A judge ordered Monday that Brendan Dassey, one of the subjects of the Netflix documentary ‘Making a Murderer’ be released from prison after his conviction was overturned.

Dassey has been in prison since 2007 when he was sentenced to life in the 2005 murder of 25-year-old Theresa Halbach. Dassey’s uncle, Steven Avery, is also serving a life sentence for the murder.

Dassey’s conviction was reversed in August after a judge ruled that Dassey’s constitutional rights were violated due to interrogation techniques used on him. Dassey was 16 at the time of the murder.
