On March 1, 2006, a 16-year-old told two detectives he helped his uncle rape and kill a woman. Then, on a break, he asked if he could get back to school in time for a project. Teresa Halbach was 25, a photographer. On October 31, 2005 she drove to Avery's Auto Salvage in Wisconsin and never came back. Her burned remains were found in a pit on the property. It belonged to the family of Steven Avery, who had already served 18 years for a rape he didn't commit. Detectives pulled his nephew Brendan Dassey out of high school. No lawyer, no parent in the room. The trial judge put his IQ in the "low average to borderline range." They kept asking what else happened to her head. Finally one said, "Who shot her in the head?" "He did." "Then why didn't you tell us that?" "Cuz I couldn't think of it." In the video below he's on that break. "How long is this gonna take?" He wants to be back by 1:29. "I have a project due in sixth hour." Then he's with his mother. He asks what happens if his uncle's story is different. "Did you?" she asks. "Not really." "They got to my head." He got life in 2007, with parole eligibility in 2048. In 2016 a federal judge ruled the confession involuntary. In 2017 the full appeals court reinstated it 4 to 3, and the Supreme Court declined to hear the case. He is still in prison. Was it a confession, or did two detectives write it for him?
