A federal judge is holding off a decision on whether to throw out a civil lawsuit against Netflix over “Making a Murderer.”
Retired detective Andrew Colburn accuses the streaming company and filmmakers of defaming him. The series covered the cases of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey.
Netflix’s lawyers argue Colburn can’t prove he was defamed.
A judge might hold an evidentiary hearing on the request to dismiss the lawsuit.
