Since we quoted from the Daniel King case, here's a little more:
..."While most police departments moved away from a confession emphasis in investigations after Miranda, the NCIS continues to place an inordinate emphasis on interrogation and continues to engage in to trick or coerce confessions from sailors and Marines. As discussed below, NCIS agents are trained in interrogations with the use of a manual that construes virtually any response to a criminal allegation as evidence of guilt. According to the interrogation manual for the NCIS, an individual who denies an allegation or expresses a concern over his future is viewed by the NCIS as indicating guilt and beginning a confession."....
This is the Hamdania (Pendleton 8) case. I don't think there was much physical evidence. All of the pleas were based on confessions after "heavy-handed techniques". The last three standing will be convicted based on these confessions from the previous pleas.
In Haditha, I hope no pleas muddy the waters.
