“Making a Murderer” subject Steven Avery has been denied a new trial by Sheboygan County Circuit Court judge Angela Sutkiewicz.
According to the Post-Crescent, Avery’s attorneys sought to supplement the record with a CD they argued contains “exculpatory, material evidence” that was reportedly only disclosed to them in April. Avery’s attorney, Kathleen Zellner, argued that the state failed to disclose the disc and violated his right to a fair trial, therefore arguing for a new trial.
However, Judge Sukiewicz ruled on Thursday that his attorney’s failed to prove that the state suppressed the CD and that the defense had the same information on other CDs that it had previously received.
