An attorney for a man whose criminal case was featured in the Netflix series "Making a Murderer" is seeking a new trial or evidentiary hearing. Steven Avery is serving a life sentence for the 2005 killing of photographer Teresa Halbach. Attorney Kathleen Zellner had promised an appeal and filed a 150-page document Monday asking the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to take up the case. She asked the court to consider claims ranging from insufficient scientific testing of evidence to ineffective trial counsel. Avery's nephew, Brendan Dassey, is also serving a life sentence in the killing.
