In his new book, "Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery and What "Making a Murderer" Gets Wrong," chief prosecutor Ken Kratz, who prosecuted Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey, stands by the conviction to prove that Avery is indeed guilty. Kratz believes that the filmmakers fabricated evidence to cover the truth.
Kratz has accused the filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi, now filming for "Making a Murderer" Season 2, that they fabricated evidence and omitted important facts in his book. He also explained how the lives of the two cops Lt. James Lenk and Sgt. Andy Colborn have been ruined after they were accused of framing Avery.
""Making A Murderer" is a very good piece of entertainment but it's not really what happened," Kratz told Daily Mail. "It's simply not how the case happened in real life. The filmmakers have distorted and misrepresented the case."
The "Making a Murderer" prosecutor told the publication that he needs to speak up after the two police officers decided to keep mum about the accusations on them. He believes that somebody needs to stand up and fight for their right to set the record straight once and for all.
In his explosive book, the prosecutor also showed how his life got affected since the Netflix hit docuseries started airing. He detailed that he received a total of 4,000 death threats, explosive packages sent to his office, lost his source of income and law firm.
Kratz defended the accusations of Avery's supporters that the justice system in the United States has been unfair. He lamented that they have given Avery the due process. The prosecutor also alleged that the "Making a Murderer" filmmakers have been biased and that they presented distorted facts to misinform the public.
In his book, Kratz accused the producers of the docuseries that it used a deceptive editing technique called splicing. On one instance, Colborn appeared suspicious when his answer on one question was used to answer another question in his court testimony.
Kratz argued that "Making a Murderer" has so many loopholes as the filmmakers tried to delete, interchange and only pick a part that supports their narrative. He also accused the filmmakers of fooling people.
In connection to his book, Kratz is urging the filmmakers to explain their side why they decided to change and omit various pertinent evidence that would prove that Avery is guilty. He is also inviting the documentary industry to take a move to give lessons to the filmmakers.
"Making a Murderer" Season 2 is set to be released before 2017 ends, a Netflix resource person told PEOPLE. No definite date has been set yet as the show's creators are still filming in Wisconsin's Manitowac County. Watch one of Kratz's interview in 2016:
