MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – The Wisconsin Department of Justice has filed its appeal of a ruling which overturned Brendan Dassey’s murder conviction.
On Wednesday, Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel filed the 151-page document.
Prosecutors announced they would appeal a ruling from a federal magistrate judge who tossed Dassey’s conviction in August.
Dassey and his uncle, Steven Avery, are serving life prison terms after being convicted of killing photographer Teresa Halbach in 2005.
The case garnered international attention following the release of the Netflix series “Making a Murderer“.
