Chromatic posted:The detective told him his rights at the beginning I thought. At the very least, he told him that he can walk away at any time and can contact a lawyer. The Reid Technique is really risky that way because it's easy to make it work. If you've got all the evidence you want and you just need a confession to clinch it, you can goad the suspect into admitting guilt and have an airtight case. But if you have a weak case, you can also use it to just force a confession out of an innocent person who isn't strong enough to hold their ground. That's what ended up happening with Cory Armishaw. Jim Smyth admitted to knowing that their case was weak (they didn't even have a suspect at the time, let alone evidence that Armishaw did it) and basically needing a confession to actually convict anyone, and he was convinced that Armishaw was guilty anyway. Didn't really have proof, but he figured he was right; the guy's the boyfriend of the dead baby's mom, so he's an easy suspect number one. So he pretended that he had the evidence and convinced Armishaw that he was going to prison no matter what, and the only thing he could do was try to save his reputation by confessing before going behind bars for a very long time. Luckily, other people saw through it and realized that a likely innocent man was being manipulated into confessing for something he didn't commit and got the case thrown out.

Yeah that's sort of the inherent problem with the Reid Technique, the cop can just go in and pretend to have a mountain of evidence against even an innocent person and if the suspect doesn't really understand their rights and/or is insufficiently strong-willed, you can convince them that playing along with you is their only chance to mitigate their supposed predicament a little bit (and even that part is bullshit, since that's what courts are for, not cops). Smyth goes through the exact same steps with Russell Williams, although in that case I think the tire-tread and footprint evidence he uses to crack Williams was actually real and not bullshit. That said I would still like to have Jim Smyth read me bedtime stories to lull me to sleep at night

Yeah, the evidence against Williams was legit, like they matched a bootprint found at the scene to a boot recovered from his home and matched tire treads from the scene to his Nissan Pathfinder. His arrest opened up a ton of other cases where an unknown suspect had broken into homes to sexually assault women, as they could now start connecting them to Williams and it was becoming apparent that they had caught a serial rapist. A confession was just needed to help with an already good case against him. The dude even had 48 pairs of stolen women's underwear neatly cataloged within his home. When the interrogation was over, he told the cops where they could find all the evidence in his home and where he buried the body.

It's easy enough to say that you could never imagine yourself caving to an interrogation, but I bet you also can't imagine yourself ever being the primary suspect in a murder investigation.

In britain there was a whole bunch of people locked up for like 20 years because they looked "a bit irish" and so the investigators got coerced confessions out of them as well as some bullshit evidence. This was around the time of the anti irish hysteria during the troubles so that's why.

The shoes had Staker's blood on them, but the prosecution withdrew the evidence prior to Rivera's first trial when it was discovered that the shoes were not available for sale anywhere in the United States until after the murder. DNA testing conducted on the shoes in 2015 indicated that the blood indeed belonged to Staker, but also contained another genetic sample – one that matched the semen sample. Rivera's defense team insists that this is proof not only that the blood was planted, but that the real killer's DNA was inadvertently planted as well. The DNA has yet to be matched to an individual but has been linked to DNA from another home invasion and murder. The man convicted of that crime also claims he was wrongfully convicted. Holy poo poo

Watching that colonel sweat it out during that interview reminded me of another video of a creepy dude. It was an interview with some guy (I think he had long hair) who claimed to be the close friend of this girl who'd gone missing. He's blathering a lot the whole time, and you can see he's getting nervous when the interviewer mentions police found the body. Turns out the guy was the murderer, surprise surprise.

Phanatic posted:Legitimate complaint? They weren't complaining about noise or stench or disrepair or a meth lab or anything like that - they were concerned that the apartments were being rented to "strangers" and "tourists" instead of long-term renters. Why's it any of their business? All they were complaining about were violations of arbitrary city ordinances, and when they ratted on their neighbors they found out they themselves were living in violation of arbitrary city ordinances (again, there's no safety issue alleged about their units). First, it's illegal. Second, the use of apartments for AirBnB causes rent to go up because it takes legitimate rental properties off the market and turns them into hotels, again illegally. San Francisco is notorious for this because rent is already high, and a lot of apartments are being used for AirBnB instead of rental units, something that could potentially lower the rent. Also, this lady was not in the wrong, it was their landlord.

Arena, who was only 2 years old at the time of Staker's murder and 8 at the time of the retrial, testified that she remembered the events of the evening and identified Rivera as the man who had attacked Staker. Convicted on the testimony of an 8 year old remembering things from when they were 2.

As far as we know, he wasn't; the cops didn't even have a suspect named and it was still ambiguous as to whether or not the death was intentional (it was identified as shaken baby syndrome, which can easily be an accident). But Armishaw thought that he was going to prison as the murderer anyway, and thus had no way out except confessing and pretending to be sorry about it to look better in public after his name was released. So it doesn't even need to involve "caving to an interrogation". If you're someone who trusts the police not to lie and they say that they have a ton of evidence that you committed a crime and are definitely going to go to prison if it goes to trial, are you going to just stay silent and try to fight it in court?

Unfortunately, it's really common (especially on the right-wing side of things) to have total faith in the police and fully accept everything they do and their explanations and excuses as gospel. Any complaints are excused as "just a bunch of low-lifes whining that they got caught breaking the law". If the complainer can't be called a low-life who got caught breaking the law, replace with a long rant about how much cops risks their lives for our safety and freedom and we should be thankful that they don't let thugs overrun us and rape our wives.
