Looks like there’s more bad news for Making A Murderer’s Brendan Dassey

Poor Brendan!

We all thought freedom was right around the corner.

But, it turns out that’s not likely for Brendan Dassey anymore.

The man, who appeared on Netflix’s Making A Murderer, had his ruling overturned throughout the year… but now, it has been repealed.

He and his legal team had the motion for his release declined by a US appeals court.

Brendan was only 16-years-old when he was convicted, and then this year, at the age of 28, after his conviction was overturned, a Chicago court house found he was interviewed properly by police and his confession of murder was not forced.

If you remember watching the series, Brendan, was brought into the police station on his own, without a parent or guardian, when he answered those questions.

Last year, a court in Wisconsin found that Dassey had been tricked into confessing, with the judge saying that Dassey has a low IQ, and was easily coerced.

There was also no legal representation for him and he changed his story multiple times.
