The attorney for convicted killer Steven Avery is asking the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to take up the case. Kathleen Zellner is still seeking a new trial for Avery – or, an evidentiary hearing. Zellner’s new trial request was turned down by a circuit judge in August. Now, she wants the appeals court to consider claims ranging from insufficient scientific testing of evidence to ineffective trial counsel. Avery’s nephew, Brendan Dassey, has asked Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers to grant him clemency.
