A US judge has ordered the immediate prison release of Brendan Dassey, whose case featured in Netflix's Making a Murderer documentary.
The Wisconsin man's murder conviction was overturned this summer, however, prosecutors are appealing.
The 27-year-old, who has learning difficulties, and his uncle Steven Avery were convicted of murdering a young woman, Teresa Halbach, in 2005.
Avery and Dassey, who was 16 at the time, were sentenced to life in prison.

Guilty.
There was NO evidence that was remotely possible in linking him to the death of that girl in my opinion. And the nephew was a throw in to the whole debacle. The detectives and the Prosecutor should get jail time for this case...a complete miscarriage of justice.
Could have been planted, I would put nothing beyond this PD. They HATED Avery and, remember, framed him in a previous case.
her car hidden in his junkyard,
Could have been planted. One of the cops read out the license plate numbers over the radio days before as if he was looking at the car. Searchers were directed to the area where the car was found.
car keys in his dresser are not evidence?
I think they were found on the floor of his bedroom, after the 6th search.
“There was NO evidence that was remotely possible in linking him to the death of that girl in my opinion.”
Well, let’s see... her car on his property, her camera and cell phone in his burn barrel, her bone/skull fragments in his burn barrel...
but other than that, sure, no evidence at all.
Avery probably killed her. I think the evidence you site points that way. I do find the finding of the keys after multiple searches odd, though.
But that kid’s coerced confession didn’t line up with the physical evidence. If they had cut her throats in that mess of a room, there would have been physical evidence.
Those detectives took advantage of a mentally deficient 16 year old and got him to say what they wanted to hear. And they did it without his guardian’s knowledge. the kid never had a chance, legally.
Well, I guess if you believe that multiple law enforcement personnel engaged in a heinous conspiracy to murder an innocent woman in order to frame an innocent man then I guess it’s possible.
Possibly.
The victim ID'd him. Is it possible that they truly thought that he was guilty and he wasn't framed but wrongly convicted?
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
Not exactly. However, in the case where they demonstrably framed him there was a conspiracy to frame an innocent man.
I'm not saying Avery is innocent but the evidence in the case was very shakey. The cops had a murder on their hands. It looked like they could pin it on Avery, and they did, just like the previous case they pinned on him.
There were other suspects.
In the first case, they saw a way to rid themselves of a lot of headaches. I'm sure the rationale was, "maybe he did it, maybe he didn't, but he did a lot of other stuff we couldn't get him for." Victims can be "encouraged" to make a positive ID.
My best guess is the cops framed a guilty man.
I absolutely think Avery did it, but I also think some of those cops planted evidence “just to make sure” he was convicted.
For Dassey, the prosecutor and his attorney deserve jail time more than he did. He may have been an accomplice, but the way they coerced that confession was nothing short of criminal.
Yup. I agree on all points.
What amazes me is that those who are advocating for this kid are basing their outrage on a documentary film.
Again, multiple, psychopathic LEOs engaged in a truly evil, decades long conspiracy that no one leaked anything about or small town, inexperienced law enforcement and an agenda driven movie.
