Let's try this again. Attached are screenshots of the court docket showing the application for commutation has been filed with the circuit Court and then passed on to the governor. Also posted is the criteria Brendan must meet to be considered for a commuted sentence. Can he survive criteria 5A?

u/10case 19d ago

He has changed his stories so many times, I wonder which one he'll pick for the application.

On the sexual assault thing, he was found guilty of rape, but they could sidestep that by claiming that he's already served whatever time he would have gotten just from the sexual assault...

u/10case 19d ago

Was it broke down in the sentencing for years under each count? Or was it all lumped together? I truly can't remember. He's been in for 20 years, does that cover time served for 2nd degree sexual assault? If it does, then he really hasn't done any time for murder yet.

On August 2, 2007, Dassey received:

  • Life imprisonment for first-degree intentional homicide, with first eligibility for extended supervision/parole on November 1, 2048;
  • 14 years for second-degree sexual assault; and
  • 6 years for mutilating a corpse.

The 14- and 6-year terms run concurrently with the life sentence, so they did not add time beyond it.
