I think courts ought to disallow ANY confession not presented IN the courtroom by the accused. Cops are notorious for brow-beating people and can get a young person to sign any confession.
Interesting case, the first use of DNA evidence to clear a suspect was used in the 1980's to clear a young man who had been persuaded to sign multiple confessions. Were it not for the science, this innocent young man would be in prison today.
These kids will look "Cool" to their peers if they do "felon" crimes. It's what they are taught from the media, news, family, where they live their culture. Most would end up doing some crime anyway and it's a good way to get them off the street. No foul.
It is hard to believe that polices forced a teeneger boy to confess this heinous crime which he didn't. Where is your evidence, witnesses, etc. Is is so easy to accuse someone without enough evidence. I'd like to write more comment after this episode disclose in 48 hours. I need to get exactly why polices accused and forced him to confess. I believe it'll be more understanble after 48 hours.
a good number of these cops are cops because they need to be in control and need to be right about everything. they are neurologically incapable of admitting they made a mistake. these people gravitate to positions of authority, cops, pastors, politicians, DA's, anchors, managers, etc. when you put someone with a personality disorder in this position, this is what you get. people need to know what mental illness looks like and its not a guy in a straight jacket smearing feces over the wall, its the person at work no one can stand, the person who gets offended/feels attacked at everything you say. this has to change.
You can't even sign an aggreement to have your teeth fixed at 17, but you can sign a confession after being bullied? Well, at least the police had somebody behind bars. No need to look at the actual evidence. So what that the real murderer was still free? It's job security. No need to waste a good murderer that's keeping your overtime paycheck coming..got to love the guy..
