Legal analysts are raising questions over the interrogation of Brendan Dassey after excerpts of Dassey's interrogations are shown throughout the ten part Netflix series "Making a Murderer.”
The documentary makes the viewer think Dassey was coerced into making his confession..
Legal analyst Avi Berk says Dassey's low IQ plays a role.
“I think there's a question whether he was influenced. Whether he was susceptible to being influenced because of his limited capacity."
The interrogation is also sparking proposed legislation in other states.
He was also interrogated without someone with him. That's inspired Tennessee representative Mike Sparks to propose legislation prohibiting juveniles from being interrogated alone.
"I don't see the problem with someone there that can be an advocate whether it’s an attorney or a parent," says Sparks.
The legislation was introduced three days after the “Making a Murderer” documentary was released.
