Crowdsourced Making A Murderer trial transcripts are now available

Was Steven Avery, a man already wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for sexual assault, railroaded by the Wisconsin legal system on charges of rape and murder back in 2005? Did Making A Murderer, the popular Netflix documentary series about his case, withhold crucial, damning evidence against Avery in order to better make its case for his innocence? These are just some of the questions that have ignited the imaginations of amateur criminologists across the nation. In the weeks since the show debuted in December, Making A Murderer fans have been doing their own investigations into the Steven Avery case and the murder of Teresa Halbach. And now, Uproxx is reporting that these efforts have yielded some dividends. As a result of an ongoing FundAnything campaign, transcripts of Avery’s 27-day trial are now available at a site called StevenAveryCase.org. Visitors to the site can, at their leisure, search through PDFs of trial transcripts. The initial success of this campaign can be partially attributed to the active Making A Murderer subreddit.
