A local law enforcement officer’s lawsuit against Netflix will proceed. A federal judge has refused to dismiss Andrew Colborn’s suit against Netflix for the “Making a Murderer” series which he says defames him. U S district judge Pamela Pepper has refused to throw out the lawsuit, noting Colborn’s argument that Netflix had plenty of warning signs to take heed of. The retired Sheriff’s Lieutenant says the docuseries falsely led viewers to believe that police planted evidence to frame Steven Avery for the murder of Theresa Halbach in 2005. An attorney had argued that Colborn’s allegations were not specific to Netflix, but were aimed also at the filmmakers and their independent production company.
