Appearances this morning. 5 Starting with prosecution. 6 ATTORNEY KRATZ: State by Ken Kratz and 7 Tom Fallon as special prosecutors. 8 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: For Mr. Dassey, Your 9 Honor, Steve Drizin; Joshua Tepfer; a law 10 student, Adar Crosley; Mr. Robert Dvorak, an 11 attorney, from Milwaukee; Mr. Thomas Geraghty, an 12 attorney from Chicago; and Laura Nirider, an 13 attorney from Chicago. 14 THE COURT: All right. 15 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: And, I'm sorry, Mr. 16 Alex Hess, a law student, hiding behind the TV 17 screen. 18 THE COURT: Anyone else? 19 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Uh, not yet. 20 THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Fallon. 21 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Brendan — 22 THE COURT: Oh, I'm sorry. 23 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Brendan is also 24 present in court, Your Honor. 25 THE COURT: Court'll acknowledge the 5 1 personal presence of the — the defendant. 2 Mr. Fallon. 3 ATTORNEY FALLON: Yes. I'd like to 4 continue the cross of Dr. Leo. 5 THE COURT: Re-calling Dr. Leo? 6 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Judge, before we call 7 Dr. Leo, there's a few housekeeping matters left 8 over from yesterday, if it's okay, I'd like to 9 deal with. It should take a minute. I hope. 10 Okay. Yesterday, you — we discussed 11 that there were some problems with Exhibit 315, 12 which is why we needed the court reporter to take 13 them down. 14 THE COURT: Right. 15 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Urn, last night we 16 fixed those problems and renumbered the exhibits 17 so that the record will be clearer when this case 18 goes up on appeal. 19 And what I'd like to do, with counsels' 20 permission, is to just substitute pages 8, 9, 10, 21 11, and 12 of Exhibit 315, urn, which reflect the 22 correct numbering sequence, urn, of the videos. 23 ATTORNEY FALLON: Counsel, is that all 24 that's been changed? It's just the numbering 25 sequence? 6 1 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: It's just the 2 numbering. Not a single word of the clips has 3 been changed. 4 ATTORNEY FALLON: That's fine. 5 THE COURT: All right. Anything further? 6 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Yes. Um, the — there 7 was a — there was a question about Exhibit No. 8 87, I believe, which was a summary of media 9 reports. 10 THE COURT: Correct. 11 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Um, my recollection is 12 Your Honor accepted that for the limited purpose 13 of establishing that these facts were in the 14 public domain? 15 THE COURT: Correct. 16 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Okay. I neglected to 17 move into evidence all of the media reports, um, 18 which would be Exhibits 101 to 204, 239 to 305, 19 and 17 to 39. These are the media reports we 20 sent to Dr. Leo, and that he reviewed in 21 connection with his opinion. 22 Um, I would ask that they be moved in 23 for the same purpose as the summary exhibit. 24 THE COURT: Let me just go over that with 25 you again; 101 to 204, 209 to 305? 7 c y ^ t/y /c r O 'u /v t T ^ \ 1 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: 101 to 204, 239 to 2 305. 3 THE COURT: And was there one after that as 4 well? 5 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Yes, 17 to 39, Your 6 Honor. 7 THE COURT: Mr. Fallon, these are reports 8 that Dr. Leo apparently reviewed in preparing what 9 he prepared here. Do you have any objection to 10 them? 11 ATTORNEY FALLON: No. For the purpose 12 that we've discussed, that they were in the 13 public domain, no. 14 THE COURT: All right. They're 15 received. 16 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Thank you. No 17 further — 18 THE COURT: Anything further? 19 ATTORNEY DRIZIN: Nope. 20 THE COURT: Mr. Fallon. 21 ATTORNEY FALLON: Thank you. 22 THE COURT: Dr. Leo. I'll remind you, 23 Dr. Leo, that you're still under oath. 24 THE WITNESS: Okay. 25 THE COURT: You may wish to take the 8 overcoat off. THE WITNESS: Not used to this. CONTINUED CROSS-EXAMINATION BY ATTORNEY FALLON: Q Whenever you're ready, Doctor. A Are you going to be referring to witness — uh, . Exhibit 316? I just want to get this off if we're done with that. Q No. Three-sixteen I will not be using this morning. A Okay. I'm ready. Q All right. Good morning, Doctor. A Good morning. Q When we left the record yesterday I'd asked you to — to examine the March 1 statement again; is that correct? A Yes. Q And you did have that opportunity last night? A Not to read the whole thing over. I thought what you asked me to do was try to figure out the times. The times when it started and it ended. Q That was — but the specific question that brought us to that point was is it not a fact that Mr. Dassey, in effect, confessed within the first 90 minutes of that interview on March 1? 9 )logize, then. I just didn't remember on : instructions. aen, let's move on to another piece of d discuss that as it may or may not this case. £ believe, urn, earlier we mentioned in 7 the examination that you co-authored an article 8 that was published online and will be published 9 in writing later this year entitled, 10 Police-Induced. Confessions: Risk Factors and 11 Recommendations? 12 A Correct. 13 Q And you were one of the authors with Saul Kassin, 14 Steven Drizin, Thomas Grisso, Gisli Gudjonsson, 15 and Allison Redlich? 16 A Correct. 17 Q All right. In that article where you talk about 18 dispositional risk factors, we've already talked 19 about age. But there's also a discussion in 20 there about cognitive disabilities, mental 21 impairments, and the like; correct? 22 A Yes. 23 Q All right. And that particular part of the article, in large part, was based on research done by Dr. Gudjonsson and a colleague, John 10 1 Sigurdsson? 2 A Yes. 3 Q And in that particular resets — uh, research 4 that's reflected in your most recent publication, 5 there is a question — or I shouldn't say a 6 question — you conclude in that article that 7 there is a correlation between mental retardation 8 and its relationship to false confessions; 9 correct? 10 A Yes. 11 Q Um, in that article, as well, urn, Dr. Gudjonsson 12 talks about other dispositional problems such as 13 personality disorders; correct? 14 A I believe'so, yes. 15 Q And the presence or absence of anti-social 16 traits; correct? 17 A I believe so. 18 Q And um, Gudjonsson's research is based on a 19 sample of individuals in Iceland who claim to 20 have falsely confessed; correct? 21 A That's not all it's based on. I think his research 22 is based on a lot things, including American 23 research.

