Ken Kratz, the district attorney whose successful prosecution of Wisconsin man Steven Avery for a 2005 killing is the subject of the Netflix's Making A Murderer, is writing a book "to tell the whole story," he said Sunday.

The documentary has drawn viewers around the world, many of who believe Avery was the subject of a conspiracy by law enforcement officials to lock him up. At the time of his 2005 arrest for the murder of Teresa Halbach, the Manitowoc County man was suing officials after he was wrongfully imprisoned for 18 years on a sexual assault charge.

Kratz, the former district attorney of Calumet County, told WBAY-TV he decided to write a book “because the one voice forgotten to this point is Teresa Halbach.”

“Finally grateful to tell the whole story,” he said.

Angry viewers have previously inundated Kratz's Yelp page with a flood of negative reviews and comments.

“Well over 90% are insulting, filled with profanity, and at least half hope some personal tragedy befalls me and/or my family,” the attorney told BuzzFeed News in December. “Very troubling.”

Kratz alleges that the filmmakers left out forensic evidence from the documentary.

He resigned as district attorney in 2010 over a scandal involving sexually explicit text messages he sent to a domestic violence victim while he served as the prosecutor in her case.
