'Making A Murderer' Season 2 News & Update: Steven Avery Lawyer Sure Of Freedom In 2017; Filmmakers Already Editing Episodes

The lawyer of "Making a Murderer" subject Steven Avery is convinced her client will gain his freedom in 2017. Chicago lawyer Kathleen Zellner is said to be confident that the extensive DNA re-testings the court has recently ordered will prove Steven Avery was framed.

The "Making a Murderer" defense team believes that there will be no retrial for Steven Avery and he might even go for a wrongful imprisonment claim once he is out of prison, Daily Mail reports. The prisoner's best friend, Curtis Busse, told the news outlet that Steven Avery's defense team has been working hard for his freedom but the people who have put him behind bars will get their due as well.

"He wants revenge and for him to get revenge, it's actually for the good of the people as well," Busse told the Daily Mail. If Steven Avery gets out he wants to commit to helping other people who have been wrongfully convicted. The "Making a Murderer" subject continues to profess that he did not kill Teresa Halbach even after being in prison for over 10 years.

Meanwhile, "Making a Murderer" documentary filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi recently talked about their project with Fortune. They confirm that they have already edited two episodes of the second season, which will be coming out on Netflix. The streaming site, however, has not yet given a firm release date for the upcoming series perhaps because the case is still unfolding.

"Making a Murder" first aired on the streaming site in December 2015 with 10 episodes. The documentary series drew viewers' interest because it highlighted the errors of the American justice system.

"We think we have the best system in the world," Moria Demos said in the Fortune interview. She said that there are several things about the law's system that isn't working as seen in "Making a Murderer."
