Like most people in the new year, you have probably become fascinated with the new Netflix phenomenon that is Making a Murderer and if you are one of the few who haven’t, then be prepared to become intrigued after hearing this new rap song by Brendan Dassey’s half-brother Brad.
The rap song, entitled “They Didn’t Do It,” defends Brendan and his uncle, Steven Avery, who have both been charged and convicted of the rape and murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. It’s a case that was documented over the course of 10 years in the popular show. The rap song, with lyrics like “not a fair trial, not a fair game” and “stick to the facts, leave alone Mr. Kratz,” arises amidst the calls for appeals and pardons for the convicted. The December premiere of the documentary, which highlighted an alleged miscarriage of justice, has sparked renewed interest and investigation into the case.
We’re not sure just how much of an impact this track will have in convincing the state of Wisconsin that Dassey and Avery are innocent… but if nothing else, at least it’s feeding our ever-growing desire for even more information on the case.
