Resumen del Editor

“Whatever you thought you believed about this infamous case, get ready to change your mind or be more convinced than ever.... Fascinating.” (New York Times best-selling author Steve Jackson)

In 2016-17, while working for the USA Today Network’s Wisconsin Investigative Team, author John Ferak wrote dozens of articles examining the murder case again Steven Avery, who had already beat one wrongful conviction only to be charged with the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005. The case became the wildly successful Netflix Making a Murderer documentary.

In Wrecking Crew: Demolishing the Case Against Steven Avery, Ferak lays out in exacting detail the post-conviction strategy of Kathleen Zellner, the high-profile, high-octane lawyer, to free Avery. To create this work, Zellner, perhaps America’s most successful wrongful conviction attorney, gave Ferak unique access to the exhaustive pro bono efforts she and her small suburban Chicago law firm dedicated for a man she believes to be a victim of an unscrupulous justice system in Manitowoc County.

High quality true crime

Wrecking Crew: Demolishing the Case Against Steven Avery. - Gripping and worrying from the start.
Steven Avery's story is disturbing and worrying whichever side your on - Is he a killer tried & convicted by a jury or is he a victim of a vendetta by the local sheriffs department.
A great read/listen the book is the story of how a top lawyer and her team set out to prove his innocence. The outcome still hasn't been decided by a new trial.

Excellent book!

 The book was a great follow up from the tv series. I look forward to following this case and see where it leads. "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."

the lies

I like how you tell the story in detail. I like how they talked about kratz

Great audiobook!

So much more information than what was shown in the Netflix series. One of the most gripping books I have read.

Wow!

Loved it.Very eye opening. Really detailed the why regarding the corruption that took place in the organization and their local legal system. They never stood a chance to have a fair trial! Thank God for KZ!

This a story you’ll keep going back to.

I find my self going back in the chapters and sifting through it again and again. It is fascinating how the truth is uncovered time and time again. A remarkable case of wrongfully imprisoned again…..

Great book for fans of the Netflix series

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a great companion book for fans of the series. Excellent writing paired with a great narrator. Captivating book.

Did I Just Hear That

I must be the only person on the planet that did not know about the Steven Avery case, so I came into this book a little blindsided, as I had not seen the Netflix story regarding this.

This book opened my eyes to the corruption in law enforcement, which made my heart sink, as I have always felt that their job was to protect the innocent, and also, you are innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, this did occur with Mr. Avery.

Steven Avery was incarcerated for raping a woman, a crime that he did not commit. After being awarded for the injustice the police seemed to have Avery in their sights for revenge (this is the best that I can describe it). Then after Teresa Holbock went missing October 31 2005 and was later found murdered, they (the cops) tried to pin it on Avery, when there was other suspects that were not really questioned. The fact that Avery's nephew had a computer with disturbing images, web history, etc, was not questioned or looked into further brings up more questions than answers.

Truth be told, I will probably never go to Wisconsin (where this story takes place), however, this book is an eye opener for me on the corruption that is still going on in our country.
