Brendan Dassey is to be released while the state appeals. Good news for the innocent - this trial has some very close similarities to the Amanda Knox case (who has been officially vindicated). For some good laughs, have a read at the Knox thread and some of the people claiming she was guilty. It demonstrates how susceptible we are to suggestion, even when it makes no sense (there are many studies on this subject, if you are interested).
