The Wisconsin Supreme Court has rejected a request by Steven Avery to review his conviction for killing a young photographer in 2005, a case that became the focus of a popular Netflix series “Making a Murderer.”.

The Wisconsin Court of Appeals has unanimously rejected a request by “Making a Murderer” subject Steven Avery for a new trial or a hearing to present new evidence.

(CNN) - Brendan Dassey, the man whose murder conviction is at the center of Netflix's "Making a Murderer," is petitioning for clemency after spending more than a decade in prison. Dassey's attorney Laura Nirider announced Wednesday his defense had filed a petition for clemency with Wisconsin Gov. He was convicted of her murder in 2007 and has been serving a life sentence in a Wisconsin prison ever since. She said Dassey's attorney, Len Kachinsky, pressured his client into pleading guilty after Dassey was coerced into making a false statement. In November that same year, the Wisconsin attorney general filed a motion to release him from prison under the supervision of the US Probation Office.
