MIAMI - FEBRUARY 02: A judges gavel rests on top of a desk in the courtroom of the newly opened Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum February 3, 2009 in Miami, Florida. The museum is located in the only known structure in the nation that was designed, devoted to and operated as a separate station house and municipal court for African-Americans. In September 1944, the first black patrolmen were sworn in as emergency policemen to enforce the law in what was then called the "Central Negro District." The precinct building opened in May 1950 to provide a station house for the black policemen and a courtroom for black judges in which to adjudicate black defendants. The building operated from 1950 until its closing in 1963.

The man documented in the popular Netflix show, Making a Murderer, has lost his appeal…

According to Bustle, a federal appeals court is overturning a ruling that freed Brendan Dassey from prison.

In a 4-3 verdict, the court made the decision that Dassey’s confession wasn’t coerced by the sheriff’s department.

While Dassey’s lawyers could take the case up to Supreme Court now, it’s unclear what their next move is.

Although Dassey was found guilty of killing Teresa Halbach with his uncle, Steve Avery, in 2007, the documentary series Making a Murderer cast doubt on the verdict.
