In closing arguments, defense lawyer Dean Strang had told jurors their verdict could "set a lot of things right" for Avery because of his previous wrongful conviction.

"The 1985 case won't matter so much anymore if justice is done this time," he said.

But special prosecutor Ken Kratz said it was "absolutely improper" for the defense to ask jurors to take the old case into account.
