Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Lisa Kumfer has asked the Court of Appeals for more time to respond to the latest effort to get a new trial for Steven Avery.
The state’s brief was due Wednesday and it isn’t clear if the additional time was approved. Avery’s attorney has asked the appeals court for the new trial or an evidentiary hearing.
Avery is appealing his 2007 conviction in the murder of Teresa Halbach.
A Sheboygan County judge already denied the new trial motion.
