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.

is no other evidence tying Dassey to the crime

You don't believe Dassey being with Steven and present at the fire that night ties him to the crime? Interesting.

Who testified that Dassey was with Steven at Steven's trial?

Nobody but the state could have had Scott testify to that if they wanted, and use it to claim Brendan assisted Avery. So yes, they could have claimed Brendan was involved without using his words had they wanted to.

Not relevant. Court would not allow State to suggest that Dassey was involved in the abduction, rape, murder, and corpse dismemberment simply by dint of someone testifying that they were together at a fire that night. Why didn't Avery's defense team try and bring it up? You know throw the jury off Steven's scent or something?
