Convicted killer, Steven Avery had his latest appeal denied by a Wisconsin appeals court, after it was requested that the court allow new testing of the bones found in the case. Avery and his nephew Brandon Dassey are currently in jail for the 2005 murder of Theresa Halbach. Avery’s attorney, Kathleen Zellner, requested the tests, saying in a tweet that it would “prove the murder and mutilation occurred in the Manitowoc County Gravel Pit and the bones were planted in Mr. Avery’s burn pit to frame him.” So far, all of Avery’s appeals have been denied. Dassey’s most recent appeal, to the United States Supreme Court, was also denied.
