Avery’s nephew Brendan Dassey was convicted of allegedly helping his uncle commit the crimes and then cover up the evidence.
Brendan Dassey wound up in the spotlight back in 2015 when the docu-series Making a Murderer was released on Netflix.
Dassey’s conviction was the source of a great deal of controversy, and his case may head to the Supreme Court next.
The ten-part series chronicled the case of Steven Avery, who was wrongfully convicted of rape and incarcerated for 18 years before being exonerated, then later convicted for the rape and murder of a photographer.
