A former NBC26 reporter and now legal expert weighed in on the request filed by Avery’s lawyer on Wednesday. 

Aaron Keller covered the trial from the beginning. Later, he became a lawyer -- and continued following the Halbach murder case.

Keller said it's important to remember what's written in the motion is not proven and these are still accusations.

“This is the most compelling counter narrative to the state's case that I have ever seen since day one of this case,” said Aaron Keller, legal analyst with Lawnewz.com.

Keller says from here, it depends on Wisconsin laws and a standard of review for what happens next. He added a case cannot be tried over and over again.
