Yet another successful prediction on my part.

Brendan Dassey, who was convicted along with his uncle, Steven Avery, in the murder of Teresa Halbach, had that conviction overturned Friday by a federal magistrate judge in Milwaukee.

The shocking ruling, in a case made famous in the Netflix series “Making A Murderer,” could result in Dassey getting a new trial or being freed from prison. It gives prosecutors 90 days to decide whether to retry Dassey, although an appeal could extend the proceedings.

In his 91-page decision, U.S. Magistrate Judge William Duffin was highly critical of investigators, Dassey’s pretrial attorney and the state courts on how they handled the case, concluding that Dassey’s constitutional rights were violated. He found that the prosecutor’s investigators made false promises to Dassey during multiple interrogations.
Just had to rub that in. :D
 
His conviction was overturned - it's not the same as not guilty. The State can decide to try him again. If he had been found not guilty, this would be a violation of the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment.

The appellate's court ruling that the confession was illegally obtained will make a very tough case for the State since it was basically the only evidence they had. It will be interesting to see if they decide to pursue charges a second time.
