Bobby Dassey's testimony about a statement attributed to the defendant
On Day 3, the court addressed Bobby Dassey's testimony about a statement attributed to Steven Avery and a different date in the disclosed material. The court said the date difference could affect credibility, required the State to make Dassey available for defense consultation, and allowed cross-examination immediately or later; it did not decide whether a later jury instruction would be needed.
About
The court found no discovery violation, strictly speaking, and declined a mistrial over the testimony while allowing the defense additional options to prepare for cross-examination.
