"Nobody ever thinks their stupid. It's part of their stupidity."

What a brilliant little touch.

Thanks for posting this, I love this scene.

You know we do have a trial system in this country. The burden of proof lies on the prosecutor. Why would anyone admit guilt knowing they are innocent in the face of a lie with the knowledge that the trial will expose the lie. Yeah take two years because a cop says so and then forgo your trial.

@BelfastAtheist I want to make it clear that I acknowledge there are instances in which someone who is innocent may admit guilt because of not understanding the criminal process. Different story.

[ravager135]

@BelfastAtheist Secondly, I would argue that it is rare that innocent people find themselves in interrogation rooms in this country. I am willing to bet your claim that this happens to thousands of Americans would be just as ludicrous as me claiming to understand criminal procedure in Northern Ireland. Lastly, I would rather be on trial in my country than any other country. I am sure you would say the same for your home. So my original point: don't feel bad for us.

@BelfastAtheist First off, I am atheist skeptic as well, you shouldn't be suprised when I am going to ask you to support your claim with data. I want to see a study where "thousands of innocents admitted guilt out of fear of getting a harsher sentence." Plenty of studies to support claims that people admit to guilt during torture but not many that I know of that support your claim.

@ravager135

It doesn't ''Assume'' - the statistics for this are clearly on my side.. thousands of Americans routinely admit to crimes they didn't commit. Because that cop you imagine.. well, when he's at the other end of the table saying ''Admit to this and you'll get 2, deny it and get 14'' - I wish it wasn't like this, but it is - because your Cops are allowed to lie.

[ravager135]

@BelfastAtheist Your argument assumes an innocent person is going to admit guilt simply by being lied to. I don't know about you, but if I had never touched a gun sitting in front me and a cop tells me he has my finger prints, I am not going to suddenly admit to having done so.

[ravager135]

@BelfastAtheist We have a problem with confessions that are extracted from people under torture because they are rarely accurate or truthful, but we have zero problem lying to a criminal to get self implication. If you are innocent, you can stand by your testimony. The truth is the truth and cop lying will reveal itself if he has the wrong man.

[BelfastAtheist]

It always surprises me, that Americans aren't bothered by the fact that their Cops are LEGALLY allowed to lie to detainees to extract a confession, e.g. telling Bodie they had his prints when they didn't..

Watch a European Crime-Drama and they don't do that at all, e.g. when Idris Elba plays a Cop in the British series ''Luther'' - they're only allowed to use what they have for interrogations.

if this had of been under marlo he would have been clipped for it...stringer believed he beat the police (and rightly so) but am sure marlo would have feared a snitch...fuck marlo!

@3PointFilms He reflected the working man in a truly messed up world.

By all accounts he was smart, loyal, hard working, never asked for a hand out and took his job seriously all the way to the end. His character was to represent if you took this kid and stuck him in a better neighbourhood, he'd likely be a solid part of society.

Instead he's gunned down on a corner for having lunch with a cop.
