Steven Avery was freed last year after volunteers from the Innocence Project at the UW-Madison Law School found evidence that another man – not Avery – committed the rape for which Avery was convicted.
“It’s a tragic turn of events,” Keith Findley, co-director of the Innocence Project, said Thursday. “We’re very saddened to hear that they found human remains” on Avery family property.
Project co-director John Pray added, “It’s a very sad day for everyone involved, and our hearts and prayers go out to the (Teresa Halbach) family.”
