Prices for the cards start from roughly £2.00 (excluding postage and packaging).

For those who haven't watched the Netflix docu-series, Dean and Jerry were the defence lawyers who fought tooth and nail for Steven Avery's innocence. But to no avail.

Despite this, the internet still really loves them.

The prosecutor claims the makers of 'Making a Murderer' "don't want to muddy up a perfectly good conspiracy movie with what actually happened".He cites the testimony of one witness a who said victim Teresa Halbach told her Avery had once come to the door wearing just a towel. This evidence was dismissed by the court as the dates and details could not be determined.

According Kratz, Avery's DNA was found on a swab taken from the hood of Halbach's car. The swab was taken five months after Avery was charged and also after investigators Fassbender and Wiegert had interviewed Brendan Dassey during which they themselves brought up the idea that Avery did something to the hood of the vehicle.

'Making a Murderer' omits a section where Brendan Dassey tells his mother in a phone call from jail that Avery touched him inappropriately. It should be noted however that this was during the time where Dassey was still purporting the story that he was involved in the murder was true. Read the full transcript of the conversation here.

Kratz cites phonecalls made to Halbach as evidence he acted creepily towards her(05 of09)

He said: "Phone records show three calls from Avery to Teresa's cell phone on Oct. 31. One at 2:24 [p.m.], and one at 2:35 – both calls Avery uses the *67 feature so Teresa doesn't know it him...both placed before she arrives."Then one last call at 4:35 p.m., without the *67 feature. Avery first believes he can simply say she never showed up…so tries to establish the alibi call after she's already been there, hence the 4:35 call. She will never answer of course, so he doesn't need the *67 feature for that last call."However the second episode of 'Making a Murderer' begins with a voicemail Halbach left Avery on the morning of her disappearance, asking him to call back.
