Yeah
quote:There is no two sides to a lawyer setting up their 16 year old mentally ******ed client to be interrogated by a private investigator and inviting police detectives to interrogate him with no attorney representation.
Meh. Hes a hack but just like every single thing we saw in this case, he's a subject of a completely one sided presentation.

I don't disagree about his competence level, but I still argue many people would be shocked at how many crappy lawyers there are out there who have done worse than this hatchet job.
quote:He doesn't dispute any of that.
I don't disagree in principle, but you only saw what they wanted you to see.

Any time these types of shows or docs come out, while they always interest me, I choose to take them with a grain of salt.
For many, many, it worked perfectly. The masses watch MaM and feel like they are now experts on the entire case. But they were persuaded and don't want to admit it.
FTR, there's no way in hell I'd have voted Brendan guilty if I were on that jury based off what I was shown in the doc. That being said, I also know I only saw what they wanted me to see.

Lol. You're completely misunderstanding my point.
Hes a ****ty lawyer, dassey deserved a better defense, but in an attempt at objectivity... we are all acting as judge and jury about a group of people based off an extremely biased documentary that was brilliantly executed to get us all to feel a certain way. I fell prey to it as well.
I have tons of issues with our justice system. And ****ty public defenders who don't even try are definitely one of them.
Based off what we saw in the footage I definitely agree that hack shouldn't be our there.
But my larger point is that making a mountain put of one molehill isn't going to do a damn thing to correct the flawed system. Hes just a tat and feather candidate when there are thousands as bad and worse working the system for quick checks.

The show being one-sided and Dassey's lawyer being a f*ckhead are not mutually exclusive. I have many many doubts about Avery being innocent-not so much with Dassey.
quote:No it is not. I doubt you can find another mentally challenged kid (below 70 IQ) that are HS junior age or younger that had a police interrogation without an attorney set up for them by their attorney.
I agree. My point was basically... If dassey's lawyer's actions shocked anyone, then they need to know the truth about our justice system. That **** is SOP.
