https://news.yahoo.com/3-detectives-obtained-false-murder-130805486.html

Thus is very long so I know some won't want to read it all

The gist is that in 1989, a black woman was found murdered in her home. Cops did a really lousy investigation and decided her son did it based on false leads like a teacher mistakenly saying he had missed their class the day of the murder. The teacher later corrected and said he had been in class but the cops ignored the correction

Anyway the cops tricked him into a false confession and he spent decades in prison on top of having lost his mother

If the cops are still alive they should be put in prison for the rest of their lives.

Cops lie and harass to get false confessions. They don't care about whether you actually did it, only that they have someone to blame for it. That's why you don't talk without a lawyer present.

I know a police chief who started out in the 70s and was told "What you do is you scream at them and bang on the table until they confess. If they don't then just scream and bang louder until they break"

He says it's not like that anymore, but it shows the mindset of cops. They're doing a by the numbers job, they don't care if a confession is genuine or not

^ Hey now that's completely unfair!

More like no investigation..."dead person? there is a black person here as well he must have done it!".

Coaxing a false confession should be punishable by 10+ years in prison. Its absolutely bull shit.

Theres a cop who posts here who has told stories in the past of arresting people and lying to them - telling them their friends snitched on them to try and get a confession/accusation out of the person. Absolute scumbag shit.

If anyone hasn't you should check out "The Confession Tapes" on netflix. Its a series that talks about cops planting seeds and forcing false confessions out of people. Really eye opening and extremely sad. Never talk to a cop without a lawyer. No matter what they tell you, you can't help yourself in anyway by speaking to them.

There's a better chance that the next time you sneeze, gumballs pop out of your ears.

I didn't see any mention of that but I may have missed it. I read like maybe 75%, and skimmed the rest

Well it's possible he is dead. They mention a guy in the article who died I think shortly after this kid was arrested. I feel like he might have been the killer. Someone else killed him in turn. Before he ever talked to cops.

Or get investigated properly to determine if he was the real killer/ not just blaming the son
