and all the things that are destructive to our health both of these paths have positive and negative effects but they are a lot better than our current plan of ban some harmful thing for some reason and a lot other harmful things because while they lobby better but that's just my opinion. the crime is not a 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 all 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 viola manning and franks is thought to have wanted revenge.

the police are relentless and press sterling until he cracks. eleventh of july one thousand nine hundred ninety one and exhausted frank sterling admits to the mudda his confession is recorded. many years later the murder of a four year old girl is arrested he also confesses to the murder of viola manning and traces of his d.n.a. confirm the fact. frank sterling is released on the twenty eighth of april 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. oh yeah. freedom. from frank sterling

obtained his freedom largely due to the vigorous efforts of his lawyer. during the war where the question remains why did he ever come face to a crime he never committed. and 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 sterling only his confession was filmed but the video speaks for itself. the two policemen had applied the reid method as well as some of their own making. they offering coffee and donuts to prepare frank sterling for his final declaration of guilt. but what had gone on before. i remember the. shoulders.

trying to be all buddy buddy and we're here for. a. lecture and all that. you're not listening to me. over an hour 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 they are rubbing his feed and rubbing his back and having him lie on the floor put his feet up on the chair and whispering in his ear 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 in the video 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 shoulder as the other is holding his hand. if you. were does you can't. you're going to speak up. sort of like you're floating he said on the chair but you're going on as if you feel like you're sitting at a chair no weight any shoulders. no scars no way. to look at a body. why does someone can say this crime that he didn't do.

you know has been so tired you know really like four hours sleep you know for three days and like. i try to go on or sleep you know. yes. it's very. prejudiced your mind also didn't go for it ok. if something happened with them. yes you're. one of. the ratio yes even when you're learning. something.

anything religion is difficult for. the regime leaders gives them. yet. 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 law expert. it's even inspired hollywood and its popular series lie to me because. certainly the small psychologist helps result crimes by observing body language and facial expressions it may be human nature so 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. the step that people . will to his crisscrosses the united states to spread the basics of good interrogation techniques to the police. is unique methods upset many of the theories online including those of his pee is. 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 test them again

what they found one hundred ninety officers now got better in an improved after two courses so they looked at the content the courses and found those courses were perpetuating the myths stem malta's campaigns against preconceptions and received ideas are very little body language has anything to do with the steps in crossing arms what else. could it what is because a hand up bone hazing the other question legs sitting on hands wrapping feet around a chair holding on cos of the angles of the chair no correlation deception not. possibly stress but there is no difference whatsoever when i contact liars make a true colors and no connection. and now the myth the myth of i move a little left looking right and i'm swimming against the tide and i get academies that hate me for this and kids my. kids are doing

a disservice teaching again and again and again trained officers who thought her greatest body lie before and worse in civilian population and had no training in deception which tells you what about training. to general. 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 to live there wasn't so much as deception here with president clinton other then there were some symptoms it tows 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 it is a parent's faceless 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 you go back to work. switch from anger to smile another is courtney love suspected of being a drug addict now wrong nothing to do and that will know her by god i'm going to ask you all the questions that people think now my parents that out and out with courtney love you see shock when she's asked about their own question was a good stress marker to see her own version of body away get multiple answers if she has a good strong cause to be a vors 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 barb they ask. a more pointed question now you see you react no more heroin and you nobody jump wrong nothing today no. series agitated face expression the large eyes from a shock response of the question miss when stones are so it's as if i were the interviewer there means i would follow up on her own questions that's a simple me of of incriminating potential my god i'm going to ask you all the questions that people think and i want her on that and watch her body back. in away from barbara and multiple no answers. a notice we haven't really answered their own question you're back to prozac and should ask you 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 insanity a chap 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 i'm there when issue comes up to keep getting these powerful responses and i keep getting similar cluster behaviors of anaemic stress or cause to behavior that we think art 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 when thomas' moya believes the police became fixated with his behavior which they judged as to come and convince them that thomas had killed his sister. do we speak your language of the law or not. there. were news programs and documentaries and spanish matters to you breaking news a little eternity bangalore's keep these stories. are you here.

