Search "Making a Murderer" this morning, and you'll likely come up with a new hip hop song of the same name.

"Unlike the Netflix series from which the song likely draws its name, the track does not leave the listener feeling like its participants are innocent. Instead, it is quite clear that they are fully complicit in killing mediocrity, both in lyrics and in beats," website Ambrosia for Heads says in an article headlined, "Black Thought’s New Song With Styles P & 9th Wonder Is Absolute Lyrical Destruction (Audio)."

The song by artist Black Thought is available in the story.

► Steven Avery has made his way onto the cover of the magazine "Real Crime," above the headline "SHOCKING NEW INTERVIEW: STEVEN AVERY IS GUILTY." It can be yours for just £3.99.

► Former Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz, much reviled by "Making a Murderer" fans, now has his own entry on Urban Dictionary.

The word, "kratzy," is defined as:

"A type of ignorance where a person refuses to see the truth because they are so invested in the lie. Usually a result of brainwashing by mainstream news media combined with a lust for power. Inspired by lead prosececutor Ken Kratz from the Making a Murderer documentary on Netflix.

Be careful! Blind ambition can make you kratzy!"

► The Manitowoc County Board Chairman Jim Brey emailed the sheriff's department, telling them that the look in Steven Avery's eyes convinced him that Avery was guilty, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin reports.

"I will never forget the look in Steven Avery’s eyes when he was being brought into the courthouse ...," he wrote in an email to sheriff's detectives. “I know a person cannot be convicted based on that, but I made up my mind that day. Avery was guilty."

Manitowoc County Sheriff's Lt. Andrew Colborn was also praised in another email as a "great person and crime fighter."

Investigative reporter John Ferak got the emails through an open records request and offers a look inside the department in the story.

► Where in the world is Dean Strang? Last night, he was in Mankato, Minnesota, where he encouraged the crowd gathered at the state university there to get involved in the judicial system, according to the Mankato Free Press.

That means the public need to sit on juries (not try to get out of it) and vote in judicial elections, he said.

“It’s a jury summons. You haven’t been told that your combat unit is being sent back to Afghanistan,” the Free Press quoted Strang as saying.

► The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story shares some similarities with "Making a Murderer," Refinery29 tells us.

Apparently the DNA experts hired by Simpson's legal team co-founded The Innocence Project and the Wisconsin Innocence Project helped free Avery in the sexual assault case.

"Hold on to this interesting tidbit for those weekend brunch discussions about the end of this season of American Crime Story," they say.

Will do.
