MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) – Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel still has not made a decision on whether to put Brendan Dassey back on trial for the murder of Teresa Halbach.
Dassey was ordered released from prison by a federal judge, who overturned his conviction three weeks ago after the murder case received international attention thanks to the Netflix documentary “Making a Murderer.”
Schimel told WISN-TV he’s made “some decisions” regarding Dassey, but isn’t ready to make an announcement.
The state has 90 days to decide whether to appeal the judge’s decision, file new charges against Dassey, or do nothing and let Dassey walk out of prison.
Steven Avery is also appealing his conviction in the case.
Avery’s lawyer last week filed a motion asking for the testing and retesting of hundreds of pieces of evidence.