to try to alter the spanish find out more visit i too am a dad. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth and might think. it's because one full attention and the mainstream media work side by side the joke is actually on we're going to come together. and our teen years we have to put it right. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not god. i'm ok.

you guys talk to the jokes well handled it makes sense that i got. arab nationalism from one end of the middle east to the other was the desire on the part of nasr and the bath party many arabs proposed this the national cohesion was not there and we're seeing that again in syria we're seeing that in iraq we're seeing that the fragmentation of these these movements these rebel movements are leading to the breakup while the then the unification of the arab world almost i never meant a two state solution that's a three state solution you can't get hamas and fatah to work together let me say how a change could take place on expectedly. the prime minister netanyahu has been very bellicose about it starting a war with iran and the start of a war would probably bring on the israelis.

the 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 is 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 candle in the history of the state of arkansas. state police. i mean. some of the story.

like it is. and the viral irony you know that broke and. there's no indication of a break here. so your sister. and there was only two people in the us it could kill. he. that's the only way i can be 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 were so fast and we just sat there for hours not knowing what was going to happen. just i was lost it's no longer an interrogation but

a never ending series of accusations. that would leave a man old intelligence. well. rick. oh i don't know i didn't want to know. why do. i want it if your mother didn't leave i didn't kill. you know you did. well. i don't think. you can do i didn't. i did it i feel well.

thomas will deny killing his sister thirty six times. do you. they told me mom and i completely trust my mother to protect me my sister had all gone so she couldn't have 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. don't remember doing it. so confused. can't take the pressure and. the police use the smallest details of the boy's life to further incriminate him. hero problem. yes. keisha. my medication. what do you tell if you know.

did you. control. my gate but i really think that you are going to feel yourself. and to help yourself you're going to hear it is. hard. like. most kids would have confessed to this crime a lot saying it's a it's absolutely amazing that he was able to withstand their. badgering of him as long as he didn't. the constant harassment

has a name the police call it quote cooking over a small fire the officers leave the room and leave thomas to stew on his own there's no need for physical precious 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. who was shaken nerves sweat and cry and this is an emotional breakdown. confused by the accusations thomas begins to break down. while there i thought maybe i'm a black girl. because the cops and if i'm to cop to the law and me. well. 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 really know he hollered and he went he got. hit strained and he waited. and i don't have another son he's coming home to have

me kind out here you know i had to write. i don't remember but i don't think. i did it it was. ya know. you don't think. it was they didn't notice it was gone but as soon as my mother. who's there to help me but she betrayed me very much for of. and just spring was through me to the cops and said he did it. they're going their own. ways you know my car american don't know where. this is my condemned 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 saw talking to me tell me that it was only me who could know 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 made and they said that in a so they added beats bits and pieces for me to add in my story to look fit what

they wanted it to. and 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. . line off.

next morning. he. can. show off scale. henri sent lane 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. 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.

then he consults. to the state investigation into the murder of young katie remains unresolved. the reason the questioning of thomas went so badly is that the police are 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. if you. are tentative. start to construct. don't want to be in bed. don't want to meet gangsters you don't want to. deal with they don't want to blow

with the time that the kid came be we can see. you just means a hundred hours and i was in the hood and with a thirty round clip. like that. i don't want to die i just really do not want to die young. well if you're going to like these. people. pleasure to have you with us here on t.v.

today i'm sure. the idea that heads of government think they can talk free deal the. belgian the risk of being intercepted whether by agencies of another state or even by by private enterprises is crazy. to see. first street. and i think picture. on a reporter's. instrument. pm

here in moscow the future of serious talks it also is due to be decided today after damascus destroyed all production facilities the question now is where will those weapons go we follow it up. washington tries to whitewash a multi-million dollar. british inquiry into the roots of iraqi invasion in case it reveals a few painful home truths between bush. and america moving private prisons for tougher sentences more inmates but cohen tells us how profits a big put before rehabilitating criminals into society.
