and franks is thought to have wanted revenge. the police are relentless and pressed until he cracks. of july one thousand nine hundred ninety one and exhausted frank admits to the mud his confession is recorded. many years later 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 stirling 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 got released.

for freedom. for frank sterling obtained his freedom largely due to the vigorous efforts of his lawyer. under the war where the question remains why did he ever confess to a crime he never committed. and beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really in a court 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 to read 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 back. sasha shoulders. trying to be all buddy buddy when we're here for you. and i was so gracious and myself well i try to let you know that. i didn't do it you're not listening 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 they are rubbing his feed and rubbing his back and having him lie on the floor and 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.

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. like you're floating he said on the chair which are you know as if you feel like you're sitting in a chair no way to any shoulders. no scars no a. to look at a body yeah why does someone go through this crying that she didn't do.

you know lesbian so tired you really like four hours sleep you know for three days and. i just want to go on more sleep you know and yes. i was very. prejudices your finals is difficult for you ok. if something happened 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. in a friendly smile the 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 to his 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 and use it to training courses and they brought them back and tested again what they found one hundred ninety officers now 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 do 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 across the ankles of the chair no correlation deception. and possibly stress but there is no difference whatsoever and when i contact liars make it a true killers and no connection. and now the myth of 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 their greatest spotting lie before and worse in civilian population and had no training in deception which tells you what about training. to general. robida back in the know 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 is 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 you go back to work. switch remember to smile another is courtney love suspected of being a drug addict now ron nothing to do and that will. by god i'm going to ask a lot of questions that 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 to see her version of body away get multiple answers if she has a good strong cause to be avers was consistent was only being deceptive if you and

later we know that she has had a long history of drug abuse. you are on nothing now so the first question is very general you know nothing today no and in barbara they ask. a more pointed question now you see you react no more heroin and so you are about to jump wrong nothing today and that no. zagat of facial 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 and that and watch your body back. in away from barbara and multiple no answers. or. a notice we haven't really answered their own question you're back to prozac and

sure as you're 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 goddesses and of like god put 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 that any stress or cause or 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 in 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.

please please please. please please. please. margie dot com is launching a special project to mark the appalling scale of violence in iraq. we want you to know. americans also came up with another reason to reach a democracy people wanting to be listening to people wanting to be free you reach is also you know part of the masses show a revolution always a new more. the more of those two you. know you say this.

loosely push you create the conditions you say some country house at least one of mass destruction. in the case of. this was a life. right on the street. first street. and i were being put. on a reporter's twitter. and instagram. to be in the middle. on.

plug live. live. live. live league live. live.

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 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 scandal in the history of the state of arkansas. to claim. i mean kyra listen to some some of the story.

and i'm going to like you he is your boy archie. where we're very intelligent. and the viral irony is you know that i broke it and. there's no indication a british. show your sister died and there was only two people in the us it could kill. you that you only wanted a book right oh i don't like your shit ok the tone is set right from the start the police never questioned 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 then i was going off. 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 a man old intelligence to fight. oh. yes for it. all i don't know i really want to know. if i want it if your mother didn't leave my. you know you did. well. and kill. a few kids i didn't. feel like a lot. thomas

will deny killing his sister thirty six times. already. they told me to see the man my mom and i completely trust my mother to protect me my sister and all too. 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 died and i don't remember doing it. but. got so confused and i just 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 yes

q ok sure but my medication. what do you got if you know. did you. gate but i really think that. you're going to have to sit. and help yourself you're going to hear it is. our party. 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 didn't. cripple. the 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 i'm a black girl. because the cops i knew piper cost a lot of money. nobody

came. oh 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 right. when we. know he hollered and he went he got.

hit strained and then he went to get home and i was having a semicolon kind out here you know i had to write. i don't remember but i don't think. i did it was. ya know. you don't think. it was they didn't notice it was gone but as soon as my mother. who was there to help me but she betrayed me very much for of . just spring was threw me to the cops and said he did it. they were going to grow but i always got on my car. the only way to peer. pressure. 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 i don't know 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. turn off the t.v. . next

morning. he. can. show off scale. or he 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 consoles her. to this day the 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 will later proved innocent about ninety had made false confessions during interrogations that had been wrongly conducted. the. is obviously more for the latest because it's pink. when they wanted to avoid rate they really needed to buy guns environ how to use them. this is the one that i want

to go with them once again it's the fields that are. definitely the target of the gun lobby and you don't kill them when the killing money but if somebody with you with this with her. i'm noticing more and more if that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink or. more kids young kids choke on food than are killed. by firearms if being armed made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on earth were clearly not the safest. pick your country iraq afghanistan libya saudi arabia israel egypt syria turkey and even away and in each washington finds itself under the odd man out leaving alone for leading from behind in a muddled path is the u.s.

simply out of touch or is history in the region merely being on. if you. start to construct. a little bit. don't want to be gangstas you don't want to be. they don't want to blow with the time that the king came to be we can see. you just me as i was when i was in the hood. i said. i don't want to die i just really do not want to die young young.

tonight deadlines for the elimination of syria's chemical weapons a set but finding a country to take can destroy the toxic stockpiles proving far more challenging than expected. a warning for will so blowing a u.s. high could gets ten years behind to breaking into a private company. spying database which revealed the white house was keeping an eye on human rights activists nationwide. and japan will back down on a promise to return all evacuees to their homes near fukushima despite alarming radiation levels well outside the exclusion zone. this is close to the average level of the girls down in the chernobyl zone only with one exception the place where i'm at right now.
