It was a year and a half ago when Mike Kinzel was interviewed for the Steven Avery docu-series “Making a Murderer” that swept the country. But he believes his take on Avery's guilt, was left on the cutting room floor.
Well before this Netflix series created controversy nationwide, folks in Manitowoc were watching the story break down on a smaller scale.
“There's no doubt it's an interesting case. I didn't think it would get this kind of play but it did," says former News Director of WCUB in Manitowoc Mike Kinzel.
Former news director Mike Kinzel of WCUB covered Avery’s first trial gavel to gavel. He would later be interviewed by Netflix for his insight.
"They were very nice and very professional," says Kinzel.
But he also believes producers he spoke with had the story in the bag, before the cameras started rolling.
"Their agenda seemed to be we're going to prove he was rail roaded, that he was wrongfully convicted, that he was framed," adds Kinzel.
Tonight on NBC26 Live at 10:00, we speak with Kinzel and explain why he doesn’t plan on even watching the series that put him, at least for a minute, in the national spotlight.
