Making a Murderer’s Brendan Dassey ‘caught with PORN in his prison cell’
The 29-year-old is currently serving a life sentence for the high-profile 2005 killing of Teresa Halbach in Two Rivers, Wisconsin
ONE of the men who appears in the hit Netlfix show 'Making a Murderer' has reportedly been busted by prison guards after they found porn in his cell.
Brendan Dassey is currently serving a life sentence for the high-profile 2005 killing of Teresa Halbach in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
The 29-year-old prisoner has now had two recent run-ins with Columbia Correctional Institution officers, according to
One of the clashes is said to have happened after Dassey was collared for taking a fellow inmate's slice of French toast.
Dassey was just 16 when he confessed to helping his uncle Steven Avery kill the photographer and he has no chance of parole for another 30 years.
In March this year Dassey's cell was searched and Officer Bednarek found "one page of porn" and he was being denied the use of the prison phone for a week.
It's believed to have been a real hammerblow to Dassey who tries to call his mother Barbara Tadych and father Pete Dassey every day.
The following a month he was caught with too many pieces of toast (three) on his prison breakfast tray.
"The menu stated inmates were only allowed 2 French toast. Everyone else at the table had 2 French toast, so I know that it was not traded at the table," a prison report reads.
"When I asked Dassey where the extra French toast came from he stated 'Buss owed me one'.
"Buss at the time was a unit seven worker. By Dassey stating 'owed me one' it was more likely than not a gambling debt."
Dassey was found not guilty of gambling but guilty of having the extra slice of toast and was given another week-long phone ban.
The trials of Dassey and Avery gained global attention after the release of Netflix documentary Making a Murderer, which cast doubt on the legal processes used to convict them.
Photographer Teresa Halbach disappeared in 2005, after visiting the Avery family salvage yard in Twin Rivers.
Dassey was initially interviewed as a witness in the investigation into his uncle.
But police contacted Brendan again after his cousin Kayla said he had discussed the murder with her.
In March 2006 he was arrested and charged with being party to first-degree murder, sexual assault, and mutilation of a corpse, and was convicted in April 2007 after a nine-day trial.

During interrogations by the police he confessed in detail to helping Avery carry out the rape, killing and dismemberment of Halbach.
His confession was used as the foundation of Dassey's trial, which lacked physical evidence linking him to the murder.
But in June 2006 he recanted his admission in a letter to the judge, claiming he had been coerced and that he had taken most of the ideas from a book. He never testified against Avery.
Dassey was sentenced to life in prison with eligibility for parole in 2048.
