MANITOWOC, Wis.- The Manitowoc County Courthouse might look quiet now, but that won't last for long.
"It was almost as if they picked on him, they targeted him and it bothers me a lot," said Curtis Busse of Green Bay. Busse organized one of several protests taking place Friday morning outside the Manitowoc County Courthouse for Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey.
Busse says after watching the popular Netflix documentary, "Making a Murderer," he believes the two are innocent.
"Our voices are getting louder each and every day, we're not quieting down by any means," said Busse.
More than 200 people are expected to turn out for the demonstration, which begins at 10:00 Friday morning.
With crowds so large flooding the streets of Manitowoc, police are taking precautions.
"We'll have officers you know that are on normal patrol and at the ready," said Captain Larry Zimney of the Manitowoc Police Department.
Police are also partnering with neighboring departments and the Wisconsin State Patrol, who's expected to have a plane above the demonstration.
"We just ask that they be respectful to the citizens of Manitowoc who are going about their daily business and there should be no issues," said Capt. Zimney.
There will also be a pro-Manitowoc group near the courthouse on Friday.
"We don't want this to be a confrontational thing," said Kim Geiser. Geiser helped to organize the event by the group We Love Manitowoc.
The group will be holding signs, hoping to change what they believe is a negative outlook on their city.
"There's this misconception that we all hated him and the whole community had a witch hunt against him and it's just simply not true," explained Geiser.
The protest begins at 10:00 Friday morning and could go as late as 10:00 that night according to the Manitowoc Police Department.
