Making a Murderer’s Brendan Dassey Set Free

Making a Murderer was one of the most popular shows on Netflix over the past 12 months and now we’re seeing something come of the documentary. The show covered what was shown as two men being set-up by local police and now one of those men has seen their conviction overturned. Brendan Dassey, the younger of the two men convicted of killing Teresa Halbach in 2005, was the one set free on Friday.

Steven Avery, the older one of the two, was unlawfully in prison for 18 years before being released in 2003. It was just two years later that trouble followed him and he was eventually convicted of murder. We’ll see what comes next of Avery if anything, but it is nice to see justice come for Brendan Dassey.
