....eek, I know this is probably a horrid thing to feel but I'm still a bit conflicted with this in that, that I still think about that image of Brendan smiling at the prison window and the first time seeing him smile and had he found something there that his life and family had never given...had prison become a better 'family' for him...the words of his attorney..'that's the focus, getting him back with his family right now'...anyway it looks as though it's not completely clear yet, that he definitely will be released or if he has already, I can't find that update....only this DM article from a few days ago...

I knew he was guilty all along

All the time the programme was going on, you get so into it. Having a break and then coming back to it is probably a good thing because it means we are going to listen more to both sides.

I would of shouted INNOCENT from the roof tops, but after watching the video you linked (thanks for that Niamh) I'm not so sure. The only thing I would say is, its high functioning psychopaths that get away with heinous crimes like this. Avery doesn't come over as all that bright, so even with the best lawyers in the county/country, you wouldn't of thought he could cover this up as long as he has.

Well he hasnt really covered it up tbf, he is in prison for it

plus according to that link I posted he admitted it to his cell mate. I doubt the cell mate has anything to gain from making it up, they're not going to offer him a reduced sentence when Steve Avery is already convicted for the crime

Today is set to be a big day in determining the future of Brendan Dassey

Dassey has remained in prison since a homicide conviction was overturned last year.
Lawyers working on behalf of Brendan Dassey will make a case for his release from prison in front of a federal appeals court in Chicago on Tuesday.

In 2007, Dassey, the nephew of Steven Avery, was convicted of raping and killing Teresa Halbach and sentenced to life in prison in a case made famous by the 2015 Netflix documentary series, Making a Murderer.

In August of last year, a federal judge in Milwaukee overturned a conviction of murder in relation to the death of Teresa Halbach in 2005, arguing that Dassey was coerced into a confession by investigators.

Shortly before he was due to be released from prison, however, a federal appeals court in the United States blocked his release despite the fact that his homicide conviction had been overturned.

State attorneys subsequently called for a full review of the case and the interrogation techniques used by police officials and Dassey has remained in prison since.

According to TIME, all 12 judges of the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago will hear oral arguments in the Dassey case on Tuesday, with lawyers acting on behalf of Dassey and state attorneys expected to speak and to answer the questions of judges for approximately 30 minutes each.

A ruling in the case involving Dassey, now 27, may not arrive for weeks or months.

The events surrounding Halbach’s death and the subsequent sentencing of Avery and Dassey was documented in the Netflix series Making a Murderer, which Netflix have confirmed will return for a second season later this year.

I was reading about this yesterday but I saw something saying the result wont be for months

I still say Dassey should never have been sent to prison regardless of his involvement or validity of his confession. Assuming the entire narrative is true, he was a vulnerable child forced to commit a horrendous crime by a manipulative family member. He has significant learning difficulties, a very low IQ, and other mental health issues alongside... IF we can assume that Avery is guilty, then in my opinion, Brendan is another of his victims - not a co-conspirator. He should have been placed in a secure facility until it could be assessed whether or not he was actually dangerous (when not influenced by others); not prison. If deemed not suitable to be back in public due being vulnerable to being influenced by others, then a secure, monitored semi-independent living facility ongoing.

I agree with this.

Yeah I agree with this. I do believe Brendans confession was correct (although not how he was handled by his own lawyer and the officers involved) but like you I believe he was also a victim of Steve Averys (there was also the mention of sexual abuse by Brendan in a conversation to his mother)
