Powerful stuff. All interviews and interrogations from start to finish should be videotaped. And all police should be trained properly to keep from prompting and introducing information for the suspect to parrot back to them and to treat all interviewees professionally and humanely. A real confession is a powerful tool for justice but an important focus should be to ensure that all confessions/statements are real ones. Inducing false ones, even by accident, poisons the search for truth.
I am about to complete my CSI course and I found this very helpful, educational, and interesting. False confessions come in three stages, voluntary, coerced, or the innocent person actually comes to believe he/she has committed the crime(s) but has blocked the(m) out. We have a lot of work to do to change our judicial system.
Rule: you should NEVER OR very rarely have to lie as an interrogator! Rely on wit, intelligence and cleverness and even if you think you have to lie because you were asked a question you can't answer, you can always talk around that.
Outstanding video professor! Great summary at the end about the house of cards. It seems extraordinarily common for different pieces of dubious evidence to support and corrupt each other. Thank you for your research, analysis and insights.
It sounds like Detectives have forgotten the rule of Ethics in their work. I don't see how lying can be used as a strategy of interrogation, it seems to be the main reason why their would be false confessions.
The system is broken in that area because "those who are inflicting the coercion are eluding the responsibility of the outcome"! The Attorney General does not hold them (Stateworkers) responsible for using corrupted avenues.
Any law enforcement investigator who is a true professional CAN recognize and prevent false confessions. The key is in the management of the interview and the facts of your crime. A suspect saying "I did it" is NOT a confession. It is merely a suspect saying three words. A confession is when the investigator is able to engage the suspect in conversation that has the suspect reveal true, accurate, and secret details about the crime that only the suspect could know. The interview is not over until those facts have been independently proven true or false.

This is what happens when you're more interested in prosecution for profit instead of the truth.
