The False Confession Capital, The Race To Save The Tortoise, Hugh Jackman

It's hard to believe people would confess to a heinous crime they didn't commit, but they do -- especially teenagers; Also, turtles and tortoises have been roaming the planet for 200 million years, but now many of them are endangered by poachers who can sell some animals for as much as $60,000; And, Scott Pelley profiles the Australian actor who now says he's doing the "role of a lifetime" as Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables."
Make confession of a crime to a police officer or an investigator NON-ADMISSIBLE in court. The confession to a crime should only be admissible if presented publicly and in the presence of a public defender.
South Korea Court of Law does not allow confession to a police officer or to an investigator as valid. Google the name "Kenzi Snider" and read about her case. She is an American student in South Korea who was coaxed to admit to a crime she did not commit but because confession to anyone other than a public defender is not admissible, she was saved from the death penalty or life imprisonment.
What happened to my previous comment ? I said the same message.
A little more than a month later - after police investigators and high-ranking officials hit the airwaves decrying them as young monsters--the boys were freed. Forensics tests uncovered ***** on the girl's underwear, which, because of the boys' ages, could not have come from them. The evidence implicated an older man, Floyd Durr, 36 who had a long history of sexual assaults of girls . this man brothers also covicted of rape and murder . I remember the city tried to say that the littele boys kill the girl and he just happen to find her after she was dead dose that sound familiar ? at one point they were going to use the criminal as a witness against the children . this case made me so sick be cause it was so clear that the boys did not do this crime .yet they destroyed these children lives .this case was all over the new all over the world.
