The documentary “Making a Murderer” spotlights Wisconsin man, Steve Avery, and his 18-year prison stay for a rape he didn’t commit. Two years following his release, Avery was convicted in the murder of a young photographer. CNN reports the documentary does not reveal the comprehensive details that support Avery’s conviction, thereby instilling reasonable doubt in Avery’s guilt. Consequently, more than 430,000 people signed a petition to the Obama administration, seeking a pardon for Avery. The president, however, has the power to pardon criminals in federal court, not state courts. Avery’s best option for his release is to seek an appeal for his conviction.
