It's true. Judge Duffin granted Brendan's bond motion! More later. Someone from MAM nation will download order. I'm unable to for hours.

The 27-year-old was serving a life sentence for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach.

In August Magistrate William Duffin ruled that investigators coerced a confession using deceptive tactics on the then 16-year-old Dassey. 

He overturned the conviction and ordered that Dassey be freed within 90 days unless prosecutors decide to retry him. (Read more here)

On Monday the judge ruled a supervised release while prosecutors appeal the ruling.

According to the DailyMail Dassey has until 12:00 on Tuesday to provide an address where he will reside at.  His attorneys hope to have him released by Thanksgiving.

Dassey's half brother Brad said in a comment to Fox11 news reporter Andrew Lacombre that his brother is one step closer to freedom he deserves.
