Ep. 152: The Shape of a Confession Part 2

Season 4 | Episode 152
31m | Apr 25, 2026

A confession should settle a case. But what happens when the confession becomes the question?

This week on Spirits with Crime, we continue one of the most controversial cases in modern true crime, following the interrogation of Brendan Dassey, the trial that followed, and the legal battle that forced unsettling questions about suggestion, memory, and whether a story can be shaped in real time.

The conclusion of this case will absolutely have you reeling, and questioning when a confession reflects truth and when might it reflect pressure instead. Cheers!
