Convicting A Murderer is set to send shockwaves around the world as it provides an alternative view and update of Steven Avery’s case. Avery’s first-degree murder conviction for the homicide of Teresa Halbach gained worldwide attention following Netflix’s Making A Murderer and he’s now gained global support after the docu-series.
