Per TVGuide:
More than 180,000 people have signed online petitions on Change.org and the White House’s website calling for the exoneration of Steven Avery, the subject of the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer.
The online petitions request that President Obama pardon Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey, who was also convicted of murdering Teresa Halbach. As of Jan. 4, the petition on whitehouse.gov had accumulated more than 19,200 signatures. If it reaches 100,000 signatures, the White House is required to issue an official response to the petition.
UPDATE: The petitions have now surpassed 190,000 200,000 signatures.
Netflix’s Making A Murderer currently stands as a one season documentary series, but Avery’s exoneration – or significant developments in the case – could potentially yield more material for a second season.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of Making A Murderer Season 2…
