The District Attorney from 'Making a Murderer' Is Writing a Tell-All Book

Oh great. Just the guy we wanted to hear more from.

Ken Kratz, the ex-district attorney who prosecuted Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, told Action 2 News that he's writing a tell-all book "because the one voice forgotten to this point is Teresa Halbach."

Kratz emerged as the villain in the Netflix series Making a Murderer, and he's been on a tear since it was released, telling media outlets that the docu-series didn't fairly portray the prosecution's side of the story. 

"You don't want to muddy up a perfectly good conspiracy movie with what actually happened," he told People.

Some of the evidence he says was left out of the doc includes Avery calling the victim with the phone number-blocking *67 feature before she went to his house to take photos of a car for Auto Trader magazine, and DNA from Avery's sweat being found under the hood of Halbach's car. (Avery's trial attorneys have insisted there's no such thing as "sweat DNA or perspiration DNA.")

Kratz told Action 2 News he's "finally grateful to tell the whole story."
