punishing the creator of a product and granting immunity to anyone that later reproduces said product i mean would any sane person say that if you shoot a person with a colt forty five pistol that is a crime but if you use a copycat made in mexico to blow your neighbors off well that's ok because it's a generic copy no no sane person would allow generic drug producers to have no liability for their product but that's just my opinion. the crime is that of viola manville a seventy four year old woman found dead on the twenty ninth of november one thousand nine hundred eighty eight along this dirt track. dozens of suspects will be questions and will be released including frank sterling seen in this photograph . two years later detectives trained by reed reopen the case and are convinced frank is guilty. a few years earlier his brother had been sentenced to prison for

raping. and frank sterling is thought to have wanted revenge. the police are relentless and pressed until he cranks. eleventh of july one thousand nine hundred ninety one and exhausted frank sterling admits to the murder his confession is recorded. many years later the murder of a four year old girl is arrested he confesses to the murder of viola manning and traces of his d.n.a. confirm the fact. frank sterling in. two thousand and ten after serving nineteen years now age fifty four frank has become frail and anxious and finds it hard to talk about his feelings. april twenty eighth two thousand and ten the day i get released.

whether. freedom. for frank sterling obtained his freedom largely due to the vigorous efforts of his lawyer. in the war with the question remains why did he ever confess to a crime he never committed. and police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation because there's been a sad light moment no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse. in the case of frank stirling only his confession was filmed but the video speaks for itself the two policemen had applied the read method as well as some of their own making. here they offering coffee and donuts to prepare frank sterling for his final declaration

of guilt. but what had gone on before. i remember the back rubs sasha shoulders. trying to be all buddy buddy and we're here for. like. an hour sunder basically saying myself well i try to let bragger out let you know that. i didn't do it you're not listen to me. over and over and it's like ok i'll give you what you want well they had this weird interrogation technique in your case that i've never seen before since where there robin is feeding rubbing his back and having him lie on the floor and put his feet up on the chair and whispering it is a year you know picture yourself out of the crime scene now picture the victim here she comes what do you do you know all this kind of really hypnotic kind of

suggestion. the video of the confession is just the acceptable face of what happened during the interrogation. to help frank admit to the crime he didn't commit one of the offices is rubbing his shoulders the other is holding his hand. as if you. were you can't. speak up. sort of like you're floating he said on the chair which are you know as if you feel like you're sitting in a chair in the way of any shoulders. no sars no way. to look at

a body. why does someone go through this crime that she didn't do. you know has been so tired and really like four hours sleep you know for three days and. i just want to go home or sleep you know and yes. it's very. registers your finals are difficult for your date. is something happen with them. yesterday. one of. the ratio yes even when you're learning. something.

anything religion is difficult for. the regime leaders gives them. very. yes. this form of questioning shows how an innocent man can be made to confess with no recourse whatsoever to violence psychology has thus become a powerful weapon in the hands of the police and frank was one of its deliberate victims. to prevent any possible excesses has given rise to a new kind of specialist the lawyer expert. it's even inspired hollywood and its popular series lie to me. certainly the small

psychologist helps result crimes by observing body language and facial expressions it may be human nature for the truth is written for all of us. stand walters has been a lie expert for the past twenty five years. like to say i'm taking a little trip inside the swamp of their brain. in a morning around a swamp and i'm fighting the rotten stuff and trying to drag it out for the people . who will tis crisscrosses the united states to spread the basics of good interrogation techniques to the police. his unique methods upset many of the theories online including those of his pia's. here in texas they did a study on interrogation training and they tested years officers ability to spot

deception he says to training courses and he brought them back and tested again what they found one hundred ninety officers none of them got better in an improved after two courses they looked at the content of courses and found those courses were perpetuating the myths stem malta's campaigns against preconceptions and received ideas. very little body language has anything to with the steps in crossing arms what else. could get one of them has a hand up building hazing the other causing legs sitting on hands wrapping feet around a chair holding on a cross in the ankles of the chair no correlation deception. and possibly stress but there is no difference whatsoever and when i contact lars make it a true killers and no connection. and now the myth of the myth of i move

a little left leg and right and i'm swimming against the tide and i'm going to canonize that hate me for this and kiss my. because you're doing a disservice teaching again and again and again trained officers who thought they were great at spotting lie before and worse in a civilian population and had no training in deception which tells you what about training to general. when a bag and his method is together a bundle of clues based on behavior and language which could indicate a suspect may be lying beyond any stress he may be feeling. as well known people such as bill clinton he is seen lying to the entire nation when he claims he never had sexual relations with white house intern monica lewinsky. i never told anybody it's a lot there wasn't so much as deception here with president clinton other then there were some symptoms that told us he would be totally open one he refers to monica

lewinsky is that one that is a very typical depersonalization its way of separating oneself and being above or outside the realm or better than that the other one is his emotion and using his appearance payslips person is the hostility of anger in a split second when he turns to walk away watch with a smile and not a single time. these allegations are false and i need to go back to work. switch from anger to smile another is courtney love suspected of being a drug addict now ron nothing to do and that will. my god i'm going to ask a lot of questions the people think now my parent that out and out with courtney love you see shock when she's asked about their own question was a good stress marker because see her aversion to body away get multiple answers if

she has a good strong cause to be avers be was consistent was only being deceptive that you and later we know that she has had a long history of drug abuse from. you on nothing now so the first question is very general you know nothing today no and in barbuda ask. a more pointed question now you see you react no more heroin and you are about to jump the wrong nothing today and that no. series educated face expression the large eyes from a shock response of the question this one stones or so is if i were the interviewer that means i would follow up on here on questions that's a simple me of of incriminating potential my god i'm going to ask you all the questions that people think now my hair on that and watch your body back. and away from barbara and multiple no answers. or.

