As Netflix subscribers eagerly await Season 2 of Making A Murderer, headlines are giving clues as to where the next set of episodes will take us. After all, both subjects court cases continue to get exposure. Unfortunately, the news as of late is not promising for currently incarcerated Brendan Dassey, as his case was ...
The decision comes from the appeal of the decision to overturn his conviction a year ago on the grounds that Brendan Dassey's confession seen in Making A Murderer was coerced. The vote was very close, as EW reports a panel of judges voted 4 to 3 against Dassey and ruled that his confession obtained by police had been p...
While a majority of Season 1 of Making A Murderer focuses on the trial of Steven Avery, his nephew Brendan Dassey served as a big part of Avery's defense, due to the way in which his confession was obtained and the inconsistencies his story had with actual evidence. Dassey was interviewed by police four times over two ...
The news on Brendan Dassey comes just two months after Steven Avery was denied a new trial by a Wisconsin judge. With Making A Murderer crews likely following the events and filming every step of the way, it will be interesting to hear Avery and Dassey's thoughts on the process, and what they think since they last talk...
Making A Murderer Season 2 is currently in development and will release on Netflix, but no release date has been given as to when it may arrive.

''Now, Americans understand that Bali is the small one,'' Mr. Ave said of the Indonesian island on which this town is situated.
Mr. Ave, Indonesia's Director General of Tourism, was acting as host of a party by the pool of the Bali Sol hotel for local dignitaries and the international press. The party had the usual complement of undulating dancers, gong and reong players and sweet pink drinks.
It has not worked out that way. ''There perhaps may very well be a fly in the soup,'' he said grimly.
Administration officials, who took great pains to make a success of Mr. Reagan's Indonesian prelude to the Tokyo summit meeting, say the Bali stop has soured into ''a black mark'' against the Indonesians because of the expulsion of three journalists.
If this had occurred in Washington, it would be flatly labeled a ''public relations disaster.'' Played out here in Bali, it has become a lesson in colliding attitudes about the relationship between the press and government.
Oficially, the White house says there is ''no problem.'' But the theme of the trip, the ''winds of freedom,'' has taken on a mocking tone as the focus has shifted from Mr. Reagan to the Indonesian strictures on freedom of the press.
But that embarrassment is not deep, nor does it change the basic Indonesian indifference to government public relations as it is practiced and understood in Washington. ''They're on a different wavelength,'' a Reagan aide commented today.
Nor do Reagan aides expect the Government of President Suharto to appreciate a central paradox in its handling of the Western press this week. The crackdown began when General and Mrs. Suharto were piqued by an article in an Australian newspaper comparing them to Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos. Now, their restrictions aga...
Even so, the Indonesians seem wedded to their approach, and today Indonesian officials went on the defensive, chiding the Western press for not understanding that Indonesia values internal security over good publicity in the world press.
American officials pointed out that the irony here is that Indonesia is a country where politeness is so much a national trait that drivers never even honk their horns. But Indonesians are also a proud, nationalistic people with a bias against overt criticism.
He said President Suharto had been ''very hurt'' by the ''unnecessarily personal'' Australian article.
Later, privately, he said the problem is that ''the notion'' of press freedom is so different here that it is hard for Westerners to understand.
Mr. Ave, who said tourism from the United States had doubled in the last five years to 60,000 a year, said he hoped the talk of press freedom would not overshadow other issues.
''We are not going to be bothered by what happens to one or two journalists,'' he said. ''Big deal. We're talking about big country relations here.
If the image of Indonesia has been hurt in the West, it has at least been polished internally and in other third world countries. The pictures of Mr. Reagan and General Suharto smiling together will be a boon to the general, White House officials said.

Hundreds of Superior High School students gathered in the gymnasium for 19 minutes Friday to raise awareness of gun violence at schools.
"This is not a pro- or anti-gun rally," said senior Joe Carter, who organized the event with Devon Sullivan-Pettit. "We are just bringing you guys here today so that we can get our message out and create awareness about gun violence."
He was prompted to hold the rally because of his six younger sisters. The point of the event was to make the school safer for everyone in this generation and those to come, Carter said.
"We are the youth," Sullivan-Pettit said. "When we come together, nothing can stop us."
They initially planned to hold an 18-minute rally in memory of the 18 school shootings that have taken place in the nation. That number jumped to 19 after news broke of Friday's fatal shooting at Central Michigan University.
"You don't think it can happen here, but it really can," Carter said. "So what we need to do is to come together and just be kinder to each and everybody here. It all starts with us as students."
