This petition calls for a federal investigation of the Sheriff's Offices of Manitowoc County and Calumet County, Wisconsin, regarding their handling of the Teresa Halbach investigation and their prosecution of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, as featured in the documentary entitled "Making a Murderer."
We the people believe that justice has not been served by the counties' investigations and prosecution, which were irreparably and grievously flawed by corruption, coercion, and conflict of interest.
We the people assert that an investigation into these agencies is necessary in order to demonstrate the Obama Administration's commitment to restoring a sense of fairness at the heart of our justice system.
