Ottawa lawyers Michael Spratt and Emilie Taman discuss Netflix super popular docu-series Making a Murderer one episode at a time. In episode 9 the focus of Making a Murderer shifts from Steven Avery to Brendan Dassey. The lawyers are different, the trial is different, the issues are different - but the result is sadly the same. Dassey's' trial focusses on his confession. Why would an innocent man confess to a crime he did not commit? The answer - the Reid technique - a police tool that is good at getting a confession, not the truth. Let's just say we are less than impressed.
