Brendan Dassey's letter to the world.


Brendan Dassey's letter to the world.
The Issue
At 26 year of age, Brendan Dasey is serving a life sentence, with parole opportunities beginning in 2048, for the murder of Teresa Halbach. As some of you watched the Netflix series "Making A Murderer know that every person meant to defend Brendan was ineffective, and that his confession was obviously involuntary from what we can see from the documentary.
I would like to release Brendan's letter to the world, and make him aware that there's people out there reading his letter and support his fight to prove his innocence
As of January 3, 2016 he currently is still in prison and there is no updated information on his appeal. A habeas petition was filed and could have several results. If not outright rejected, Brendan Dassey may receive another trial, or may even be set free. It’s worth noting that very few habeas petitions are granted.
So like myself and many others, I think that the system has failed him. If you are also outraged about the outcome of his case then I ask if you please sign this petition and let him know that there are people out there who support and care.
Brendan reads from a letter he wrote from prison...
“Dear people in the world, my name is Brendan Dassey.
I am writing to let you know that I am innocent of the rape and murder of Teresa Halbach.
I was interrogated by the police when I was 16 years old.
The investigators kept telling me over and over they knew I was involved.
They also told me if I just said I was involved, they would help me and that I wouldn't get in trouble.
I trusted them.
I told them a lot of things that weren't true that day.
I thought I would go back to school afterwards.
But they arrested me.
I haven't been free since that day.
I've missed out on high school, graduation and a chance to get a girlfriend or a job.
My brothers have gotten married and had children.
I wish I could have a family someday, too.
I am innocent of the rape and murder of Teresa Halbach.
Please help me if you can.
Sincerely, Brendan Dassey.”
