Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel has filed a notice of appeal in the US District Court ruling overturning Brendan Dassey conviction in the Teresa Halbach murder case.
Avery Uncut: Dassey's Confession Tape
“We believe the magistrate judge’s decision that Brendan Dassey’s confession was coerced by investigators, and that no reasonable court could have concluded otherwise, is wrong on the facts and wrong on the law,” said Attorney General Brad Schimel. “Two state courts carefully examined the evidence and properly concluded that Brendan Dassey’s confession to sexually assaulting and murdering Teresa Halbach with his uncle, Steven Avery, was voluntary, and the investigators did not use constitutionally impermissible tactics.”
“The Halbach family has been notified of the appeal and fully supports the State’s decision to seek justice on behalf of their daughter.”
