plommer Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/12/us/making-a-murderer-brendan-dassey-conviction-overturned/index.html The conviction of Brendan Dassey, a Wisconsin man who appeared in the documentary "Making a Murderer," has been overturned by a federal judge in Milwaukee, according to court documents obtained by CNN. Dassey was convicted in 2007 in the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. In overturning the conviction, the judge cited the manner in which a confession was obtained from Dassey, who according to court documents has a low IQ. Prosecutors have 90 days to bring Dassey, now 26, to trial again or he will be released. His uncle, Steven Avery, the subject of "Making a Murderer," is in a Wisconsin prison also serving time for Halbach's murder. https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/80000770 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRevolver Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I believe he was also underage? It was pathetic how those detectives were drilling this guy, and basically feeding him all the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plommer Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Those detectives had an easy time of it. I think a gas station attendant could have gotten a confession just as easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. He denied it, until the detectives kept pounding him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepy Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Blame it on the retarded guy because it's easy to get convictions. Just like when the cops steal poker players money. And people wonder why cops are hated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokerjoe Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just re-watched the episode where the detectives interrogated the kid. Wow. Sickening. Yet those detectives will keep their jobs. As will the super-douche prosecutor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVU Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Is it 100% the kid isn't really guilty? I say it's about 75%. He never had a shot with the questioning though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Call Heads Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 It's possible that the kid was involved and might have raped her and helped dispose of the body. That is pure sepculation. They had nothing on him and his attorneys were working with the prosecution. He had no representation. It is unreal that the Wisconsin Supreme Court watched those tapes and upheld the verdict. The whole thing was a joke even if he was involved somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plommer Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 U.S. judge orders ‘Making a Murderer’ inmate be released by Friday MADISON, WIS.—A federal judge has ordered that a man convicted in the case featured in the Netflix series Making a Murderer must be released from prison by Friday evening. U.S. Magistrate Judge William Duffin overturned Brendan Dassey’s conviction in August, saying investigators tricked Brendan Dassey into confessing he helped his uncle, Steven Avery, rape, kill and mutilate photographer Teresa Halbach in 2005. State attorneys have been arguing he should remain in prison while they pursue an appeal. Duffin ordered him released Monday. The state Justice Department asked Duffin on Tuesday to stay his ruling, but Duffin issued an order Wednesday saying Dassey must be released by 8 p.m. Friday. https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2016/11/16/us-judge-orders-making-a-murderer-inmate-be-released-by-friday.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 It was actually kinda funny when Brendan asked the cops if he could go back to school after confessing to a murder. Those two detectives (and a few others on the force) wouldn't be alive today if any of that's kids relatives had any sense of righteousness. When I first watched the series I thought Steven might have killed some of the cops and/or lawyers that wrongly imprisoned him for 18 fucking years after he was released. I'd be pretty tempted. .
