If you haven't seen the documentary series Making a Murderer on Netflix (or YouTube) yet, we won't spoil it for you, but you definitely should get on that. If you have seen it, then you already know that the story of Steven Avery, an outsider convicted and later exonerated of a brutal crime, is crazy addictive.

From Netflix:

Ken Kratz, who was the special prosecutor on the case says he wasn't given a chance to respond to allegations made in the documentary against himself and the sheriff's office suggesting that they had it out for Avery and framed him in the second murder case, according to CNN.

Kratz said that because of that one-sided nature of the show, viewers of the series have been getting in touch with him before the holidays to share their death threats against him.

The creators of the series, however, say they did give Kratz a chance to respond and give his side of the story, though Kratz said that the documentary was one-sided and ignored proof of Avery's guilt.
