Synopsis

In The Innocent Killer, Michael Griesbach tells the story of one of the nation's most notorious wrongful convictions, that of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man who spent eighteen years in prison for a crime he did not commit. But two years after he was exonerated of that crime and poised to reap millions in his wrongful conviction lawsuit, Steven Avery was arrested for the exceptionally brutal murder of Teresa Halbach, a freelance photographer who had gone missing several days earlier. The "innocent man" had turned into a cold-blooded killer. Or had he?

About Michael Griesbach

Michael Griesbach is a prosecuting attorney in the Wisconsin county where the events recounted in The Innocent Killer occurred. He wrote this book to challenge the system, to find out if we still believe in the long-cherished principle of American jurisprudence: "It's better to let one hundred guilty persons go free than it is to convict one who is innocent." Michael hopes to leave readers better informed about the inner workings of the criminal justice system and more concerned about those whose lives it deeply affects. He lives in Wisconsin with his wife, Jody, and their four children.

I would like to thank Netgalley, Random House Uk and Michael Griesbach for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Goodreads review by Mariah Roze

I enjoyed this book! It is written by a prosecuting attorney from Manitowoc, Wisconsin. He helped get Steven acquitted in his first case. I’ve never seen Making a Murderer (on Netflix) but if I remember from what I was told, the series is about Steven's second case. This book really goes through the......more

Goodreads review by Kelsey

Trying to avoid spoilers for the few who don't know the Steven Avery story. The first 75% of this book was excellent. I, along with I'm sure most others, picked it up because I was interested in the case after watching the Netflix documentary "Making a Murderer" and I wanted to know if there were mo......more
