Zellner also doubled down on her argument that Avery's lawyers Dean Strang and Jerry Buting were ineffective counsel . In an interview with Rolling Stone , she stated: "There is a paragraph in a police report from 2006 describing what we were able to find with more clarity." Zellner went on to say that the State, Strang, and Buting all "received the reports on this violent porn about 7-10 days before trial." She criticized Avery's attorneys for not investigating the matter further.
