Netflix’s Making a Murderer did not defame detective, judge rules
A retired Wisconsin detective has lost a defamation lawsuit against streaming giant Netflix over his portrayal in the 2015 documentary series Making a Murderer.
On Friday, US district judge Brett Ludwig ruled in favour of Netflix and Making a Murderer filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, concluding that none of them acted with any malice toward now-retired Manitowoc County Sheriff’s detective Andrew Colborn.
