attorney is using twitter to defend his innocence announcing to her follower that is she won't quit until he's out. this morning, the man at the center of "making a murderer," the netflix series that's captivated the nation, is speaking out from prison for the first time since the show's debut. steven avery wrote a three-page letter to an affiliate to saying the real killer is still out there, who is he stalking now? avery is serving a life sentence for the 2005 murder of teresa halbach. he previously served 18 years in prison for a rape he did not commit. and was in the middle of a $36 million civil lawsuit against the sheriff's department for that wrongful conviction when halbach was killed. his defense attorneys claim avery was framed by the local count sheriff's department because of that multimillion-dollar lawsuit. >> how many times will steven

>> reporter: also included in his letter, comments on an hln interview from his ex-girlfriend. >> what do you want people to know? >> the truth. >> which is? >> what a monster he is. and he's not innocent. >> he suggested that the state must have gotten to her and paid her off to get her to say bad things about him. >> reporter: meanwhile, avery's new attorney tweeting she visited her client and reviewed his 38 boxes of files adding, he remains innocent and framed. telling "the new york times" that she'll present new evidence in court. his former defense attorney telling abc news, while he sometimes question his innocence he believes the legal system failed him. >> a big part of me worries he might be guilty. if convicting people on maybes, or possiblies is how this system worked, that's great.

the back and gone out for beer. but that's not how the system is supposed to work. >> one of the local sheriff's deputies who has been accused of possibly planting evidence against avery has spoken out, be careful what you wish for. if steven avery is ever freed he might just become your neighbor. robin. >> thank you, linsey. more from dan abrams, and nancy grace joining us from atlanta. good to have you both here with us. you both have gone over the evidence and you feel that avery is guilty. but nancy, what do you make of the letter he recently wrote? >> well, i'm not surprised about the letter and i find it interesting that he's actually quoting under the bible. he'll be set free by the truth. the truth in my mind is what convicted to start with. what i found to be the most compelling evidence of all,

bones, all of them, 270-plus bones in his fire pit, burned within the steel radials of a tire, that was burned there. it's called sweat dna. steven avery's sweat dna -- it's touch dna. his sweat dna. of course there's no dna in sweat. but, blood cells, skin cells come out in your sweat and that's under her hood latch, there's no known way to extract sweat from a human, like -- you can force someone to give their blood, their hair, their fingerprints, they're walking their speech, but not their sweat. his sweater is under her car hood. how could that have been planted? it could not. >> you feel that the evidence is overwhelming. dan, we heard from linsey's report, he has a new lawyer. who is very, very good. chef says she has new evidence.

more than just this witness now is re-evaluating this juror, is now rethinking to get a new trial, remember this has worked its way up through the wisconsin courts already. the wisconsin supreme court has already heard this and rejected this. she'll need something new that can literally prove to some degree by convincing evidence that either the evidence was planted or that someone else did it. and that's not going to be easy when you got all of this evidence. so, one new question about a police officer isn't going to be enough to get him a new trial. she'll literally need a convincing piece of evidence. >> he's right. he's right. that's been argued so many times, newly-discovered evidence. another prong to newly-discovered evidence it could not have been discoverable at the time of the trial. it has to be new. dan was correctly describing the juror rethinking, while another

slept like a quote, baby, the night that steven avery was convicted and if he got out and they would be quote sick. i take offense with steven avery jumping up from behind bars and saying she was paid to say he was a monster. >> let's talk about that. >> i didn't pay him. >> this is her -- this is his ex-girlfriend who was on nancy's show talking about the fact that she felt that he's a monster now. someone who's depicted in the documentary as being sympathetic to him. just another person who's trying to falselile convict him and now a whole list of them. the defense attorney said it just takes one person. >> lot of people are aware of this of course because of the documentary. public opinion, it shouldn't play a factor at all, but does it, nancy? >> hey, if public opinion

murder. i think that says it all. >> it gets a judge to look more carefully at the case. i don't think it will change it. >> dan always, nancy good to see you. thanks so much. >> bye, guys. thank you, coming up here on "gma," an abc news exclusive, the supermom caught on camera fighting a carjackers while her kids were trapped inside. now, she's speaking out about those terrifying moments. starin' at it by malibu n helene stand out. by design. that feeling recaptured. by design. increase speed, full throttle!

years ago. where have you found this peace and contentment? >> my life will change and it will evolve as i get older and i'm accepting that, instead of fighting against it, and that kind of letting go, i think, does start to begin to feel like peace. >> and her peace is infectious. her new show "sensitive skin" is critically acclaimed. season two will be rolling out later this year, something that kim is fiercely proud of. she's got other ideas for projects she's hoping to get going. kim cattrall isn't waiting for the phone to ring. she's making calls herself. >> instead of talking the calls but making the calls. i'm happy for her. she seems at peace. >> very, very happy and empowering about women. >> it's not just in hollywood but just in society, getting older, it's just viewed a certain way. and as the saying goes, it beats

>> individuals are presenting with individuals who are also at their same level of rating. >> i know everything. >> reporter: a journalist uncovered the truth, only one who knows his rating. you get a sense of how many people are swiping right on you but also how many folks find you disposable disposable. >> reporter: tinder told austin his rating when he was writing about the app for the magazine "fast company." >> my score came out to 946. >> desirability is far more nuanced. than kwlo someone is physically lyly attractive or not. >> reporter: the average they say is about 800. so chin up, austin. most of us will never ever known. >> tinder users can't learn their desirability measure because it's constantly changing. >> reporter: would you want to know? would you? be honest. for "good morning america," nick watt, abc news, los angeles. >> who would want to know at the table?

although he never smoked he was diagnosed with lung cancer, stage 4. can happen, you know when you're a doctor, you see that day in and day out. we sort of had this feeling of, oh, my gosh, it's our turn now. >> reporter: how did cancer change your relationship? >> after he got diagnosed i said what do you need from me? do you want to travel with your brothers? do you want me to help you accomplish something that doesn't include me? and for him to say, no, i want to be with you in our house, i want to go back to our honeymoon destination. it was so romantic and amazing. >> reporter: paul wanted to chronicle his final days in a memoir called "when breath becomes air." now a "the new york times" best-seller. that wasn't the only legacy he would leave behind. he and lucy decided to have a

>> i asked him, don't you think that having a child to say good-bye to will make your death more painful, and his answer really astounded me, wouldn't it be great if it did? what he meant by that, if a child brings such a degree of meaning that it becomes even more painful to leave -- >> better to have experienced that meaning and that level of love. >> yeah, and when she was born, we were so thrilled and his book title is "when breath becomes air." i look back for her that was the moment that air became breath. >> there is perhaps only one thing to say to this infant who is all future, overlapping briefly with me whose life barring the improbable has all but passed. that message is simple -- you filled a dying man's days with joy, a joy unknown to me in all of my prior years. a joy does not hunger for more and more.
