Dassey, along with his uncle Steven Avery was the subject of the highly touted Netflix docuseries "Making a Murderer". In 2007, Avery and Dassey were found guilty of the sexual assault and murder of Teresa Halbach. The documentary brought up questions regarding the validity of Avery and Dassey’s convictions and created a national dialogue about America’s criminal justice system. Viewers of the program submitted a petition to the White House to have Avery and Dassey pardoned in the wake of the evidence presented by the show. Along with true crime podcast Serial, "Making a Murderer" has tremendous power to interest citizens in the criminal justice system and marks a shift from the traditional conditioning to support “tough on crime” policies that crime shows usually present.

Like many of our readers, I was shocked by the outcome of last Tuesday’s election. In the following days, I, like many others, was at a loss for words and struggled to think of a productive way to move forward. This is a difficult time, not just for Democrats, but also for many others who believe a Donald Trump presidency will fail to protect and possibly infringe upon their constitutional rights. While President Obama and Hillary Clinton have called for unity, such calls are utterly impractical following an election fraught with fear and bigotry. Having been the primary source of such vitriol, any expectation of national reconciliation and unity should be placed on the president-elect, not the public.

It’s widely known that mental health is a serious problem on campuses, the scale of which is astounding. This issue also extends beyond colleges, as the American Counseling Association demonstrated when it found that 40 million Americans aged 18 and above suffer from an anxiety disorder. The prevalence of this issue makes it important we find effective tools to fix it. One approach is to strengthen and publicize resources available for students dealing with mental health problems, but this is just part of the problem. A more difficult problem is how to ensure that people receive treatment.
The University’s Virginia Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi’s lawsuit will see differences from former Associate Dean of Students Nicole Eramo’s successful lawsuit against Rolling Stone Magazine.
A federal jury awarded former Associate Dean Nicole Eramo $3 million in damages Monday in her defamation suit against Rolling Stone magazine, Wenner Media, Inc. and writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely.
Last week, a jury ruled that Rolling Stone’s “A Rape on Campus” contained actual malice against former Associate Dean Nicole Eramo. This brings near closure to a two-year ordeal for Eramo, who was met with messages such as “You let us down!” and “Stop protecting them” on the doors of Peabody Hall, among many other professional hardships. The jury’s decision validates what people who knew Eramo always believed: she did not deserve to be harmed by such a reckless disregard for the truth.
