Some policemen interrogate a boy whos sister has been found dead. They try to make him confess to the murder using bully tactics and psychologically messing with him over a period of ten hours. Disturbing to watch
The family is suing. Crazy thing is that the police got another boy who lived nearby to confess as well, and were charging a total of 3 neighborhood kids, including Michael with the murder.
Those poor families.
Why do some cops feel such an urge to force someone to confess -- is it more important to convict anyone than it is to convict the guy who fucking did it?
Unfortunately, yes. It looks better on the cops to have someone behind bars then a list of suspects. With someone behind bars, the neighbourhood can be at ease, ect. If the killer is still out there, people start to say "Well, why aren't the cops able to find them?" and get ideas of incompitence, which would
give them a worse image then they already have.
This, however, was just a cop on a mission. Like the video said, he went into that room with a pre-concieved notion that the boy had to have done it. That kid shouldn't have been alone in that room, he should have had a lawyer with him, but when you're 14 and being accused of having your sister killed you probably aren't thinking straight. The cop should definately have laid off though, without any firm proof of him being the killer, he should've been able to walk out of that room by saying "I didn't do it"..but again, no lawyer
Japan!... I'm looking at you...
