Buting stated in a press release through Harper, “I am excited to write my personal account of defending Steven Avery in a climate of extreme prejudice, investigative tunnel vision and evidence of misconduct. Beyond the Netflix documentary, there is much more to say about the Avery investigation and trial, its flaws and how they can be seen in other fascinating – if less celebrated – cases that I’ve worked on. Taken together, they show up what is wrong with our criminal justice system. Just as importantly, they provide a roadmap to urgently needed reforms. We all count on the presumption of innocence, and all of us need to protect this bedrock of our society.”

With the aid of fellow lawyer Dean Strang, the two lawyers did all they could to defend Avery in 2007 but he was found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide and sentenced to life in prison. Avery had already served 18 years in prison for committing a crime that was later determined he did not commit through DNA evidence.
