Making a Murderer Series :

  • Due to the amount of money Dolores and Allan poured into Steven’s defense, there has been a lot of support for her from fans of the show.
  • The Averys even had to sell the families’ business to cover Steven’s legal costs. But Steven’s civil lawsuit for wrongful imprisonment of 18 years paid him out $400,000 that was able to cover some legal costs. He had made a claim for $36 million dollars.
  • Dolores has admitted that Steven went to a nearby school “for slower kids.” He is reported to have a low IQ of 70 and that he “barely functioned in school.”
