Could Steven Avery's new attorney be part of a follow-up to the hit Netflix docu-series "Making a Murderer"?

One of the filmmakers, Laura Ricciardi, tells TimeOut London that she and co-filmmaker Moira Demos have "been talking to (attorney) Kathleen Zellner about the potential of filming with her and continuing to follow the story."

Zellner's involvement in Avery's case has been one of the major developments since the series aired in mid-December, while the case against his nephew, Brendan Dassey, hasn't really changed, Ricciardi said.

► "Making a Murderer" is now featured in "Undisclosed," a podcast that takes another look at the Adnan Syed case featured in the "Serial" podcast.

The three hosts delve into victim Teresa Halbach's phone records, witness statements and what that information says, or doesn't say, about the final hours before she was murdered.

"This case is rife with contradictory, inconsistent statements from the same witnesses," one of the hosts says.

It seems like the Syed case in that investigators were so focused on the suspect that they forgot to look at the basic facts concerning the victim, another host says.

► Over the course of two hours, Dassey's attorneys Steven Drizin and Laura Nirider of the Bluhm Legal Clinic's Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth use the young man's case to analyze police interrogations.

Drizin promises to take audience members inside the interrogation room.

"We will show you clips of the interrogation, some of which were not in the movie, and you'll see what we saw when we first viewed Brendan's interrogation and confession, and we will explain to you why we are convinced that his confession is both coerced and false," Drizin says.

The film sparked a much-needed discussion about the quality of the justice defendants get in the criminal justice system, he said.

► On the road: Avery's attorneys Dean Strang and Jerry Buting will continue their speaking tour with a stop at the University of Houston at 8 p.m. on May 21.

Audience questions on the tour tend to revolve around Dassey's treatment and interrogation, and former Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz, Buting told the Houston Press.
