This will excite Making a Murderer fans in Northern Ireland.

Mr Bunting is in town.

The American Criminal Defence Attorney and star of hit Netflix documentary series is acting as guest speaker at the Academic Programme of the European Young Bar Association Conference at Ten Square Hotel.

Jerry is one of the defence attorneys in the case of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man cleared of rape after serving 18 years in jail, only to be convicted for murder.

Mr Buting expressed his excitement about the Belfast event;

“Having dedicated my life to the legal profession, I am grateful to be able to help young lawyers in any way I can. I’m acutely aware of the challenges facing young lawyers in today’s world, so I’m always keen to pass on any useful advice I may have received over the years. Belfast is a wonderful city which has really progressed in recent years, and, in addition, I have family ties in Co.Antrim so I’m genuinely excited for the event and trip to Northern Ireland.”

Siobhan McGarry from Daytime on Downtown Radio spoke to him on the telephone this morning.
