An unexpected confession casts doubt on Steven's role in the murder case, but the new suspect gives conflicting accounts of what occurred - oh and we are introduced to one of the worst criminal defence lawyers ever - Len Kachinsky. Kachinsky speaks to the media and opines that Brandan Dassey, his client, is 'morally and legally responsible' and public suggests a plea deal - all befor speaking Brandan. Meanwhile Steven Avery's lawyers wrestle with the ethical dilemma of how to deal with Kachinsky's incompetence. After Dassey's confession is inexplicably admitted into evidence Kachinsky extracts a confession from his own client and fights against Brandan's request for a new lawyer who believes in him. The prosecution says some crazy shit, the media foams at the mouth, and new questions are raised about possible police misconduct. So just a typical day in Manitowoc Wisconsin.
