Convicting a Murderer

Convicting a Murderer is an American true crime documentary series narrated and hosted by Candace Owens for conservative media company The Daily Wire. The show is a rebuttal to the 2015-2018 Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer,[3] which argued for the innocence of Steven Avery, a man wrongly convicted of sexual assault and later freed only to be charged with and convicted of the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach. While Making a Murderer sought to build a case for Avery's innocence, Convicting a Murderer argues that Avery is in fact guilty, and that Netflix irresponsibly attempted to portray him as innocent for media attention. Convicting a Murderer further posits the notion that Avery became a poster-child for an anti-police agenda in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement and that efforts to portray him as innocent are part of a widespread "liberal agenda" to skew public opinion against the criminal justice system.

Reception
