“We are grateful to amici curiae Juvenile Law Center, Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates, Inc., and University of Virginia School of Law Professor Brandon Garrett. Those organizations worked together to file an unprecedented “friend of the court” brief explaining that Brendan’s videotaped interrogation was so problematic that it is now shown to officers around the country as an example of “how not to interrogate.” We are also grateful to our longtime colleague and co-counsel Robert Dvorak of the Milwaukee firm Halling & Cayo.”
