Finally some FReepers are ready to discuss this. I watched an episode a night over the holidays.
That poor kid. I have a special needs boy. The way he was dealt with made me so angry.
Weigert. He was trained to extract confessions.
The state claimed that mom declined to sit in on his interview. Mom claimed she was never asked. If mom is telling the truth, everything should have been thrown out. I was very surprised mom didn’t take the stand to refute the state’s claim that she elected to sit in a waiting room.
Now if mom lied, then she’s a crappy mom for allowing her special needs son to go through that alone.
I agree. I watched the episodes but no one I know has watched it therefore I had no one to talk about it to. I can’t believe the way the boy was treated either. And when he asked if he would be back at school by 1:29 because he had a project due he seemed really sincere. I don’t think he knew what was going on, he just wanted out of there.
