If Zellner's appeal wins Avery a second trial and it is successful, it will be the second time he has been exonerated from prison.
In December 2020, Zellner tweeted, "Steven Avery is strong, healthy & adamant as ever about his innocence. The details of the story he tells about 10/31 never change.".
It set out to prove the innocence of Steven Avery, who spent 18 years in prison for another crime before exonerated by DNA evidence, then later convicted of the gruesome murder of Teresa Halbach. It failed.
Then there is the confession of Brendan Dassey, also convicted in Halbach’s murder, who is Avery’s nephew and Bobby’s half-brother. Zellner claims early in Season 2 that detectives “planted” the murder story in “ [Brendan] Dassey’s brain.”.
The Bobby Dassey theory revolves around a Zellner accusation that he had erased files from a computer that contained “images of Ms. Halbach, violent pornography and dead bodies of young females viewed by Bobby at relevant time periods before and after the murder of Ms. Halbach.”. We have no idea if this is true.

Avery called Halbach’s personal cell phone three times the day she was murdered, twice using *67 to obscure his identity, and only once using his own number — after she was already dead, in a transparent alibi attempt. (All of this was conveniently unmentioned in Season 1.)
Zellner, who had exonerated 19 men in the past, is no joke. Then again, she took the Avery case only after it became a national story . Before then, she ignored the family’s pleas for four years. She probably did so for very good reasons.
She contacted Avery's friend, Sandy Greenman, who arranged a meeting between the two. "I told him, 'If you're guilty, don't hire me,' " Zellner recalls. "I wasn't kidding; I tell that to all of my clients."
She wanted to become a history teacher. After one semester, she transferred to University of Missouri, where she met Robert Zellner. The couple married and moved briefly to Canada in the mid-1970s, before returning to the U.S. The couple went on to have one daughter, Anne Zellner, who now practices law in Denver at the Ryley Carlock & Applewhite, according to the firm's site.
When she was in middle school, a new student moved to Kathleen Zellner's Oklahoma hometown. The girl was the target of relentless bullying—and Zellner took it upon herself to confront the injustice head on.
