So it turns out there’s actually a lot of stuff that could help in the case that’s not being reexamined and the original list might not look as good in hindsight. However, it’s important to remember that all those blood samples that are being retested are the pieces of evidence that are most likely to have been tampered with by the cops if they did indeed frame Avery, so the fact that they’re going to be retested is definitely a win for Avery and Zellner.
Unfortunately, it’s probably going to take months for them to be reexamined thoroughly, so it’s going to be a while until we hear anything back about them, but at least we now know that progress is being made in the case. The legal world is a slow and particular place though and these things take time – I’m sure Steven Avery won’t mind an extra few months in jail if he gets released at the end of them though. I mean he’s been in there without a hope at all for long enough, right?
