Clear & Convincing - Episode 32 - Wisconsin v. Steven Avery w/Michael Griesbach

On July 29, 1985, P.B. was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, beaten and left for dead in woods on the shoreline of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.  A local deputy believed that P.B.’s description of her assailant fit Steven Avery and county law enforcement fixated on him as the perpetrator.  In spite of an alibi and leads pointing to another suspect, Gregory Allen, Avery was arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced for the attempted sexual assault and attempted murder of P.B.  In 2003, after serving 18 years in prison, Avery was exonerated by DNA recovered from a single hair that linked Gregory Allen to P.B.’s 1985 attack.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, December 11, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. Central, for an interview with Michael Griesbach, a former Manitowoc County prosecutor and author of two books about the Steven Avery case: The Innocent Killer: A True Story of a Wrongful Conviction and its Astonishing Aftermath; and, Indefensible: The Missing Truth about Steven Avery, Teresa Halbach, and “Making a Murderer.” He’s now engaged in the private practice of law, primarily criminal defense.
