false confessions
A new U.S. record for reverse-lying
The six people convicted in connection with a 1989 murder in Beatrice, Neb., were recently exonerated by DNA evidence, even though five of them had confessed. The hapless suspects had given it up partly out of aggressive police questioning, partly out of peer pressure from their co-"conspirators," partly out of the fact that they were just slow. But it goes to show ya. Anyway, the story's been out for a coupla weeks, but this link goes to a story Saturday on how one shrink helped gain the suspects' trust and eased them into remembering how they committed such a horrible crime.

Weak minds, Drug and Alcohol Issues? Maybe they should stay locked up for their own protection. People like this should be forced by law to wear Head helmets and a spaz harness.

Don't ya just love the Nixon method of recording an interview? Switch off the tape. When the other person(s) are familiar with the script, switch it on and go from there. Okay, Nixon arranged for information to be erased from a tape and these people just stopped the recorder. Different methods, same result. I suggest putting the police and the therapist who conducted the interviews in the lock up where these 6 individuals were kept. Leave them there until they believe they are guilty of...something!
