7 things we learned from Kathleen Zellner’s Making A Murderer Q&A
Steven Avery's tenacious lawyer cleared up some questions we were left with after Making A Murderer, part two via Twitter.
1. Teresa Halbach’s ex-boyfriend had no alibi
Or rather, he may have done but nobody bothered to ask him for one. “Just another example of how sloppy the initial investigation was,” says Zellner.
#AskZellner @MakingAMurderer No, he was never asked for an alibi. Just another example of how sloppy the initial investigation was. https://t.co/VnDrFMDw5p

2. Cell phone pings placed Bobby Dassey in a different location to his testimony
#AskZellner @MakingAMurderer We have been able to determine his location through cell phone pings, and he was not at the location he claimed to be. https://t.co/0WTiASn11B

3. Zellner isn’t giving up any time soon
The next significant movement in Steven Avery’s case will be on December 20 when Zellner files her brief with the Wisconsin Appellate Court.
#AskZellner @MakingAMurderer We file our brief with the Wisconsin Appellate Court on December 20th. https://t.co/kU6LUQ11pQ

4. Lily Allen is a fan!
Check her out, wading in on the #AskZellner Q&A below.
#AskZellner @MakingAMurderer We requested the headlight for testing from the State. They disagreed that it was relevant. That is an issue that is pending before the Wisconsin Appellate Court. We would test the headlight for any substance of interest. You’re not missing a thing! https://t.co/IuW6Wa7MRc

5. They still haven’t been able to test that parking light
We requested the parking light. The State objected. That's an issue on appeal. Bobby's vehicle has been crushed. @MakingAMurderer #AskZellner https://t.co/vW6UBL4ZXI

6. Bobby Dassey may have been offered a deal in order to talk
Otherwise why would he not have been locked up for all the pornographic images of young girls, bestiality and tortured women on his computer?
#AskZellner @MakingAMurderer Good question. Remember he was the State's star witness. Perhaps he was pressured into that with threats of prosecution. https://t.co/YqTDRhI9VX

7. They found eight sets of fingerprints in Teresa’s car
And not one could be linked to Brendan or Steven.
#AskZellner @MakingAMurderer Yes, there were eight sets of latent prints that were unidentified. However, the prints ruled out Steven and Brendan. https://t.co/pxrUiX19f7
