15. FYI: Pres. Obama could not pardon Steven Avery for State level crimes

White House Responds to Petition for Steven Avery of 'Making a Murderer'

The White House has responded to a petition asking President Obama to pardon Steven Avery -- the subject of the Netflix show "Making a Murderer" -- along with Brendan Dassey, who were both convicted of murdering photographer Teresa Halbach in 2005.

More than 125,000 have signed the petition, exceeding the 100,000 needed to trigger a response.

However, because Avery and Dassey were convicted in state criminal court, the president does not have the power to pardon them, the White House said.

"A pardon in this case would need to be issued at the state level by the appropriate authorities," a representative for the White House wrote online. "While this case is out of the Administration's purview, President Obama is committed to restoring the sense of fairness at the heart of our justice system."
