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.
