Well who else would know about false confessions more than they do?
You think the prosecutors or the cops would ever admit to it?
no, i don't. that doesn't mean that a defense attorney isn't going to shade things his way-that's what they're paid to do.
requiring someone to say "i wish to invoke my right to remain silent" or words to that effect, just doesn't seem quite the same as beating a confession out of them with a rubber hose. excuse me for not being able to work up a nice frothy head of angst over it.
of course, i'm a STATIST and a peabrain
I never called you a statist do try to keep up.
You think the cops are going to tell them they need to say so? My bet is the cops will leave out that part and then abuse the fact that they never formally used that right.
i never said you did. do try to keep up.
there will always be bad cops; the majority play by the rules.
