Steven Avery's attorney, Kathleen Zellner, has taken to Twitter to ridicule a professor who said her prolific tweeting about the case isn't likely to have a huge impact in the legal realm.

And, as expected, her online supporters have jumped on the bandwagon, though it's unclear how many of them actually read the story, since there's no link in her post.

In other Avery news from around the web:

► One PopZette writer is exploring Hollywood's rewriting of history in the O.J. Simpson case and in "Making a Murderer." The storytelling in the Netflix series brought Avery's case into the public eye, prompting petitions and public outrage, Zachary Leeman writes.

And while "Making a Murderer" and the portrayal of the Simpson case in "American Crime Story" can bring attention to details and cases, they've also been criticized for "factual smudges."

"There’s no doubt films can often act as the definitive version of historical events, yet their needed manipulation of facts and simplification of events for dramatic purposes, can blend very strangely with real life accounts," he writes.
