while working for the USA TODAY NETWORKs Wisconsin Investigative Team author John Ferak wrote dozens of articles examining the murder case against Steven Avery who had already beat one wrongful conviction only to be charged with the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005. The case became the wildly successful Netflix Making A Murderer documentary.In WRECKING CREW: Demolishing The Case Against Steven Avery Ferak lays out in exacting detail the post-conviction strategy of Kathleen Zellner the high-profile high-octane lawyer to free Avery. To write this book Zellner perhaps Americas most successful wrongful conviction attorney gave Ferak unique access to the exhaustive pro bono efforts she and her small suburban Chicago law firm dedicated for a man she believes to be a victim of an unscrupulous justice system in Manitowoc County.
