'Making A Murderer' Season 2 Air Date, News & Updates: Dean Strang & Jerry Buting Confirm Return, Maintains Steven Avery's Innocence

The former lawyers of Steven Avery in "Making A Murderer" Season 2 have confirmed they will be in the new documentary. Dean Strang and Jerry Buting have apparently filmed a fresh interview with "Making a Murderer" directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos.

Dean Strang and Jerry Buting, who failed to get Steven Avery acquitted for the crime of murder in 2005, have sat down with the crew of "Making a Murderer" to discuss the latest developments of the case. It's unclear, however, if the two lawyers' statements will make the cut in the documentary. "We have already been interviewed by them, they did approach us, but whether we end up being in it, that's their decision," Bunting said of their "Making a Murderer" Season 2 appearance, per RTE.

Since Dean Strang and Jerry Buting are no longer the lawyers for Steven Avery, the subject of "Making a Murderer," their work has come under fire. The current defense attorney, Kathleen Zellner, has been saying that Dean Strang and Jerry Buting failed to bring up crucial evidence that would help Steven Avery.

But Steven Avery's former lawyers are not taking the attacks personal. In the interest of their former "Making a Murderer" client, they would want Kathleen Zellner to do well in defending her client. In fact, they turned over everything they have to Zellner, including all the data they have gathered from people who have been emailing them since "Making a Murderer" became a hit on Netflix.

Last July, "Making a Murderer" subject Steven Avery also released a letter against his former lawyers. He cited his frustration for Dean Strang and Jerry Buting, who "didn't do no investigation on this case, if they did I would not be in prison," In Touch Weekly reported.

Whether this will be addressed by the lawyers in "Making a Murderer" Season 2 remains unclear. But Dean Strang and Jerry Buting understand their former client's sentiments. "Inmates talk to each other and often attorneys get blamed for them being there because we are [seen as] part of the system," Buting said, according to Newsweek. To these lawyers, they still believe that Steven Avery is innocent and wrongfully convicted of the crime.
