[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does everyone make of the young female cousin?  She was very convincing on the stand that she'd made up the story, but how would she know to give some of those details if Dassey hadn't told her?[/quote]

I believe her statement to police was made after a lot of the information was made public via Kratz's press conference. Not 100% sure but I think that's what I remember from the doc. [/quote]

I'm fairly certain this isn't the case.  I'm getting all the details confused now and would have to go back to see, but I think she told the school counselor.  The school counselor then called the police, who then did a follow up interview with Dassey.  It was during this follow up they got his confession.

One specific detail was that Dassey said he saw body parts in the fire. Dassey didn't tell them this until the follow up interview.[/quote]

Yes, but the "body parts in the fire" was all over the news way prior to this. Not a far leap.[/quote]
We just watched this episode last night. The prosecution pulled out Kayla's statement to the police, and she admitted that she made it up, having seen the details on television. She (said she) didn't do it to get Brendan in trouble, but thought what she'd seen on tv must be the truth, even if he wasn't admitting it.

They also played a clip of one of Brendan's "confessions" where it seemed like they pushed him to say he saw body parts in the fire. "What did you see in the fire, Brendan?" "A cabinet and tires and stuff." "Were there body parts in the fire?" "...There were garbage bags, so maybe..." "What body parts did you see in the fire, Brendan?" "...Toes..."

The whole thing makes me ill. Especially that O'Kelly guy who told him exactly what to confess in writing, emailed Brendan's (then) lawyer that all of the Avery family should be wiped out, [b]and then cried on the stand.[/b] Ugh. [/quote]

That was one of the most bizarre things I've seen someone on a witness stand do. Start crying for the victim even though you were supposed to be working for the defendant? WTF. If ever there was a case for several examples of conflict of interest, the Dassey/Avery cases would be it.[/quote]
