Justice and Freedom for Brendan Dassey & Steven Avery

[Tracy Keogh @TracyKeogh2]

We have been outraged from the opening moments of Brendan's interrogation, the press conference of Kratz, the destruction of Brendan's right to a non-prejudicial trial, to his presumption of innocence ... and we aren't alone. #FreeBrendanDassey

[Tracy Keogh @TracyKeogh2]

If you'd like to connect with Brendan and provide him with moments where the concrete and steel of his cell matter little as he immerses himself in the moments of your letter and life head to https://t.co/6jR2AcWD9R to learn how.

Judge Rovner: "Do you think someone with Brendan's intellect will understand "the truth will set u free is an idiom"?

Berg (WISDOJ) replied that Dassey wouldn't believe that statement to be true dismissing the IEPs (on record) that verified Brendan's inability to process idioms.

@GovEvers Fun fact: Instagram was created in 2010.
By then, Brendan Dassey had been wrongfully incarcerated for 4yrs.
Brendan has not been lucky enough to ‘get on the gram’ with all the other kids but you can remedy that immediately. Get busy doing things that matter! #FreeBrendanDassey

[Tracy Keogh @TracyKeogh2]

"Many of the factors the majority [Court of Appeals of the Seventh Circuit] cites as evidence leaning in favour of a finding of voluntariness - the soft interview room, the offers of food and drink ..."

Why it's almost as though the investigators were hitting their quota.

@TracyKeogh2 @TubbyEvans51 @GovEvers Playing dumb to so many issues “whatever do you mean?”

Despite all the political contention and pandemic woes, WPR's top stories of 2022 include some outliers, proving that no matter the world's chaos, sometimes we choose what drama we get caught up in, for better or worse. https://t.co/M3vpx72UKt

[Tracy Keogh @TracyKeogh2]

Thanks to @JButing and Dean Strang Brendan’s ongoing injustice is at #8 of @WPR’s top stories of 2022.

I was honoured to be included in the original article.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals. - Dr.Martin Luther King

We will be tireless @Govevers.

[Tracy Keogh @TracyKeogh2]

“A pardon is both an act of forgiveness and an acknowledgment that an individual has done the work to make amends for a past mistake …” But what of those who have made no mistake like Brendan Dassey, what will you do for them? For him.

Happy New Year from south-eastern Australia.

Bringing Brendan home in 2023. 🙏

@radleybalko The ongoing wrongful conviction of Brendan Dassey.

No evidence - not enough
Grant of habeas - not enough
Global awareness - not enough
Scholarly support - not enough
Legal advocacy - not enough
Innocence - not enough

Please don’t forget him.

If you click the #FreeBrendanDassey hashtag, unsure what it is..he is a prisoner who at 16, gave a coerced confession, was victimized by cops and his own attorney, and imprisoned for life without one speck of forensic evidence connecting him to a murdered girl. #makingamurderer

[Laura Nirider @LauraNirider]

Adnan Syed had to wait 23 years, despite the world fighting for him. He was locked up at 17, not free until 41.

Brendan is almost 33 years old. Locked up at 16. And I know the world is fighting for him too. Because we aren’t gonna wait 23 years to free Brendan Dassey.

[Tracy Keogh @TracyKeogh2]

This is what justice looks like, onwards Adnan.

Now for Brendan.

[Tracy Keogh @TracyKeogh2]

.@GovEvers with your reluctance to review: read the Dassey clemency petition perhaps you might listen to one of the many legal scholars who support it such as Dr. Richard Leo.

Send him home Governor it’s time to #freebrendandassey

[Tracy Keogh @TracyKeogh2]

“In a case like Brendan’s you can make the case for his release either on mercy or justice.”

@GovEvers take a moment to listen to clemency scholar Professor Mark Osler. Perhaps you might listen to him.

[Tracy Keogh @TracyKeogh2]

@GovEvers There's such a disconnect @GovEvers you clearly care about kids; their education, their mental health and future opportunity - and yet, you blatantly ignore the brutal injustice that befell a 16 year old kid in 2006 - an injustice that you have the power to correct.

[Michelle Vernon @vespertine77]

Meanwhile BRENDAN DASSEY still sits in prison as an innocent man. If you’re going to talk the talk you better walk the walk.
Freeing an innocent man is easy, takes no time and simply needs you.

Do the right thing… FREE BRENDAN DASSEY!

[Governor Tony Evers @GovEvers]

This wasn’t easy. It took time, honesty, and commitments from both sides.

But in Wisconsin, folks expect us to sit down, work together, and do the right thing for the people of our state—and that’s exactly what we did.
