Convicting a Murderer is an American true crime documentary series narrated and hosted by Candace Owens for media company The Daily Wire. The show tells the story of Steven Avery, who was wrongly convicted of sexual assault but freed when new evidence came out. After his release, Avery was charged with and convicted of the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach. Avery became a public figure due to the 2015-2018 Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer.[3]
The series was produced by Transition Studios and directed by Shawn Rech, who started work on it in 2018. It was released through DailyWire+ on 7 September 2023.[4] Rech and Owens claim in Convicting A Murderer that Avery's murder conviction should not be reversed.[5]
Reception
Ed Power at The Daily Telegraph called it a "baffling takedown" and "stonkingly tedious."[6]
Rachel Leishman, Assistant Editor at The Mary Sue wrote a scathing review, in which she acknowledges that she has not watched even one episode. She calls the show "Copaganda", and goes further to say "Convicting a Murderer, in its premiere and first couple of episodes, seems to just put out more of the same information but just with other people’s opinions on it and claiming that as fact."[7]
