Steven Avery's attorney says she plans to seek further evidence testing which she believes will show he is innocent.
His attorney asked for a suspension of his latest appeal in order to request more testing on evidence that could overturn his conviction.
Prosecutors believe that Avery, the subject of hit Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer, killed Teresa Halbach in his family's Manitowoc County salvage yard in 2005.
He was convicted in 2007 and sentenced to life in prison.
Avery insists authorities framed him.
His new attorney, Kathleen Zellner, asked the 2nd District Court of Appeals yesterday to suspend his latest appeal because she plans to file another request next Friday, seeking more testing on evidence that could potentially overturn his conviction.
According to ABC news, the motion asks for “post-conviction testing of physical evidence” while acknowledging that since Avery's trial in 2007, “considerable progress has been made in forensic DNA methods, procedures and tests, including the development of tests for the specific detection of blood, saliva, semen and urine”.
The motion also says that Avery is willing to pay for the forensic and radiocarbon testing.
In the filing, Avery accuses James Lenk and Andrew Colborn of the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office of being “connected to” the discovery of the evidence, which he insists was planted.
Avery currently is serving a life sentence without parole.
The news comes as Avery's nephew, Brendan Dassey, who authorities believe assisted Avery, had his conviction quashed earlier this month
