A judge today ordered the “immediate release” of Making a Murderer’s Brendan Dassey, guaranteeing that he’ll be home in time to watch WrestleMania next year.
If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll remember that Dassey was just a teen when he was put in jail for the 2005 murder of Theresa Halbach. The now 27-year-old is finally receiving justice after Netflix’s 2015 hit show brought his story to the mainstream.

As the DailyMail reports, “In August a judge ruled that police tricked the intellectually disabled teenager into describing how he had helped rape, stab, shoot and dismember Halbach on his uncle Steven Avery’s orders.
Dassey’s supervised release was not immediate. He had until noon Tuesday to provide the federal probation and parole office with the address of where he planned to live. His attorney, Steve Drizin, would not say where Dassey plans to live.”
Dassey's conviction was based on a confession he gave to investigators working for the prosecution. https://t.co/CkBfEwxlAz

Dassey will be providing the address of his intended residence by Tuesday afternoon and he’ll be barred from contacting his Uncle, Steven Avery.