    Brendan Dassey's Legal Team Asks United States Supreme Court to Hear

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 20, 2018 MEDIA CONTACT: Laura Nirider at 312-503-8576 or [email protected] Steven Drizin at 312-503-8576 or [email protected] BRENDAN DASSEY’S LEGAL TEAM ASKS UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT TO HEAR BRENDAN’S CASE Former United States Solicitor General Seth Waxman joins Dassey’s Supreme Court team WASHINGTON DC -- Today, Brendan Dassey’s legal team filed a petition for a writ of certiorari before the United States Supreme Court, asking the high Court to agree to hear Brendan’s appeal. If the Court accepts the case, it will mark the first time the Court has agreed to hear a juvenile confession case of this type in nearly forty years. Lending formidable experience and firepower to the legal team, former Solicitor General of the United States Seth Waxman has joined Brendan’s longtime lawyers – Steven Drizin and Laura Nirider of Northwestern Pritzker School of Law’s Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth and Robert Dvorak of Halling & Cayo S.C. – to represent Brendan before the United States Supreme Court. Waxman, who served as U.S. Solicitor General from 1997 to 2001 and is now co-chair of the Appellate and Supreme Court Litigation practice group at WilmerHale, has argued eighty cases before the United States Supreme Court. As a committed champion of pro bono work, Waxman donates over 300 hours every year to representing indigent clients at no cost. Today’s petition explains that Brendan’s case raises crucial issues that extend far beyond his case alone and that have divided state and federal courts for decades.

  • Ending Innocence Denying

    Ending Innocence Denying

    ENDING INNOCENCE DENYING Lara Bazelon** Prosecutors, the most powerful actors in the criminal justice system, also have the most difficult job: they must be “ministers of justice.”1 A prosecutor’s core mission is to vindicate the truth, rather than strive to “win” by accumulating a track record of convictions. When evidence comes to light suggesting that a wrongful conviction has occurred, a prosecutor’s ethical obligation requires admitting to a terrible mistake and working to undo it. Many conscientious prosecutors accept this responsibility and confess to their errors, but too many do not. They insist, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that wrongfully convicted people are in fact guilty. These prosecutors actively work to delay justice. Some are so committed to adhering to the original mistake that they fail to prosecute the actual perpetrators. Much has been written about how to change the culture that leads to prosecutors’ reflexive doubling-down on wrongful convictions: public shaming in judicial opinions, more rigorous ethical training in law school and on the job, and sharper oversight by state bars. These measures are necessary, but they are insufficient. To curtail innocence denying, the narrative must change about what it means to be a “good prosecutor,” historically defined as a tough-on-crime-fighter whose overriding goal is to obtain and preserve convictions. This mindset pits a prosecutor’s self-interest in getting and preserving guilty verdicts * Lara Bazelon is a professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law and the former director of the Project for the Innocent at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
  • Making a Murderer Watchers

    Making a Murderer Watchers

    ACTION AGENDA FOR MAKING A MURDERER WATCHERS In the wake of the release of Making a Murderer, my colleague Laura Nirider and I have received requests from people from all walks of life from all over the globe who are wondering what they can do to help our client Brendan Dassey and his uncle Steven Avery. We do not represent Steven and do not feel comfortable making any comments about his case. But for those who are concerned with Brendan and who want to prevent other vulnerable suspects from suffering the same fate as Brendan, here are some suggestions. 1. Contact your local state legislator and insist that he or she sponsor a law requiring that police electronically record all interrogations of suspects. The fact that Brendan’s interrogation was recorded may ultimately be his saving grace. Viewers were able to see just how the police manipulated Brendan into confessing with promises of help and how they spoon-fed Brendan details that only the true perpetrator would have known. Although courts to date have not granted relief to Brendan based on these recordings, imagine what little chance he’d have if it was only his word against the word of the police officers about what happened during the interrogation. For a list of states that require electronic recording, click here. 2. Contact your local legislator and insist that he or she sponsor a law that requires police to interrogate juvenile suspects in the presence of and after meaningful consultation with their parents. There are a number of states that require parental presence and consultation.

GALLINI, MULR VOL. 102, NO. 3 (DO NOT DELETE) 4/22/2019 9:32 AM THE INTERROGATIONS OF BRENDAN DASSEY BRIAN GALLINI* On March 1, 2006, a pair of detectives interrogated sixteen-year-old Brendan Dassey—one of two defendants prominently featured in the 2015 Netflix series Making a Murderer—for several hours about his role in the October 31, 2005, disappearance of photographer Teresa Halbach. The prosecution introduced statements obtained during that interrogation at Dassey’s trial. With no corroborating physical evidence, those statements—including that Dassey cut Halbach’s throat—played a significant role in his conviction for Halbach’s murder. Following his conviction, Dassey’s appellate arguments about the legitimacy of his confession focused on his March 1, 2006, confession. Most recently, his petition for a writ of certiorari before the U.S. Supreme Court argued that the March 1 confession was involuntary and that using it against him at trial violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process clause.
