Following the release of Steven Avery’s false imprisonment, and his short-lived freedom after the death of Teresa Halbach, defense attourneys Dean Strang and Jerry Buting took Avery’s side for his second in a lifetime lengthy murder trial. Strang and Buting became cultural icons as they defended Avery, becoming the accidental heroes of the Making A Murderer series.
Today the pair have announced a North American tour, titled A Conversation on Making a Murderer, in which they will travel around and engage in an open discussion about the case and the justice system in general. They have announced the tour through a press release:
Strang and Buting’s tour will involve the two attorneys in conversation about the Steven Avery case and its broader implications, as well as a discussion on the larger topic of the American criminal justice system. Each night will also feature a Q&A portion and the opportunity for the audience to address questions directly to Dean Strang and Jerry Buting. At a time when the nation is gripped with pressing questions about the fairness and effectiveness of our criminal justice system, concerns that have been highlighted by true crime narratives from ‘Making A Murderer’, ‘Serial’ and ‘The Jinx’ to the murder trial of O.J. Simpson, Strang and Buting will be exploring and discussing our process of justice today and throughout history. Reviewing these situations, they will highlight the imperfections in our judicial system and suggest improvements that are sorely needed.
