TV-show lawyers to confess all at club

MAKING a Murderer’s Brendan Dassey’s lawyers are coming to Cardiff to talk about false confessions.

Dassey’s post-conviction lawyers, Laura Nirider and Steven Drizin, appear in the second installment of the phenomenally popular Netflix documentary as they appeal to overturn his life sentence for murder.

The show follows them as they seek to overturn their client’s conviction in the federal courts by arguing that Dassey’s confession, the key element of the prosecution’s case against him, was coerced.

And the pair will head to Cardiff’s Glee Club on Monday, December 10 to talk about false confessions.

They will then be at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London on Tuesday, December 11.

The addictive show became an instant hit after its launch in December 2015.

Filmed over a 10-year period, part one of the US thrillerdocumentary showed how Steven Avery became a prime suspect in the murder of 25-year-old photographer Teresa Halbach after having been wrongly convicted of another crime and released from prison.

At the end of the first 10 episodes, Avery was sentenced to life in prison, along with his nephew Dassey, who has learning difficulties and, at the age of just 16, confessed to helping his uncle kill Halbach. But both remained hopeful about the possibility of their eventual release.

Making A Murderer 2 was released on Netflix on Friday, October 19.

Tickets for False Confessions A Conversation with Laura Nirider and Steven Drizin go on sale on Friday, November 2.

They cost £27.50 and you can buy them from www.gigsandtours. com/event/false-confessions/ glee-club-cardiff/1282313
