The Netflix original documentary series "Making A Murderer," tells the story of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man who was wrongly accused and convicted of rape. In 2003, Avery was exonerated after serving 18 years in prison when DNA testing proved that he had not committed the crime. After his release, a civil lawsuit was filed against Manitowoc County for his wrongful arrest. Shortly after, Teresa Halbach, last seen taking photographs on the Avery property, is reported missing. Steven Avery is accused of murdering her and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, is named as an accomplice.

The Netflix series has stirred up an overwhelming response. People and celebrities alike are expressing their opinions on whether or not Steven Avery is guilty. Debates from both sides have left people unable to accurately and definitely decide whether or not Avery was responsible for the murder of Teresa Halbach. The mystery lies within the little amount of evidence that doesn't really seem to add up either for or against Steven Avery.

In the process of proving his innocence, the series highlights the corruption and injustices that are prevalent in the criminal justice system. Manitowoc County, in particular, has felt the wrath of this documentary. Throughout the series, the careless and questionable procedures taken by the members of the police department are placed in the limelight. Now this is not to say that every police department in the country is guilty of careless procedures and corruption, but it shows how, when discovered, these procedures are ignored rather than corrected especially in the case of Manitowoc County.

The justice system, in more recent years, has righted its wrongs by releasing wrongfully imprisoned people thanks to more accurate DNA testing. Mistakes are made, but when they are ignored and pushed aside is when the system becomes unjust and ineffective.

In response, people have rallied behind Steven Avery's cause, even going as far as making a petition to pardon Avery and sending it to President Obama with more than 100,000 signatures. Petitions to reopen the case to prove Steven Avery's innocence have also been signed. In a more real sense, Steven Avery's story has exposed people to a case of injustice and has put them in pursuit of setting it right.
