that either the ed 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 juror has told us that they slept like a quote, baby the night that steven avery was convicted and if he got out and they would be quote 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.
7:37 am
>> 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 snow. someone who's depicted in the documentary as being simp thet take him. just another person who's trying to falsely steven avery 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 counted o.j. simpson would have been behind bars on double murder. >> 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 "good morning america" -- the supermom caught on camera