Senior Al Swenson told the crowd that he has experienced the fear of being beat up, bullied and given death threats for being himself.
"I don't want anybody else to feel this kind of fear," Swenson said.
Carter asked students to submit ideas on how they can make SHS a safer place and what change they would like to see happen at the school.
For the last 11 minutes and 20 seconds, students sat in silence. A few held up signs — "Am I next?" "No More Silence, End Gun Violence," "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." Following the rally, most of the participants returned to class.
"I'm very proud of the way the students handled themselves," said SHS Principal Greg Posewitz. "This was all their doing."
The entire event was student-driven, he said, and those who attended were respectful.
Superior Middle School students also voiced concerns about school safety during a walkout Wednesday afternoon. More than 200 students gathered in the community events parking lot.
"Most of the kids were out there for 17 minutes, I believe," said Principal Richard Flaherty. "One minute for each victim of the shooting in Florida recently."
Signs were held and students shared a moment of silence. Flaherty said most returned to classes, although about 40 students remained outside and continued to express their thoughts. School staff monitored the event to make sure they were safe in the parking lot.
Like at SHS, the middle school event was led entirely by students.
It was nice to see that the middle-schoolers felt they were part of something bigger, Flaherty said, but he hoped that the next time they expressed their views, they do so in a way that doesn't disrupt class.
District response to such protests was spelled out in a letter about school safety that District Administrator Janna Stevens sent to parents Feb. 23.
"As a district, we will neither encourage or discourage student walkouts, nor will we prevent students from participating or discipline them if they do," Stevens wrote.
This year's seniors were in sixth grade when they heard about the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"My basketball team, we made snowflakes and sent them to Sandy Hook," said Alexis Jensen, a senior at the high school. "For our generation, it was the first big shooting."
Friday, the national total stood at 19.
Carter said before the event that even if 15 people showed up, it would be a success.
"I didn't think there would be this many people, but I'm just glad about the turnout," Carter said. "I felt like they really listened."
He said change is coming.
"No child, no parent needs to have that burden of being worried about whether or not their kid is safe coming to school," Carter said.
DELTONA, Fla. - A 14-year-old middle school student has earned a felony charge on his record after the Volusia County Sheriff's Office says he threatened to shoot up his Deltona classroom.
The Heritage Middle School student is charged with making a false report of a bomb threat and disrupting a school function, Sheriff's Office spokesman Andrew Grant said.
The incident happened Friday morning, two days after 17 high school students and teachers were killed in a Parkland, Florida, mass shooting. A 19-year-old former student has said he was the gunman.
Deputies said the Deltona 14-year-old was disruptive, making jokes about the Broward County school shooting and saying he would blow up the classroom. His teacher warned him that his comments were inappropriate, but he continued making threatening statements, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The student refused to take a seat and began shooting staples at the ground, the teacher told authorities. Deputies said after the 14-year-old was removed from class, he told authorities he was only joking and has no access to firearms.
The student's "joke" earned him a felony charge and misdemeanor, Grant said, adding that "little tolerance will be shown for jokes" at the Sheriff's Office.
The teenager's mother told News 6 she had no comment about the arrest of her son.
Sheriff Mike Chitwood said his department investigated at least 15 threats to area schools between Thursday and Friday, all of which turned out to be unfounded.
Chitwood and Volusia County superintendent of schools Tom Russell addressed the rash of threats after the real mass shooting on Valentine's Day.
Each threat requires a K-9 bomb squad response and full investigation. Chitwood was fed up, telling students, "If you are looking to get a felony record, continue to make threats."
"The aftermath of this tragedy is not a time for jokes," he added.
Russell addressed parents saying they need to monitor their children's social media and cellphone activity, as well as check their backpacks before they go to school.
Another issue Chitwood said is that unlocked vehicles are enabling kids to get their hands on weapons. In 2017, 179 guns were stolen in Volusia County from unlocked vehicles, according to the Sheriff's Office.
"Those guns are falling into the hands of juveniles," Chitwood said.
The sheriff continued by saying that the threat of guns on school campuses is not going anywhere.
"The day of waiting for Tallahassee or Washington, D.C. to protect our kids is not coming," Chitwood said. "It's not stopping."
Chitwood said protecting children needs to happen county-by-county and within each school district. He endorsed the idea of school officials receiving training to respond to active threats and have concealed carry permits.
"The objective is take them out before they get that body count," Chitwood said of potential active shooters. "Lives will be saved."
As of Friday afternoon, more than a dozen school threats in the Orlando area have been addressed by local law enforcement.
