it's a geisha and i have all this evidence. so the first thing i tell you is. our investigation has proven that you are the one who committed this crime there is no doubt about it whatsoever we have the evidence that you did it there is nothing that you can say that will convince me otherwise all i want to know is why. could you confess to a crime that you did not commit. and interrogation technique used by the majority of police officers in the united states is causing controversy across the country. created in the sixty's by the private company john reed this method has gone on to influence most of the interrogation techniques taught in american police academies it involves nine different stages leading from confrontation to spoken confession to a final written confession this technique has allegedly compelled thousands of innocent people to confess to crimes that they did not commit interrogations should be

conducted in a non supportive environment we want to get the person on to our territory away from his or her own surroundings the interrogation room should be quiet private free of any outside distractions or noises. so please. remember what. i don't know they tell these interrogators that you can tell whether someone is guilty by looking at them and listening to what they say that confirms their belief that the suspect is guilty and it is a recipe for disaster what are finally realized what had happened in that interrogation room it was like oh my god oh my we begin to move closer shortening the distance between the suspect and ourselves moving into their personal space does. not need a yes or no they are down for. the united states in peace. of the

many failures of the criminal justice system nobody saw that coming nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in this population of wrongful conviction accusing yourself of committing a crime seems unbelievable but recently an official study from the u.s. department of justice has revealed that almost a third of the exonerated people have confessed to a crime that they did not actually commit at the beginning of the interrogation investigator enters the room stands about three or four feet away from a suspect looking down on the suspect and in a very direct and unequivocal way accuses him or of committing the crime. and that's what happens when you're dealing with crooked cops. crooked people who don't care about other people's lives. they took an oath to help to

save lives and fight for people and they did not do that and that in mass once case . they were comfortable it was satisfactory and they had a man and that's all they really wanted was the body. so they took us. from twenty one years and twelve days. trying to. then he says while those twenty three. fortune are away. what

direction i want to go out of life and everything. was. kind of slow and and when our time it's more of a seasonal type of thing. so i look to supplement my income a little bit and i made a bad bad decisions and also got out after they ate it with our katic so little bit . some people my say for a day either. and. that's where i was at that time just trying to figure things out. at age forty three more months and has spent twenty one years of his life behind bars.

in one nine hundred ninety six he's convicted of murder and sentenced to fifty years in prison at the time he's making a living by selling drugs in an apartment building in detroit. is accused of killing christina brown one of his young clients on the night of the nineteenth of january one nine hundred ninety six. however on the night of the murder lamar was far from the scene of the crime. he was at home with his six year old daughter. or a member waking up watching cartoons with my daughter that saturday morning and she woke me up at nine and i was like mom we're watching cartoons and davey and i want to where my daughter saturday morning and. that's like i want to mom found some memories. you know perhaps the last day i was out. that saturday morning more

monson is the first to arrive at the scene he finds the apartment in a state of chaos and then he sees the young christina brown lying motionless on the floor on january twentieth one nine hundred ninety six lamar went for his afternoon shift to the apartment and he found the body of christina brown he knew her as crystal. he thought she was seventeen years old it was a young tall young woman who cried herself a seventeen after she was twelve and she was another one of the dealers who dealt out of that apartment and what he found was this horrific bloody crime scene. were. she was in a state of needed medical attention. or if it were. but she was a. she was waving to me and trying to say my name and i was told that.

just hold on i want to get you know. i'm going to be long. and frantically on the run and banging on our live doors and that apartment for a call the police call him as the police came and lamar spoke to the police and the police immediately decided that he was their suspect and so on that day very day he was arrested in fact we have a police report where the detective basically says on the same day of the killing we can close this case if we can just get get our monson to confess. i got a phone call. telling me that my son had been arrested for killing a young lady. i know that could never never never be possible. from the

training that he had had from the time he was born until twenty two years when they took him away from me. i was devastated i with. i couldn't eat and i couldn't sleep i want the floor wondering what had happened why it happened and where would they choose him. kristina brown dies a few hours later in hospital. the officers of the detroit police force take more monson to the station and begin to question her. questions like she was my girlfriend and she was not girlfriend she's more like the little sister in a bunch. we live in there i never live there in the one they're. just stuff like. questioning was core from

witness to suspect. part of the interview process is you're supposed to use what recalls the behavioral analysis interview. and in that if you use these techniques it's like you know you're watching a person's body language or you're watching the way that they say something or the way that the answer your questions there's also a series of seventeen questions that each is that you can ask the person and you know based is that based on your answers on their answers and based on your observations you will be able to tell whether or not they're being deceptive or not they're guilty with over eighty percent accuracy. of every judgment i'm very it's like being a human lie detector test and the problem with that is really read itself the read people admit that is not based on any science whatsoever just based on their own

