Steven Avery was framed in a botched job that will be presented to court in a raft of new evidence that will shame the police.

That's the warning from Chicago-based lawyer Kathleen Zellner who is threatening to bring a civil suit which could see Mr Avery become a multi-millionaire if her case is successful.

In a new interview Ms Zellner has blasted the Manitowoc Police who she says are responsible for framing her client insisting she will fight tooth and nail to ensure he will once again be set free.

And she says that she's never been so sure that one of her clients is innocent after spending 20 hours interviewing the 53-year-old who is serving a life sentence insisting it is a "signature" miscarriage of justice.

And she is looking at 38 boxes of evidence as well overseeing a crack team of forensics experts who are analysing the evidence that was presented in the original case.

Now she says that as well as applying to have Avery's conviction quashed - she is not going to stop short at the criminal courts and fully intends to bring a civil suit against the Manitowoc Police.

She had dinner with Crime Time presenter Allison Hope Weiner who revealed that Zellner hand picked Steven Avery's case because she is convinced she can get him released.

She says she was approached by Steven's girlfriend Sandra Greenman, 73, and is completely convinced that he was set up.

She also says not enough was done to investigate the background to Teresa Halbach who was killed on Halloween 2005.

Kathleen added: "It's the evidence and having had a number of these cases it has a signature of a wrongful conviction case.

"They only focused on him, they did not look at lot of other suspects, certainly [there was] some very key people they should have been looking at.

"There was very poor investigation done of the victim's background, who she was involved with and circumstances of her life.

"It had all of the hallmarks of a wrongful conviction case and then when I met him, I realised in the time I spent with him in 15 or 20 hours, I absolutely don't believe he committed this murder.

"I don't believe he is capable of committing a murder.

"But that's not the key thing - it is the evidence that's just flawed."

Zellner also says the 'corrupt police' will regret their manipulative plans to plant evidence effectively framing Steven and his young nephew Brendan Dassey.

Zellner said: "I selected the Avery case because I think that there was very blatant police misconduct in planting evidence and I think there is also a discrimination against the Avery family because of a perception that they were dispensible.

"Certainly the whole case revolves around the fact that he brought a civil rights case and I think that is one of the most important developments.

"When I saw that there was a concerted effort to stop him from bringing that case showing the police misconduct it really piqued my interest in it."

Zellner has confirmed she plans to use the most technologically advanced 'Luminol' testing - to prove that Teresa Halbach was not killed in either Mr Avery's garage or his trailer as was claimed in court in 2006.
