Anyone watching "Making a Murderer Part 2"? Spoiler alert

It is about both Steven Avery and his cousin Brendan Dassey. It is blowing my mind how many times that Dassey is supposed to get out of jail only to find out some AG files something new and he has to stay in jail. They even come to the decision that his confession was obtained illegally and that was all the only evidence against him and yet they still have him in jail!

He was 16 when he gave the confession, (and the police gave him all the details that he had to admit to) and he also only has an IQ of 81. So he was a disabled 16 year old.

I forget the AG's name but he is a rethug.

...and continues to do so because it's easier to let them rot in prison than it is to admit that mistakes were made and correct them...

Dacey's original lawyer was totally incompetent and surely in bed with the prosecution and Wisconsin political establishment. His new lawyer was extremely good and really opened my eyes with new evidence that proved Dacey's innocence.

I think if Dacey's conviction had been overturned, Avery's case dissolved as well. The political establishment couldn't have that and made it pretty clear that no amount of evidence exonerating Avery/Dacey would change their minds.

and were supposedly never before on the property found it so quickly considering how big the property was and how many cars were on it. The person who made the video says they hear someone in the background saying, "There's the car" when Officer Colbern called and asked them to run her license plate number. (I don't know where he got the number from if he wasn't by the car as he said......the woman found it the next day)
