It's a good thing they are keeping him locked up. He has probably killed three or four women in the surrounding counties while he's been behind bars.

No shock there. The AG had no choice. He's between a rock and a rock. It'll be interesting if he's out by mid-December. Those interviews will be epic.

"Um............yeah."

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

He was to be released by December if the state didn't appeal, which they did. Now he'll be in custody until after the appeal, although his lawyers did just file a motion requesting that he be released on bond during the appeals process:

CNN - 'Making a Murderer's' Brendan Dassey released from prison

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Just making sure the details are clear and I'm not misreading that article:

His conviction was overturned.

The State is appealing the overturn ruling.

He isn't exactly "free" - rather he was RORed for the duration of the appeal.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Hey, that's still way better than prison. :up:

He's got a lot of Wrestlemania DVDs to work through in the meantime.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

And considering how unlikely the prosecution will win an appeal, he's likely not returning to prison.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

According to GMA, the State actually plans on retrying him if they lose their appeal.

Wonder if Trump will pardon him? ;)

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

They're also unlikely to win a retrial, since the only "evidence" they had on him was the "confession," which has been thrown out.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

I don't disagree. I'm wondering one of two things, either "What is there that we don't know?" OR "Just how damned stupid/egotistical is the State's Attorney?"

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Appeals court denied his release. This poor kid is getting as screwed as the West Memphis Three.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

As I said months ago, the Justice Dept. needs to take over. WI is violating the shit out of this kid's civil rights. There is ZERO chance of a conviction. No physical evidence. No confession. They have nothing. This is pure save face action and its bullshit.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

This was the Seventh District, Feds, that denied his release. I agree with you, and read the judges case citations for his release, unfortunately of the 4 cases he cited, 3 convictions were upheld. They were also pretty ugly interrogations.

Newsweek story

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

^Wow. It'll be interesting to see where this goes, now.

That is, assuming they'll accept that this evidence justifies a new trial.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Thanks for the update DthRdrX.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

No problem.

Cliff notes: Two members of the family have, or are, spending time in jail over this case. Now lawyers believe it's the other brother Bobby, who testified against Avery, that actually planned and committed the murder. In short: Probably the worst police work I've ever heard of in my life.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Man, this case. Can't believe Brendan Dassey is still in prison. Thought he was cleared for a new trial months ago. What a shitshow this case is.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

The second I saw that in the show my spidey sense told me he was involved.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

To be clear, the defense lawyers also implicate the ex-boyfriend. They're more about establishing reasonable doubt about their client than trying to definitively prove who the "real killer" was.

Re: "Making a Murderer" -- Netflix documentary series
 

Yea, they have quite a few point to consider regarding evidence in the case. I know the Netflix show was heavily slanted regarding the police toward Avery and his family, but I wonder if they investigated the boyfriend at all.

I'm also curious about the "new witness". I believe that witness came forward in 2016 regarding the car.
