If anything, it's the other way around. In most urban sh!t-holes in this country a perpetrator or witness is far more likely to fear for his life by cooperating with police.
Rahm Emanuel, the Mayor of Chicago, is asking for a $900 million loan to pay off some settlements for several individuals that were “tuned up” by the Chicago police and ended up giving false confessions to major crimes they didn’t commit.
It was the Prosecutor who threatened them with death. In my opinion he should be in prison tomorrow and spent the next 22 years of his worthless life bent over a prison bunk.
Only interesting of if ya don't know how things work...
Police lie to and threaten people being interviewed daily, as a matter of routine...And have done so for hundreds of years.
This is nothing new.
I was responding to a question, not to anything in the article.
The question was Why would anyone confess to a crime he didn’t commit?
And indeed, that’s what happened: He was threatened with the death penalty if he did not confess.
