For some reason Ken Kratz, the former prosecutor featured in Netflix's Making a Murderer, agreed to an interview with a comedian and the results are utterly bizarre.

Kratz was a Wisconsin DA who headed up the investigation and prosecution of Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey, who are both serving time for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach.

The conviction was the second for Avery, who had previously been convicted and cleared of a crime he didn't commit, after he spent 18 years in prison.

Making a Murderer charts Avery's life over a decade from the time he was arrested for the murder in 2005 and examines the alleged failings of the criminal justice system in investigating that crime.

Of how he is portrayed in Making a Murderer, he says, "I was a dick. Some of that was bravado that was necessary for the presentation of the case. But some of that was me.

Friedman asked Kratz if he had gained any admirers as a result of Making a Murderer and he said he had not. Friedman said that even serial killer Ted Bundy had admirers.

Kratz also suggests that Friedman has a "pathetic" crush on Dean Strang, the attorney representing Avery in the series and Friedman then goes on to ask Kratz, "If you were to sext me what adjectives would you use?"
