[QUOTE="ElscottHavoc, post: 15149939, member: 93145"] Just another off thing that occured was when Brendan Dassey was in trial and questioned about where he got the ideas about what happened in his confession. He said "books" and then followed up with the book "Kiss the Girls". I thought it was an interesting comment. I intend to at least read the summary of the events in the book in more detail because the Wiki plot outline is rather vague, so I'm saying this with little knowledge of the books plot, but it just seemed weird that we have a 17 year old with a 4th grade reading level suggesting he got his ideas from that particular book. Was it required reading in school? Not the type of book we would have read in contemporary literature classes I was in, but who knows (****ing Great Expectations). Just curious why he read (or suggested he read) that particular book, and it might be a serious judgement call, but why is a kid like Brendan Dassey who appears to not be a book worm reading James Patterson novels like Kiss The Girls ...if he had instead watched the movie version, I would assume he would have said movies instead of books. Then I'd also be curious to know if what he suggested occured to Teresa was also what occured in the book. Because if the plot of Kiss The Girls follows some of his guesses on what happened and they coincidentally matched what really occured, then that's very unfortunate because maybe he was just reaching for a murder story he had knowledge of as inspiration for what to say so he could just go home and watch Wrestlemania or something. Just a sad situation over all. Kids like him who are extremely behidmnd socially, reserved, and lack intelligence are certainly capable of being swayed whether by the officers or by Steven Avery so all in all, involved in the crime or not, I'm empathetic to his involvement at all.
