After 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Steven Avery was finally free. He was suing Manitowoc County for $36 million—until 25-year-old Teresa Halbach disappeared. Two years after his release, Avery was back in court. This time, for murder.


In this episode, we begin with Day 1 of the 2007 jury trial: the prosecution’s opening statement.
