The appeals judges found that Avery did not present sufficient facts to satisfy the requirements for third-party perpetrator evidence to be tested.
Avery claims a witness saw another family member pushing Halbach’s S-U-V into a hiding spot in the family’s auto salvage yard, and that investigators and prosecutors did not provide that information to Avery’s defense team in a timely manner.
He continues to serve a life prison sentence.
