Reid Technique And False Confessions

Was it an accident or did you do it intentionally ...

Of course Reid blames the questioner for any 'false confessions'

It's frightening to think that "law enforcers" could psychologically abuse a 14 year old to extract a false confession. They probably ruined him for life.

Yes quite frightening. Will easily traumatize anyone for life.

Just watched the movie "Richard Jewel". The FBI used a Reid style technique to try to con Jewel into a confession. Bottom line is I don't see a whole lot of difference between the two (true) stories except that in one the innocent guy was never charged and in the other the innocent guy was charged and then shot dead.

Thanks Jake! Was wondering if that was part of the story.

You're quite welcome Greg. Yes, and the whole MSM as lapdog to the Fed's line was part of the story too.

Why am I not shocked?

Spot the pattern and you know what to expect.
Nevertheless, here's my shocked face: 

When Detectives brought in Tommy Lee Walker as a suspect for a gas station robbery, Fritz had his man for 12 hours in the chair in room 317. Enough time to not only change the charge from robbery to murder but to also coerce a confession as well from his beaten suspect. Sound familiar? You bet!
