Making a Murderer subject Brendan Dassey’s “best shot” at a release from prison has been denied after Wisconsin governor Tony Evers declined a request to pardon him. The Pardon Advisory Board notified Dassey and his attorneys of the governor’s decision this week.
“Unfortunately, we are unable to consider your application for pardon because you do not meet one or more of the required eligibility conditions,” the Pardon Advisory Board wrote (via NBC15). “In addition, the governor is not considering requests for commutation.”

One of the biggest flips in the midterm elections — at least for the stars of Netflix’s “Making a Murderer” Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey — may have come in the state of Wisconsin.
Governor Scott Walker and Attorney General Brad Schimel, both republican incumbents, lost their bids for re-election on Tuesday. Described as “the top two elected officials most determined to keep Avery and Dassey convicted,” the officials were topped by democrats Tony Evers and Josh Kaul respectively, who represent fresh hope for Wisconsin’s celebrity prisoners.
There’s also some speculation as to whether the October release of “Making a Murderer” season 2 might have swayed the election out of the duo’s favor.

The midterm election results are in, and in addition to winning control of the House of Representatives, Democratic candidates managed to unseat Republican incumbents in other key positions — including “the top two elected officials most determined to keep [Steven Avery] and [Brendan Dassey] convicted.”
That’s how defense attorney Jerry Buting described Wisconsin’s now former Governor Scott Walker and Attorney General Brad Schimel, who both lost their respective bids for reelection to their democratic challengers. Walker was defeated by Tony Evers, while Schimel will be replaced by Josh Kaul...

Making A Murderer co-director Laura Ricciardi on Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey and the possibility of a season 3
The following contains spoilers for Making a Murderer Season 2.
This article comes from Den of Geek UK.
“I refer to it as a cautionary tale!” laughs Laura Ricciardi, one half of the team (with Moira Demos) who created Netflix sensation Making a Murderer - a project that spanned more than a decade with no guarantee, at the outset, of the show ever being broadcast at all. A cautionary tale that paid off, then.
“We hope our project can be an example for emerging filmmakers, emerging artists in general, and just people in general because we did take a leap of faith but I really believed in Moira.
“I think that after we’d gone out and sort of explored the idea of maybe following the story for about a week,...

The first trailer for Making a Murderer: Part 2 has been released by Netflix. It gives us our first look at the next chapter of this true crime story involving Steven Avery. His story captivated audiences and when the first Season was released it was a major topic of conversation with so many people.
The first installment of the Emmy-winning documentary series followed Avery, who was convicted of sexual assault and attempted murder in 1985. He ended up being exonerated by DNA evidence after serving 18 years in prison. Then a few years after his release, he and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, were convicted for the murder of Teresa Halbach. As you’ll see in the trailer, the fight to get Avery and Dassey out of jail will continue with a new lawyer, Kathleen Zellner.
