Making a Murderer: Eighteen Years Lost

The highly acclaimed Netflix original documentary series Making a Murderer has riveted millions of armchair sleuths and ignited a grassroots movement around the plight of its principle character - Steven Avery. Sent to prison for a sexual assault against which he unwaveringly protested his innocence, he was later freed based on DNA evidence after serving 18 arduous years of his sentence. Law enforcement, having suffered the embarrassment of a botched case, is even more displeased when Avery decides to file a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Manitowok County, Wisconsin in retaliation for his unlawful imprisonment. But on the eve of this costly legal action, police arrest him once again. This time, the charge is murder. Is Avery innocent of this crime as well - as he so vehemently claims - and do these new charges indicate a frame-up by the shamed police force? Or is he really the monster that law enforcement, and many weary residents throughout his small town, believe him to be?
