[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These high profile cases really open your eyes to the power of the police and the psychological tricks they can play to get false confessions. Those with low IQ, not much education and the young are particularly vulnerable. You see it in this case, the West Memphis 3 and Brenden Dassey's case. All false confessions that led to convictions. It's scary. I hope people are starting to see how possible it is if for someone to be innocent yet still confess due to being mentally broken down. I think it could happen to many of us, though we think it never could. [/quote]

It's crazy.

IRT the Netflix documentary it was particularly galling when the procecutor said that Knox just didn't like to be questioned, that she was hostile to authority, and implied that it was because of her 'anarchist' Seattle background. Never mind that they hauled her in late at night and interrogated her for 40+ hours over the course of 5 days and nights. Didn't let her sleep, didn't let her use the bathroom when she urgently needed to, isolated her, intimidated her, physically and psychologically abused her. They broke her, convinced her that their narrative was the correct one, and got her to say what they wanted to hear.

This happened to an intelligent person. I think you're right that it could happen to a lot of us. [/quote]
