Juror reveals Steven Avery verdicts were a compromise
Demos's producing partner Laura Ricciardi said this juror believes a retrial is warranted -- somewhere far from Wisconsin, where the original trial took place. Ricciardi said the juror "told us the verdicts in Steven's trial were a compromise. That was the actual word the juror used, and went on to describe the jurors ultimately trading votes in the jury room. Explicitly discussing, 'If you vote guilty on this count, I will vote not guilty on this count.' That was a significant revelation."
According to the juror, the finding of not guilty on the count of mutilating a corpse -- a "split verdict" -- was intended to "send a message to the appellate courts," Demos said.
"They thought that Steven would get a new trial. That was sort of their plan and it didn't work out that way," Demos said.
Wisconsin's Supreme Court rejected Avery's later bid.
