Making A Murderer": Dassey attorneys working to secure his release
Source: WBAY
Attorneys for Brendan Dassey say they are working to get their client released from prison following a bombshell court ruling affirming that Dassey's confession to the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach was coerced by Manitowoc County investigators.
On Thursday, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling overturning Dassey's 1st Degree Intentional Homicide conviction in the case that was featured in the Netflix docu-series "Making A Murderer."
Action 2 News has obtained the ruling from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirming Judge William Duffin's ruling in a 2-1 vote. The majority of the three-judge panel agreed with Duffin that Dassey's confession was involuntary.
The decision could set in motion the release of Brendan Dassey from prison after 10 years behind bars. Dassey and his uncle Steven Avery were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of freelance photographer Halbach on Halloween of 2005.
The majority opinion states, "Dassey's interview could be viewed in a psychology class as a perfect example of operant conditioning."
