Steven Avery was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, among other crimes in the 2005 killing of Teresa Halbach after a lengthy and controversial trial that took place in Manitowoc County in Wisconsin.
The case gained national attention after the Netflix series 'Making a Murderer' depicted Avery's conviction and appeal process.
Avery has attempted to unsuccessfully appeal his conviction several times. He is currently serving a life sentence in the Waupon Correctional Institution.
