Having watched the series, I'd feel uncomfortable clearing Dassey.
I know he comes across as unintelligent, however, to me, he doesn't protest enough for someone, a 16-17 year old in particular, that is about to be locked up for 40+ years.
I'm referring to the taped calls between Dassey and his mother, and there are several recorded while he's being held awaiting trial.
Why isn't he yelling, sobbing etc., into the phone to his mother? She's the one person on the planet who he'd believe could help him, right? But the conversations are ho-hum, with no emotion. Half the time is spent with her questioning how the hell he 'made up' the story he told investigators.
In my opinion, he was at least present during the commission of the crime and his guilt eats at him.