Anyone who witnesses a threat or is aware of suspicious activity that might indicate potential violence is encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 911 in an emergency or via the non-emergency line at 386-248-1777.
The author of the pick-up artist’s bible has a new board game. But don’t expect him to hit on you.
I’m a bit disappointed when Neil Strauss doesn’t hit on me. Not that I usually enjoy being hit on, nor do I expect the romantic attentions of my interview subjects. But this is Neil Strauss, the journalist and author of the bestselling book, The Game, which launched the language of the pick-up artist into the everyday ...
Strauss is promoting a new board game called “Who’s Got Game?”—the game of The Game. The box is decorated with a caricature of Strauss, with his signature goatee and shaved head, and a woman in a slinky red nightie holding a martini glass in one hand and blow-dryer in the other. “The Game with Benefits!” it proclaims.
As we speak, Strauss drops some hints of the debauchery and celebrity of the life he described in The Game. He’s constantly putting me on mute, as if there are untoward sounds in the background that my virgin ears must be shielded from. “Thanks for coming by, Amber,” I hear him say, before the phone goes silent again. ...
Strauss is quick to point out that men in the pick-up community aren’t naturally suave. The reason they gravitate to cheap tactics, and an online community that shares and disseminates them, is that they aren’t having success with women. The Game was presented as a game precisely because it was for men who were more co...
Toward the end of the interview, I admit I’m a bit miffed to be looked over by a guy who once picked up a woman from whom he stole a parking space. But Strauss says that it’s simply the nature of his situation, post-Game: “It’d be so incredibly cliché and cheesy to game you.” It’s not quite a neg, but I’ll take it.
While it may be hoped that an equitable balance between personal freedom and public duty will produce a civil society, the tenets of liberalism turned libertarianism will always tend to undermine such a balance.
"baptism initiates us into a community of faith who are freed from the death dealing powers of the world and the self so that they may be truly human..."
It's hard to imagine a more emphatic statement about how you regard the people outside your faith. We are subhuman; we are not worthy of rights or respect. We can be lied to with impunity, for our benefit or yours. You will TRY to be nice to us, as you try to be nice to your pets and domestic animals, but clearly when ...
If Donald Trump had said that Democrats weren't genuine human beings, I'm sure you would have been as outraged as anyone else. But when your religion prompts you to say something equally vile, you do so without hesitation.
The sad thing is that I'm sure you're a really nice guy underneath. That's why I keep pointing out the enormity of the attitudes which you express in the apparent belief that they appropriate to a civilised and educated human being, in the hope one day the nice guy underneath will decide he's too smart and sensible to ...
Good article showing how separating church and state has damaged the church. Christians need to live under a Christian government that seeks not the satiation of the self but the establishment of healthy congregations that are prepared to sacrifice some of their material comfort for greater spiritual comfort.
Give me a secular society where the various religions have as little influence as possible in the society. Your use of the term militant atheist betrays your effort to denigrate those thinkers who can see no place for a hell or heaven in the universe.
I need no moral Authority Figure to point out to me how to live a moral thoughtful life.
I prefer the Socratic view that the un-examined life is not worth living.
""We can never survey our own sentiments and motives, we can never form any judgment concerning them, unless we remove ourselves, as it were, from our own natural station, and endeavour to view them as at a certain distance from us. But we can do this in no other way than by endeavouring to view them with the eyes of o...
While you make some good points Peter, that most reasonable folk may well agree with?
It doesn't necessarily imply or infer that freedom, freedom of choice, freedom to choose, or choice is always a proffered option!? Or even being conflicted by having to chose the lesser evil, is in any way inherently wrong!
That the only thing able to be put on trial here, is individual value judgement?
Doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons? Is therefore not necessarily a essentially bad outcome?
But may even be part of a grand plan? Where those, like those self made men born in the very log cabin hewn out of the wilderness with their own two bare hands? Can go on to serve humanity?
Liberty, fraternity and equality! Such nice sounding sentiments aren't they?
Such a pity they are almost invisible as universal social justice outcomes in so called conservative ranks, marked by the complete loss of their former progressives (fair dinkum Christians) and the rise and rise of Satanic selfish ironclad individualism?
And while there isn't enough darkness in the entire world to extinguish the light of a single candle!
Too few are being lit! And too many "individualists" are blowing with all their feverish might and main to extinguish as many as possible?
And as a consequence, creating a world almost as inviting for their fellow man, as the dark side of the moon!
And a path to somewhere! Namely, a dark and foreboding barren waste! Marked by the complete absence of so much as a single drop of the milk of human kindness!? Or welcome light in a single window!
