Making a Murderer‘s upcoming second season just got a nice promotional boost: Brendan Dassey, whose murder conviction was documented in the Netflix hit, is about to be a free man.
According to court documents, “investigators repeatedly claimed to already know what happened …
and assured Dassey that he had nothing to worry about.”
A federal judge in Milwaukee on Friday overturned Dassey’s conviction, ordering that he be released from custody “unless, within 90 days of the date of this decision, the State initiates proceedings to retry him.”
