Making a Murderer Interview with Angenette Levy (Local 12 - WKRC Cincinnati)

He served 18 years for a crime he didn't commit. Now he's on the line again, and some want to see him put away for good. 

FTM Radio's Mark Collier interviews Local 12's Angenette Levy about her first-hand experience covering the Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey for her then-affiliate WFRV-TV Green Bay. 

You've heard from prosecutors and defense attorneys after the trial, now hear from an unbiased third party covering the trial first-hand. Did the filmmakers get it right? Was crucial evidence left out? Were certain "conspiracy themes" a big deal or trumped up for the sake of theatre. 

Angenette has the answers.

You can watch the first episode, free on YouTube here.
