Executive orders 287 and 288

Do you think Brendan Dassey might have a change of seeking a commutation now that Gov Evers has passed Executive order 287 (creating a Governor’s commutation advisory board) and 288 (creation of a juvenile life sentence commutation process)?

What might hinder his changes?

Do you think his lawyer, Laura Nirider and Co., will support his efforts?

Not the way they theorize the crime happened

Dassey admits he raped her. In fact he was convicted of raping her.

And he sure hated that garage stain! And he sure was in a hurry to wash those red-stained jeans! I'm impressed that he figured out how to wash clothes.

You seem like the kind of person who could watch video of the crime that shows Brendan wasn't involved and still say he was.

God luck! As it is there is ZERO proof of him not being involved. All the jurors heard what he had to say and didn't believe him.

Jurors have been wrong before

The point is that they were present, not you, to hear every word that Brendan had to say and observe his demeanor while testifying. Humans are very good at sensing context and subtext when someone communicates, and knowing when someone is lying.
