Brendan Dassey, yes release him immediately.
Steven Avery no. But give him a new trial.
From what I've seen, Dassey's lawyers dropped the ball in a major way and didn't properly pursue a single defence that would actually help Dassey. The only real evidence the state has against Dassey is the statement made by Kayla Avery. Even then, she didn't state that Dassey had participated in anything, only that he had seen her pinned up and the corpse in the fire. It's not illegal to witness someone committing a crime.
