Steven was charged with sexual assault, attempted murder, and false imprisonment. Steven Avery couldn’t afford a good attorney because he was poor. Steven Avery spent 18 years in prison for something that he didn’t do. Officers from another county called and said that Manitowoc County possibly had the wrong man for the rape. It turns out that the other county was right and that the real rapist was Gregory Allan. Steven sued Manitowoc County for $32 million; he received $400,000 before he was charged with murder (Demos).
Steven was charged with murder because the victim’s car was found in the family’s junk yard. Police officers searched Steven’s home several times before they found the keys to the victim’s car. Officers planted the evidence before they found it in my opinion because they didn’t want to pay all the money he was suing them for. Officers and Investigators did not take the proper steps and technique’s to investigate Stevens home and items they found. Steven used all $400,000 to get the best lawyers he could possibly get, but Steven had such a bad reputation and so much evidence against him there was nothing his lawyers could do. Steven is still in jail today and he will be for the rest of his life because he was charged yet again for something that he didn’t do and was sentenced to life in prison
