Attorneys for Brendan Dassey say they are working to get their client released from prison following a bombshell court ruling affirming that Dassey's confession to the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach was coerced by Manitowoc County investigators.
and a statement from DOJ
The Wisconsin Department of Justice tells Action 2 News, "We are evaluating the 2-1 decision from the court. We anticipate seeking review by the entire 7th Circuit or the United States Supreme Court and hope that today’s erroneous decision will be reversed. We continue to send our condolences to the Halbach family as they have to suffer through another attempt by Mr. Dassey to re-litigate his guilty verdict and sentence."
I have said from the beginning that I can't believe the State took Brendan's confession and told her parent's and family that narrative of how she died with absolutely ZERO evidence to back up any of their "story". I hope that even if the Halbach's believe that BD had something to do with the murder of TH, that they can take the words of the 2 judges in this ruling and hope that it didn't happen the way the State told them it did because of the obviously unreliable confession of a 16 yr old intellectually disabled child that was telling 2 horrible LE officers what they wanted to hear.

I asked in the other thread before it closed, if anyone knows, if the March 1st search warrant will now be invalid since they used BD's "confession" to obtain that search warrant? Is it "fruit of the poisonous tree"?
Seems to me that every time they lose its "an erroneous decision". They just don't get it. Everyone is wrong EXCEPT for them.
Didn't they say Duffin's decision was erroneous too and the 7th Circuit would set things straight? IMO, they did set things straight.

I have read most of the decision... I have been thinking about it as I'm cooking supper, and had to come ask if anyone knows...
IF BD's confession is involuntary, and the search warrant on March 1st was obtained because of information that Brendan provided in that interview, is that search warrant no longer valid? and would that mean anything from that search would be "fruit from the poisonous tree"?
Hi Missy, I haven't had time to read the opinion. Have been pretty busy lately but will take a look at it this weekend.thanks shadowraiths!
I was looking through the other BD thread, after Duffin's ruling, I had the same question! So many questions in these cases.
Have you read the decision shadowraiths? I would be interested in your opinion I feel a bit "invested" in these cases now.
Yes, that's where I stand too. That is, 100% sure BD is innocent. I still question SA's innocence but will comment on the other thread when I have time.At first, I was happy and excited for Brendan. I know it's not over for him though, and there will be appeals, whether the full 7th Circuit hears the case, or it goes to the Supreme Court, it's all going to take time. To see 2 more judges agree with Duffin is a great though, I have never been 100% sure of SA, but I have always been 100% sure that BD is innocent and was just a pawn in this whole situation, the sacrificial lamb.
I totally agree. The whole torture/rape scenario is obscene. Again, I think that scenario came from Kratz dark mind. I totally wish they would have sanctioned him for the way he treated Ms. Halbach's family by giving that awful press conference but it is what it is.It still angers me that the State used Brendan's confession as their narrative to tell Teresa's family. Her death was bad enough, but to give them a story that a 16 yr old child made up to appease the investigators sickens me. My thoughts are with them today, but my thoughts are also with a young man that should be at home and should have been for the past 11 years. JMO
