It looks like viewers following the case of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey will see a major twist and turn of events in "Making a Murderer" Season 2. It has been known that the 26-year-old American man from Manitowoc County, Wisconsin is about to get free in three months time after his verdict is overturned by a federal judge and it looks like Steven Avery will be the next.
Steven Avery, Has A Chance To Be Acquitted?
Brendan Dassey was just 16 years old when he was being probed by the police. That time, the young boy was not accompanied by any guardian or even his own lawyer. Hence, the interrogation appeared to be forced that led to his and Steven Avery's imprisonment, as per Refinery29.
So, Steven Avery's new legal representative Kathleen Zellner believes that her client has a strong chance to be acquitted from his verdict in "Making a Murderer" Season 2 because of the new revelation about Brendan Dassey. The attorney believes that reiterating the previous DNA examinations, which she believes is manipulated, and introducing a new suspect may make the 54-year-old convicted to be freed.
"There is evidence that already exists in the case that points to a different location and a different suspect," Kathleen Zellner told the New York Times. "We've got a combination of forensic evidence and a tip from somebody that we've interviewed multiple times that we think is credible."
Prosecutors Will Appeal Over Brendan Dassey's Acquittal?
Meanwhile, as Brendan Dassey will be released soon, the legal specialists believe that the prosecutors will do their best to make an appeal over his acquittal. As per news.com.au, these prosecuting officers might even ask for another investigation over the offender's crime in "Making a Murderer" Season 2. But, they might have a hard time to do so as the federal judge thinks that his declaration of guilt is made out of mental inability because of his young age.
However, legal experts revealed that Brendan Dassey might still stay imprisoned for a year even if he is already freed. This is because the country's attorney-general is more likely to appeal his petition over last week's decision. "Making a Murderer" Season 2 is now in the works, although Netflix has yet to announce its release date.
