The overturned conviction shined a spotlight not only on Dassey and his uncle, Steven Avery, but also pointed to the high stakes of true crime television in the age of social media.

The first trailer for CBS’ docu-series The Case Of: JonBenet Ramsey debuted on Tuesday, revisiting the murder of 6-year-old pageant star JonBenet Ramsey.
The six-hour limited event series reexamines the case with original investigators (such as the forensic scientist and former chief investigator) along with new experts.
Clemente is joined by Scotland Yard behavioral analyst Laura Richards.
The scope of the investigation includes re-examining crucial evidence using advanced technology and forensics, meticulously recreating the crime scene by rebuilding full-scale replicas of key rooms from the Ramsey house, conducting extensive interviews and introducing new theories. Ramsey was found dead in the basement of her Colorado home on December 26, 1996, and the high-profile case is still unsolved.
Her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, were initially suspects in the case, but were cleared because of DNA results in 2008.