a notice we haven't really answered their own question your back to project and so has your very pointedly have you ever done drugs in front of your children and watch the huge reaction again an apparent cluster behaviors of deception evident that it's a fan of like god let us out to make sure that i'm not looking for meth again body language is got a large margin of error so i'm looking at groupings and looking for it to be consistent so if found there an issue comes up to keep getting these powerful responses and i keep getting similar cluster behaviors of that damage stress or cause to behavior that we think are it and put some point consistent deception. on stem alters criticizes the most is the obsession the police have with obtaining a confession at the cost of the investigation this is what happened in the little town of camden in arkansas in early august two thousand and six when the body of

eleven year old katie was found in the small hints. she had been suffocated using a plastic bag. after a botched investigation detectives determined the murder had to have been inside the house. in fact only katie's mother melody and twelve year old brother thomas were inside. when the police arrived the military was hysterical while thomas seemed quite calm. cool and thomas's moya believes the police became fixated with his behavior which they judged as to come and convince them that thomas had killed his sister. police. today. fled

the fees are the images. from the streets of canada. look. please. please.

please technology. all the latest developments from around russia. mission and free cretaceous free. for charges free. free. free. free. old free broadcast video. free. first thing that went wrong is that as soon as the police got to the house they decided thomas had committed this crime that was their first error and then everything they did after that just compounded the error.

thomas was twelve years old at the time today he was nineteen. and the police pressure he confessed to everything and was sent to prison. the supreme court would overturn the sentence two years later after the details of his interrogation were revealed. the video recording of the interview was appalling. the pictures caused the worst police gondola in the history of the state of arkansas. there are lots of speculation. carol this december some of the story. and i'm going to like it is your boy archie. where we're very intelligent. and the viral irony is you know that i broke and. there's no indication a break here. show your sister died and it was only two people in the

us it could kill. your best you know my wife and a book there i go i live you understand it ok the tone is set right from the start the police never question thomas about his movements all the facts but are relentless convinced of his guilt the basic era which should never happen during questioning so i was scared didn't know what was going on. didn't know what to do just there things moved so fast and we just sat there for hours and not know what was going to happen. just i was lost. it's no longer an interrogation but a never ending series of accusations. that leave old intelligence to the side. oh. yes for it. all i don't know i really don't want to know. i want it if

your mother didn't leave i don't care. you know you did. well. i don't think. you can do i didn't you. feel well. thomas will deny killing his sister thirty six times. already.

they told me my mom and i complete trust my mother to protect me my sister had all to. so she's done it and the only way it could happen is if i had done it so i thought the police would tell me the truth so i just bought it and i don't remember doing it. but. scott so confused i can't take the pressure and. the police use the smallest details of the boy's life to further incriminate him. you're probably right here. keisha but my medication. what you got if you know. did you hear from. my gate but i really find it. you're going to feel yourself. and

yourself you're going to hear it is. hard. like. most kids would have confessed to this crime a lot saner it's a it's absolutely amazing that he was able to withstand their. badgering of him as long as he damn. criminals. but constant harassment has a name the police call it quote cooking over a small fire the offices leave the room and leave thomas to stew on his own there's no need for physical pressure as the suspects imagination runs wild as to what would happen if he doesn't confess the tactic works inside the mind of the twelve year old kid. oh sure you can nerves sweat and cry

and. this is an emotional. confused by the accusations thomas begins to break down. while there i thought maybe a black bell. because the cops on the appointed cops could live me. nobody. oh. well.

after more than one house cross-examination the police have still been unable to make thomas confess so they turn on his mother melody. she's bipolar and hasn't taken her medicines for six months but the police focus their questions on getting her to point the finger of blame at her own son. when we. know he hollered and he went on like a. bit strained and he went to get home as i was already telling me can i hear you know i live right here. i don't remember but i don't think so. i didn't. ya know. it was they didn't notice she was gone but

if she was my mother was he was there to help me but she betrayed me very much for of. just spreads through me to the cops and said he did it. they're going to grow but i was you know my car. went nowhere near. as his mother condemns him thomas' interrogation continues this time off camera half for a while thomas finally says i'm hungry i haven't had anything to eat all day and then they turn off the tape and they take him in the other room for the next three and a half hours they interrogated thomas just like they had been doing on tape but now they were off they could do what they wanted they could say what they wanted and

there was no evidence of what they did or what they said. turning into a girl and he's all talk to me tell me that it was only me who could have that if i do not confess before he left he was going to give me the death penalty. so he left and i got scared i called him back in there and by then i realized no way i was going to leave without telling them i did it. to tell me if i just told them the truth or what they wanted to hear i could go home so i gave them a story. and i said that enough so they added beats bits and pieces for me to add in my story to look fit what they wanted it to. and that's when i took them back on camera. off an hour later he's like an automaton that repeats everything the police have told him to confess.

so i. turned off the t.v. . and . playing off. next morning. he. shot scaled. down.

or essentially the national chief of police contacted me and asked me to contact thomas regarding his interview and they want to use it as an example of how not to interview a child and i think that's very telling. now after his admission the police leave thomas on his own to confront his mother. he whispers in her ear that he didn't kill his sister before declaring his guilt out loud.

i know. it's not. then he consults. to this day the investigation into the murder of young katie remains unresolved. the reason the questioning of thomas when so badly is of the police still focusing on confessions rather than evidence. of the three hundred one prisoners on death row or serving life sentences in the united states that were later proved innocent about ninety had made full scum fissions during interrogations that had been wrongly conducted.
