‘Making a Murderer’ Turns 10: What’s the Latest on Steven Avery & Brendan Dassey?
Steven Avery pursues federal appeal after state denials while Brendan Dassey’s conviction stands with possible supervised release in 2048, officials said.
- Steven Avery, 63, and Brendan Dassey, 36, are serving life sentences for killing Teresa Halbach, and Avery is pursuing federal appeals after the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined review this May.
- Long ago, Steven Avery was wrongfully convicted in 1985, served 18 years, freed by DNA evidence in 2003, and arrested just over two years later in Teresa Halbach's disappearance in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.
- Brendan Dassey, then 16, confessed to sexually assaulting Teresa Halbach on Avery's orders and helping kill and burn her body, a confession he later recanted, while prosecutors cited forensic evidence including Halbach’s car with blood droplets and bone fragments in a burn pit.
- Legal setbacks left Brendan Dassey with limited options while he may be eligible for supervision in 2048 after a 4-3 Seventh District Court of Appeals reinstatement and U.S. Supreme Court denial.
- Public attention from the documentary has sustained debate over wrongful conviction claims as Steven Avery has repeatedly sought to overturn his conviction, writing in March to the Wisconsin Supreme Court that the system is broken.
