Judge rules that Brendan Dassey can go free
The homicide case was made famous by the Netflix series “Making A Murderer”.
Brenday Dassey, along with his uncle Steve Avery, were convicted of the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach in October 2005. He must also provide by Tuesday an address of where he’ll live.
For many who watched Making a Murderer, the coercion was very apparent and incredibly frustrating to watch.
“Dassey’s family is concentrated in northeastern Wisconsin”.
UPDATE: Zellner does not appear to be anxious that Schimel will prevent Dassey’s release. Wisconsin’s attorney general had asked that Dassey not be released pending the appeal. In 2007, he was sentenced to life in prison with no parole. State Attorney General Brad Schimel plans to attempt to prevent Dassey’s release, according to Milwaukee’s Journal Sentinel. In what is widely seen as a gross miscarriage of justice, in 2008 Dassey was convicted of aiding his uncle, Steven Avery, in the murder of Teresa Halbach.
Charred remains belonging to Halbach, a photographer for Auto Trader Magazine, were found at Avery’s vehicle salvage yard a week after she went there to photograph a minivan for sale.
The judge ordered Dassey be released as soon as probation officers approve where he was going to live and “completed whatever additional investigation it deems necessary”.
Despite today’s ruling, Dassey will not be released and immediately and will be forced to submit to a number of conditions, Fox 11 News reported. He is not allowed to obtain a passport, possess a firearm, destructive device, or other unsafe weapon, now shall he use or possess any controlled substances unless prescribed.
Steven Avery was also convicted of rape, murder and mutilation of a corpse in 2006 and remains in prison.
He is pursuing his own appeal for his conviction.
Since the hit TV series Making A Murderer was released onto Netflix the world can not seem to get enough of the Steven Avery case.
However, former Wisconsin state prosecutor Ken Kratz reprimanded the series, which appeared to point to Avery’s innocence. Authorities involved in the case have called the 10-hour series biased, while the filmmakers have stood by their work. A federal judge in Wisconsin has set Dassey free under supervision.
