Making a Murderer star Steven Avery's nephew, Brendan Dassey, could soon be released from jail, Breaking Celebrity News has learned. In an explosive development, today a Wisconsin judge overturned his conviction!

Dassey has been behind bars since 2007, when he was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, second-degree sexual assault, and mutilation of the corpse of Teresa Haibach. Just 17 at the time, he was a sympathetic character in the Netflix series, with critics insisting he did not have the mental capacity to make a confession, and that his admission of guilt to the cops had been forced.
