Appeals court rules ‘Making a Murderer’ confession not coerced

On Friday, the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago reinstated the confession of Brendan Dassey, 28, of Wisconsin, subject of the Netflix documentary “Making a Murderer.” Charges in Dassey’s case had been dropped in 2016 after a Milwaukee federal judge declared a past murder confession was illegally coerced. Dassey had confessed to helping his uncle Steven Avery rape and kill Wisconsin photographer Teresa Halbach in 2005, and was subsequently convicted in 2007. Dassey’s life sentence will remain in effect; his lawyers say they will appeal the case to the US Supreme Court.
