The defense takes on Bobby Dassey.  Bobby admits he was there the same day, Halloween of 2005, that Teresa arrived at the property to take photos. He said he saw her arrive but not leave. Cut and dried right?

🌟💰 Tip Jar: https://ko-fi.com/beachhouse34 After Bobby Dassey claimed he overheard Steven Avery confess to murder, the courtroom went into damage control. The jury was dismissed, and the afternoon turned into a battle over whether or not Bobby would take the stand so the defense could get a crack at him. The defense needed more time...they had never interviewed Bobby themselves. (Seems weird rig...

#truecrime #stevenavery #trialtranscrips  🌟💰 Tip Jar: https://ko-fi.com/beachhouse34 This is a long one folks. In this episode we hear from Bobby Dassey. Bobby is Brendan Dassey's brother (you know, the one who is also in jail), and he drops a bombshell that catches the defense completely off-guard. The prosecution barely...and I mean barely...escaped from having a mistrial called because o...

In this episode, Pam Sturm’s daughter, Nikole, takes the stand to tell her version of how they “just happened” to find Teresa Halbach’s RAV4.

Did Manitowoc or Calumet arrive first? Did she see anyone actually app...

Dawn Pliska, the receptionist at AutoTrader, was the one who made some of Teresa Halbach's appointments for her. The thing is though, her last known appointment? This leaves a big hole in the timeline.  Teresa was known for getting those "hustle shots" that made her extra cash and these appointments wouldn't even show up on her appointment sheet until she turned them in...the next day. So did...
