Huge news in the world of true crime. Making a Murderer returns to Netflix for Part 2. It’s been almost three years since the first batch of episodes premiered and a lot of things have happened regarding Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey. Steven Avery continues to fight for a new trail with the help of his new attorney, Kathleen Zellner, who believes she has found new DNA evidence to overturn the conviction. However, in late 2017, Avery was refused a new trial. On the other hand, Brendan Dassey gained a little more traction towards freedom. In 2016, a federal magistrate judge ruled that Dassey was coerced into his confession and ordered him to be released. However, after a lengthy appeals process, circuit court upheld Dassey’s conviction 4-3 in December 2017. Long story short, both Avery and Dassey remain in prison.
That being said, I can’t wait to return to Manitowoc County to learn more about this case. I remember binging this show over Christmas break in 2015. I need these cast of characters back in my life.

Feed me the snake that is Ken Kratz.
Get me back into the home of Dolores and Allan Avery.
AND WILL SOMEONE GET BRENDAN DASSEY TO WRESTLEMANIA!
As a surprise to no one, the state of Wisconsin has decided to appeal the the overturned conviction of Brendan Dassey in the murder of Teresa Halbach. Here’s what I would say to Wisconsin:

Screw you, Wiscy court system. Let Brendan go. I obviously watched Making A Murder. One of the best documentary’s I have ever seen. I believe that Steven Avery is innocent, but I could see your argument if you thought he was guilty. He stalked Halbach and was a weird guy around her and that’s just a fact. I still don’t think there was enough evidence to convict him and it was definitely a witch hunt to just blame it on the outsider of Manitowoc County.
But if you think Brendan Dassey knowingly killed Teresa Halbach, then you’re on banana land! There is ABSOLUTELY NO SHOT that this poor kid could hurt a fly, let alone murder an innocent woman. No fucking shot he did this. At least Steven had good legal counsel from the getko. Brendan did NOT stand a chance in the case thanks to this man, Len Kachinsky.

Kick rocks, Len. The fact that you tried to get this poor, scared, and mentally unstable kid to confess to a murder he didn’t commit is baffling and a fucking sin. What lawyer tells their client to take a deal and plead guilty from the very beginning?………. I’m still waiting. I’ll tell you who, an idiot does that. It’s a goddamn shame that Dassey is in jail.
I understand that Making A Murderer really only took one side of the spectrum. Avery and Dassey were the innocent and the prosecution were the enemy. I totally get that. I did my own research and saw some of the stuff that was not in the documentary. Avery threatened his ex wife and family, he wrote threatening letters, and two of the calls that Halbach received the day of her murder were *67, leading some to believe it was Avery. Taking all of this in, whether you believe Avery did it or not, Avery did not get a fair trial from the start.

But once again, Dassey got taken down with Avery after he was bullied into confessing something he didn’t do. Everyone and their mother could tell that Brendan is mentally unstable and truly is a puppy dog. He will say anything to avoid confrontation, and as fucked up as it is, he will say that he took part in a murder. But I’m glad that a judge in today’s society overturned his conviction because that judge had a brain and a pair of eyes and could see that Brendan was innocent. Praying that this kid gets out and once that domino falls, Steven Avery will get out of prison, too.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST MOVE OUT OF MANITOWOC WHEN YOU GET OUT!!!!
