Details are few, but former Steven Avery defense attorney Jerome Buting and former Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz are slated to appear on "Dr. Phil" at some point soon, a CBS representative confirmed this week.

Over the last year, the show has hosted many of those featured in the Netflix docu-series "Making a Murderer." Avery himself appeared by phone from prison in October while his then-fiancee sat with Phil McGraw on stage.

"Once an airdate is scheduled, I’ll let you know," a CBS representative wrote in an email to USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin this week.

A decade later...

Saturday marks the 10-year anniversary of the guilty verdict in Avery's case. Keep an eye out for a story from USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin reporter John Ferak.

"Making a Murderer" books make the rounds

► "There are no two ways about it: Either Steven Avery, Wisconsin’s most famous prison exoneree, murdered a 25-year-old freelance photographer named Teresa Halbach on Oct. 31, 2005, or he didn’t. Either his nephew, Brendan Dassey, was complicit in this crime or he wasn’t," Bill Lueders writes in Isthmus.

Four books — including those by Kratz and Buting — reach contradictory conclusions, he writes.

The piece is an interesting read, especially as it provides a kind of review of the cases woven in with discussion of the books.

His conclusion: "There is a reason 'Making a Murderer' is so popular, and why books about the subject are sure to find receptive audiences. It’s because justice matters — for Teresa Halbach, for Avery and Dassey, for the accused cops. And, based on all available evidence, we can’t trust the courts to get it right."

► Kratz's book is also making headlines in Minnesota, where the Duluth News Tribune talked with him about it — and about the Netflix series. The story describes the backlash he felt after the docu-series' release in December 2015.

"I'm writing it because the truth matters, and people get hurt when it is twisted and misrepresented," the story cites Kratz as writing in the first chapter. "More public horror has been expressed at the imagined plight of Steven Avery than at Teresa (Halbach's) very real murder."
