The defense team for convicted killer Stephen Avery is running into another roadblock, as the State has requested that his latest appeals be denied.
The appeals that are currently being considered were sent to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, after previous attempts by Avery and his attorney Kathleen Zellner failed.
In their response to the appeal, the state Attorney General’s office said in part that “Avery has egregiously misrepresented the record (as the court of appeals repeatedly noted), the law, the lower courts’ opinions, and even his own arguments.”
The Supreme Court does not have to hear arguments on the case, and no hearings are scheduled.
Avery is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005.
