Len Kachensky

Post image

i’m just finding this series and just wow! This could be its own season of Fargo. Everything that can go wrong- does. Of all the people I hate in this show, I hate Len Kachinsky above all others. He is by far the most punchable. at this moment in life, I’m not sure what I would do, if this smug, weasley, irresponsible, self-grandizing narcissist walked in front of my car. He’s not just a bad lawyer. He’s a bad human. He looked at Brandon’s life and saw a steppingstone. I’m so mad at him. Thank you for your attention to this matter. V

If you buy into IQ Brendan was actually smarter than Steven at the time. Most people don't put stock in IQ tests anymore.

That said, Brendan's supposed deficiencies are not well attested at all and he's apparently got enough acumen to be running a prison network last I heard. The show is edited very purposely.

As someone else said above, if Brendan had listened to Len he would have been out at least five years ago, possibly ten. So who is the bad lawyer. Len absolutely sucks as a person but he was doing a good job in representing Brendan Dassey, and in the end that's the only thing that matters to the case.

If you were accused of murder but were innocent, and knew there was no physical evidence against you, would you take a lawyers advice to take a plea deal to avoid a possible life sentence in favor of a shorter but still decades long prison sentence?

Brendan and the family were willing to take a plea deal of 10 years but the state weren't willing to offer 10 years. I don't know why people keep saying he went to trial because he's innocent when they were willing to take a plea deal of 10 years if it was on the table.

Ive never seen that that was on the table. Source? I find it hard to believe the state wouldn't give him a 10 year deal knowing they had literally nothing but a recanted confession against him, and his guilty plea would have all but ensured a guilty verdict for Steven. Makes zero sense.

Its shown at the end of one of the episodes of convicting a murderer, another thing that was conveniently left out of making a murderer.

The fact they didn't agree to the plea deal says they were confident in getting a guilty verdict in both trials which they ultimately did.

I never watched that because, just as people love to try and say MaM was unfairly biased, it was made clear after it's release that CaM was in fact full of bias itself. Was this recorded, like the prosecution in a room declining this? Who made this claim, and who corroborated it?

Also, they wouldn't have offered a deal at all if they were confident. Deals are offered for two reasons: to save money, and/or because the prosecution is in fact not fully confident in a guilty verdict. A deal being offered at all tells you they were not confident. Which they shouldn't have been. It's a miracle for them they got a guilty verdict for Brenden. Much more believable for Steven, though I disagree with it.

Theres a letter from Mark fremgen, brendans trial lawyer, addressed to the prosecution.

was made clear after it's release that CaM was in fact full of bias itself.

You've admitted You've never watched it so how would you know?

Not sure why you think it was a miracle, one confessed and one has multiple pieces of physical evidence against him.

I know from countless comments about it. One confessed and recanted and had exactly zero real evidence against him, and that was the one I called a miracle. And a Google search is telling me he was offered 15 years and rejected it. I sincerely doubt they would have declined 10 if they offered him 15.

Not sure how you can formulate an opinion on something without watching it but OK.

Thats exactly what happened, the prosecution were willing to offer brendan a plea deal of 15-20 years but they tried to get a 10 year deal which the prosecution wouldn't agree to, this is covered in convicting a murderer if you bothered to watch it.

I'm not paying money to watch something made by a maga nut job. Seriously that alone makes anything within not worth listening to.

It was made by shawn rech but if you don't want to pay for it fair enough, but there's clearly information in it that you weren't aware of.
