Brendan Dassey Confession Breakdown — The Interrogation That Fooled a Jury

Описание: Brendan Dassey was only 16 years old when investigators removed him from school and subjected him to a high-pressure police interrogation without a lawyer or a parent present. What happened next would become one of the most controversial confessions in American legal history — and one of the clearest examples of how the Reid Technique can lead to a false confession.
This documentary-style breakdown explores the Brendan Dassey case, his connection to the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach, and the interrogation that prosecutors used to convict him. Using interrogation footage, psychological expert testimony, and court records, we show how law enforcement used suggestion, minimization, false evidence, and confession feeding to extract statements from a cognitively vulnerable teenager who repeatedly said he didn’t understand what was happening.
The case gained worldwide attention through Netflix’s Making a Murderer, triggering public outrage, appeals, and debate over juvenile interrogations, wrongful convictions, and police interrogation tactics. We break down why federal judges nearly overturned Brendan’s conviction — and why the system ultimately reversed itself.
This is more than true crime. It’s a chilling look at how interrogation tactics, power, and pressure can create a confession even when no physical evidence supports it.
If you follow true crime, police interrogations, wrongful conviction cases, and criminal psychology, this in-depth breakdown is essential viewing.
