In 2015, Netflix looked at the case of Steven Avery in their docuseries Making a Murderer. They explored Avery and how corrupt law enforcement made him quite possibly innocent. The series became one of the streaming giant’s biggest series. Fast forward to now, Candace Owens is on a mission to set the record straight in the DailyWire+ series Convicting a Murderer.

Owens takes us on a ten-episode journey where she sets the record straight by exposing hidden evidence in the murder of Teresa Halbach. The series starts with the first three episodes being available on DailyWire+ on Sept. 8, with weekly episodes until the finale on Oct. 26. Episode 1 will also premiere on X (formerly Twitter) on Sept. 8.

The key topics of this week’s episode of Convicting a Murder were what motive Steven Avery could have for murdering Teresa Halbach, why Steven Avery changed his story, and finding holes in the missing plot points of Making a Murderer. 

One of the biggest takeaways from Steven Avery’s motive was that he felt invincible. We’ve seen this many times throughout history where people get off or get away with something, guilty or not, and feel invincible. As a result, they commit another crime, thinking, “If I did it once and got away, I can do it again.” It is no surprise to me that when hearing that Avery had that frame of mind, it put him in the driver’s seat to kill Teresa Halbach. 

Marking a Murderer was well equipped with its cliffhangers to continuously put doubt in the audience’s mind as to whether or not the cops were trying to frame Steven Avery. It’s wild that the producers of Making a Murderer almost treated this as a scripted series, and it even seems like it might’ve been.  

Overall, Convicting a Murderer continues to deliver the goods in trying to find the truth of whether or not Steven Avery murdered Teresa Halbach and what the producers of Making a Murderer left out in order to build a story that opened the door to the cult phenomenon. Again, Candace Owens has promised to deliver nothing but facts and has hit a home run through four episodes.
