Unbelievable... They did it. The State has 90 days to appeal though... Not sure how that works though.

Dassey, Steven Avery's nephew, was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 41 years after he was convicted in 2007 of first-degree intentional homicide, second-degree sexual assault, and mutilation of a corpse in the killing of Halbach in Manitowoc County.
The federal ruling says the state has 90 days to appeal the federal order or Dassey must be released from prison. He is being held at Columbia Correctional Institution.
U.S. Magistrate Judge William Duffin said "misconduct" by Dassey's lawyer, Len Kachinsky, in defending Dassey was "indefensible."
The court ruled Dassey's confession was "involuntary" and was based on "false promises" by interrogators, "Dassey's age and intellectual deficits."
