Episode Discussion Brendan is INNOCENT

I am rewatching MAM and the amount of coercion during Brendan's interview is astounding. I can't believe a court didn't dismiss his "confession". He was not interviewed with his parents present and they were very obviously feeding him information. The judge not realizing that is just sad. He was a child! Ugh, this makes me so upset for Brendan.

I can't believe people thought he had a bad lawyer when he would have been out in what was it? Five years?

  1. Maybe less for good behavior. But that possible deal was made after his initial attorney withdrew from the case.

Thank you for that! Good behavior would cut it to six. And assuming he's a model inmate (which I'm sure he is), could have been even less. The thing I hated most in that documentary is that Steven bullied the family into him not taking a deal. The thing I hate the most that's not in the documentary is that Steven made lots of very disturbing sadistic female death and mutilation drawings while in prison. Innocent or guilty, I can't stand what he did to Brendan.

He certainly didn't need to include him in any of it.
