Scott Walker won't pardon 'Making a Murderer' subject Steven Avery

Outraged Making a Murderer viewers have been calling for a pardon of Steven Avery, but that is officially off the table.

A press secretary for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told The Huffington Post that the governor will not pardon anyone while he is in office.

"As you may know, early in his administration, Governor Walker made the decision not to issue pardons," said press secretary Laurel Patrick. "Those who feel they have been wrongly convicted can seek to have their convictions overturned by a higher court."

Patrick also said that Walker has not watched the documentary, but that these events took place before he took office.

Netflix's new documentary Making a Murderer chronicles the trial of Steven Avery, who was convicted of homicide in 2007. The documentary suggests that evidence used against Avery was flimsy and that it even may have been planted by police.

In the weeks since Making a Murderer premiered, petitions have been spreading all over the Internet, with one Change.org petition asking President Obama to pardon Avery. It has received over 300,000 signatures, although the president cannot issue pardons for those convicted of a state crime.

Avery's best chance at this point is to receive a retrial based on new evidence or possibly due to jury tampering, as one juror recently described the process of trading votes that took place and said they voted guilty out of fear for their lives.
