He and his uncle, Steven Avery, are serving life sentences.
MADISON, Wis. — A man convicted of rape and murder when he was a teenager whose story was documented in the 2015 Netflix NFLX, -0.57% series “Making a Murderer” is asking Wisconsin’s governor for a pardon or commutation of his life prison sentence, attorneys said Wednesday.
Avery and Dassey are serving life sentences. The U.S. Supreme Court last year, without comment, said they would not consider Dassey’s appeal of his conviction. He could request another trial if a judge agrees he has new evidence that warrants a new trial. At Dassey’s trial, video of his confession to investigators played a central role. Authorities had no physical evidence tying Dassey to the crimes, and he testified that his confession was “made up,” but a jury convicted him anyway. He will be eligible for parole in 2048.
