Saw this series during the holidays, and am currently rewatching it.

It is obviously one side of a story, and lacking the other narrative is incomplete.

That said, I am somewhat, actually more than somewhat ,disturbed with the interrogations of young Mr. Dassey

He has been under lock and key from the moment he was pulled from class in 2006.

"What happened to her head Brendan?"

Uh, he cut her hair?

I have seen many a case here in Texas that were set aside due to clinical mental retardation.

He seems to actually fit the mold as opposed to the lawyering that routinely affects our justice system.

I know that in many states it is illegal for the police to even talk to a minor without either a lawyer or a parent or guardian present during the questioning.

Regardless of guilt or innocence this kid was ill served by the judicial system from start to finish.

I am adamant with my wife, and will be with my children once they become teenagers, ‘you do not talk to the police. PERIOD. they are not your friends’ If a police officer wants to talk to you about some sort of illegal activity and you didn't call him about it, request a lawyer first!

Mister Retarted was able to play teen and mature rated video games on his Xbox.

He knew riht where those bleed stained pants were!

Worse yet, HIS OWN LAWYER had an investigator force out a confession.
