Inside Making a Murderer and The Staircase

Attorneys Laura Nirider and Steven Drizin kept us glued to our screens in the second series of Making a Murderer, as they fought their way up the US court system trying to fight for Brendan Dassey’s release. In The Staircase, defense lawyer David Rudolf made for thrilling TV, building his case for client Michael Peterson. If you’re yet to stream the shows, both dive into the criminal justice system in fascinating, and often terrifying, ways – throwing up all sorts of questions around whether incarcerated people should have a fairer chance to fight for their innocence once imprisoned. If you had burning questions at the time, now you can put them to Nirider, Drizin and Rudolf in person when they visit Australia in March.
