They just use the reid interrogation techniques to coerce a conviction.
Sounds like the Mueller investigation.
In the old days, if they couldn’t figure out exactly who killed who, they would just pick out someone who needed jailin anyway.
Sounds like the time my hometown police tried to blame a burglary on my mentally challenged brother (IQ of about 65). The only “evidence” they had was my brother’s confession that they coerced out of him after 8 hours of questioning where they told him he didn’t need a lawyer. No recovered merchandise, no witnesses, no nothing but an asshole cop who didn’t like my brother.
Not only that, the police allowed the burglary victim, a state trooper, to question my brother. My brother’s employer even swore under oath that he was at work when the burglary happened.
At the trial, they played a tape recording of the “confession” where parts of it had been erased. My brother’s lawyer got the police the tape was altered. If my parents hadn’t hired a good lawyer, they would have sent my brother to prison, not giving a damn that he was innocent.
Cops and prosecutors are more interested in a conviction than justice and will lie their ass off to get one.
This is the type of garbage that gives police and DAs a bad name. The detective should be imprisoned for the same amount of time the man he framed served.
Sikeston is a cesspool with city race relations at Reconstruction levels.
