YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBrendan Dassey, who was featured on Netflix’s popular “Making A Murderer” documentary series, recently had a major breakthrough in his case. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"A federal judge in Wisconsin overturned the conviction of Brendan Dassey, a young man whose story gained national attention through the Netflix documentary series “Making a Murderer,” and ordered him to be released within 90 days unless prosecutors file an appeal.
The judge’s 91-page opinion concludes that Dassey’s constitutional rights were violated by the way investigators handled the case.
Dassey was 16 years old when he confessed to helping his uncle, Steven Avery, kill a young woman named Teresa Halbach. He was ultimately sentenced on homicide and sexual assault charges in the case in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.
“Making a Murderer,” a 10-episode series that aired on Netflix last fall, revisits the Halbach case and paints a sympathetic picture of both Dassey and Avery. The filmmakers suggest the pair may have gotten an unfair trial — particularly Dassey, who has an intellectual disability and who was questioned without his lawyer present. Footage shows Dassey being manipulated by investigators into potentially giving a false confession.”*
