<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Episode 5 of “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/convicting-a-murderer" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Convicting a Murderer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,” starring Candace Owens, was released on DailyWire+ Thursday and dives into Steven Avery’s $36 million lawsuit against Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, for his wrongful conviction in 1985.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-5-manitowoc-s-involvement" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Manitowoc’s Involvement</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,” Owens looks into allegations that Manitowoc County Sheriff Deputy Andy Colborn and investigator James Lenk planted evidence on Avery after he sued the county for $36 million. The episode shows that while the filmmakers of “Making a Murderer” asked a lot of questions about Manitowoc’s involvement in the investigation of Teresa Halbach’s murder, they didn’t tell the full story. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t think anyone can argue with the fact that ‘Making a Murderer’ left us with a lot of questions and very few answers,” Owens says in the episode. “And actually I think that’s one of the reasons it was so successful. Because it didn’t just end when the final credits rolled. People wanted to find the answers to those questions.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Manitowoc’s Involvement” answers key questions, such as why Manitowoc County officers were involved in investigating the Avery case, whether Colborn and Lenk had a reason to hold a grudge against Avery, and how the infamous RAV4 key was found on the final search of Avery’s home. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Why would these officers risk their own lives and livelihoods, their own freedom, to frame a man so that somebody else might avoid paying a lawsuit?” Owens asks. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Netflix series “Making a Murderer” portrayed Avery as an innocent victim of corrupt law enforcement in the murder of Halbach, sparking a worldwide fascination in the case and attracting around 19 million viewers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It appears Avery may be </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/is-steven-avery-directing-supporters-to-tank-candace-owens-convicting-a-murderer-review-score" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">directing his supporters</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from behind bars to tank the Rotten Tomatoes’ audience review score of “Convicting a Murderer.” A post on a Facebook group called “Steven Avery is INNOCENT” instructs Avery’s supporters “to flood Rotten Tomatoes and give ‘Convicting a Murderer’ a bad review.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Convicting a Murderer” pulls back the curtain on what viewers missed in “Making a Murderer.” The 10-episode series contains exclusive interviews with subjects not included in the Netflix show, including law enforcement officers, family members, and fans-turned-investigators whose lives have been profoundly impacted by the case.</span></p>
<h3><b>Coming Up</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next Thursday, DailyWire+ will release episode 6, “The Key &amp; the License Plate Call,&#8221; where Owens will dissect more narratives — these ones surrounding Colborn’s call to dispatch about Halbach’s license plate number and the key that Avery’s defense argued was planted in his bedroom.
