In the series, Brendan Dassey's police interrogations are boiled down to mere minutes, but in real life, they lasted for hours. In the past few weeks, new portions of the transcripts have surfaced, revealing more about his initial confessions. You can even watch the entire process unfold in five separate YouTube clips.
In the interest of brevity, though, here are some crucial details you didn't see on Netflix:
- Dassey admits to stabbing Halbach in the stomach after Avery took her out to the garage. He also claims that Avery fired five shots into Halbach's head.
- He admits that the entire murder was premeditated. He said they had been planning it "for a few days." Dassey claims Avery said he was going to kill her, and he wanted Dassey's help.
- Avery picked Halbach because "she looked good and she was pretty nice."
