Making A Murderer Beefcake Jerry Buting Is Writing A Book

Buting, along with fellow heartthrob Dean Strang, became popular after the miniseries’ conclusion because of their deft courtroom manner and commitment to justice. They’ve amassed a (largely female) fanbase which Strang’s wife has described as “baffling”.

Buting announced his book via Twitter, with this cute tweet:

Excited to do book. Lots to say about who I am & why I’m crim def atty. Love my career, every day. Avery only one of many interesting cases

— Jerome Buting (@JButing) March 8, 2016

Crim def atty. Be still my beating heart. The book is reported to delve into the Steven Avery case – which you’ve likely argued about at 1:30am in a pub somewhere – but will also cover “dysfunction in the criminal justice system on a broader scale”. Regardless of your take on whether Avery did the crime (he did, come on) there was still a deeply rank and unjust police investigation and prosecution, so Buting clearly has a lot of insight.

Despite some speculation, Buting says this book is not a response to recent comments in the media from Avery prosecutor Ken Kratz – who was majorly dragged in the doco – but rather the culmination of Buting’s experiences over a 35 year law career.

Expect a release in 2017.
