From Times Wire Reports
A man who spent 18 years in prison for a rape he didn’t commit was convicted of murdering a photographer whose charred bones were found in a burn pit outside his home.
Steven Avery, 44, faces a mandatory life prison term for killing Teresa Halbach, 25, on Halloween 2005 near his family’s salvage yard, where she had gone to photograph a minivan to be listed for sale in a magazine.
Avery had been released from prison in 2003 after being cleared by DNA analysis.
