Have you ever had a cop in your face?

Shocking clips from police interrogation tapes show how police spoon-feed details to Chuck Erickson to get a false confession, landing Ryan Ferguson, an innocent young man 40 years in prison. No evidence, no memory, no motive to tie either of these two young men to the murder. Erickson had a dream that he might have somehow been involved. He told friends. Friends called police and Erickson was arrested. He admits during the interrogation that he could be fabricating all of this in his mind. He is unable to provide any details of the crime. But none of this matters. Police want a confession.

This is horrible. No wonder people don't trust the legal system.

Wait, so let me get this straight. The kid had a dream that he had something to do with it, and his friends called the cops on him, and now he's admitting to hitting somebody?

I'm sorry, but did this kid NOT do this to himself? Of course if you go around saying you might have been involved in a murder and admit to hitting the victim, you're going to get in trouble.

If I got the wrong idea here, or maybe I just am not understanding, can someone kindly clear it up for me?

Miranda rights...Kid should have asked for an attorney.

speaking to the cops is always a bad idea......always keep your mouth shut

" you have the right to remain silent anything you say or do will be used against you in a court of law."

[FinallyTheNight]

A jailed person's admission of guilt IS the cops' case against that jailed person. If the cops had an actionable case against the jailed person then the jailed person's admission of guilt would be unnecessary. Don't let the cops hold court in an interrogation room.

Nothing you say will be of ANY help to you. Telling your side of the story WILL NOT help you. Cops NEVER testify on behalf of those whom they've arrested and interrogated. Cops ALWAYS testify AGAINST those whom they've arrested and interrogated. If the cops have prosecutable evidence let them use it in court.