observations the real science says it's baloney it doesn't work. and it when they've done experiments with it they pretty much show that the accuracy is like flipping a coin it's fifty fifty. the reader. interrogation technique makes its debut in the sixty's it is revolutionary for police stations. john reid a police officer from chicago proposes a new and less brutal approach to interrogation. i think john reed was a reformer in many ways you have to understand that when reid came to prominence. the method that was used widely throughout the united states was what's called the third degree police officers were beating suspects into

confessing to crimes that they did or didn't commit they were tuning them up they were using the rubber hose they were grilling them for hour after hour after hour and read to his credit knew that that was a way that was fraught with danger in that it might get false or unreliable confessions the problem is that he and weed and associates today have never come to grips with act and psychological interrogation tactics can also produce false confessions. in a world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting

past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. i don't think the democrats are much mode in the go shape with the republicans or president so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by our internal our total bickering in affairs. franking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money like me twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people who rushed to

a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and it's just slowed down so much they lost jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality and you'll. find . it.

the first problem is they have this analysis by which they tell their trainees that . you can tell when someone's lying by the tone in their voice or by their posture or whether they sit rigid in their chair or relaxed whether they look at you and give you i contact or look away or look down whether they fold their arms fold their legs look up look left look right you name it it's a cue and the retreat interrogator. has a whole list of body language behaviors and verbal behaviors of the suspects says i don't know that's considered deceptive if the suspects is.

swear to god i had nothing to do with this appeals to religiosity are considered deceptive behavior they leave their trainees to believe that they are lie detectors but they are human lie detector and once you make that judgment don't turn back move on to interrogation. when i first entered into the said vision you had a lot of officers that's what they were saying and you did it your cue to who you know it was bombard me with that as i'm in a tara geisha. are to say my mind was just all over the place just devastated by what i've seen what was going on and then to get here and now you're trying to suggest that i committed the crime. the more monson's interrogation continues through the night as the hours go by the questions

progressively turn into accusations so dros she sold drugs for you. you killed her she was your girlfriend and not just creating a scenario that they wanted on despite what i was attempting to alt. relates to farms what on. so i would go back and forth and back and forth and the interrogation lasted maybe. four hours because it. is important issue you seldom will find a false confession take it in an hour seldom will you find it in two hours when you look at false confession cases twelve fifteen sixteen eighteen twenty hours could be broken down at some point the average person does what an average rational person does they conclude that i need to get out of the situation desperate to hate

it here among comfortable i'm stressed and the more i deny it the more they call me a liar and i just can't get out this way so they're looking for a way out of a bad situation. and tired. confused and that's funny over which storm taken to. mine floor locker at the time. and so i'm up there so it's the world can't sleep k. rist. came believe was going oh yeah. and you just can't imagine i'm just a miner's describe. the

process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make them one comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials. now during most interrogation the suspect is not going to just sit there and listen to you you while. develop your theme they're going to try to deny any involvement whatsoever but that should be expected many guilty people introduce their denials with permission phrases such as can i say one thing which is just listen to me but sir if i can only explain when the interrogator hears those phrases it's important to interject yourself and stop the person from continuing because you let him talk they'll say the words i didn't do it and the more often a person says they didn't do it the more difficult it becomes for us to get a confession. if you

look at any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie as fact to back it over and over and over and over and it's cutting the person off and like i said it's narrowing your options and giving you this perception that oh my god i am facing this guy knows the things that i'm guilty he has all this evidence i know that is bogus these witnesses didn't see me but they're lying on me and he's telling me that the only way that i can get a break from this is by telling him what he wants to hear. there are so stressed and they have to do with how long they've been there may have to do with the fact that it's late at night they've been accused and called a liar they've threatened promises of the maid whatever it is they get to a breaking point where they decide that it's in their best interest to confess at

this moment it's in my better interest to confess them to continue denial. lamar monson sees that he is about to be caught going to trap police detective joan going places a file on the table. the broader her office. and. she said she had a pile of files on the desk and she mentioned well you know this she was making a reference to those files being evidence begins you against me and i. ok. i don't know what that is but i haven't done anything and i don't know why i'm down here and i want to go basically. what was inside of this fight. for anything. lamar monson

tries to ignore her but american police officers have the right to lie to a suspect lying is a normal part of the process used to put suspects under pressure. i can lie. about the evidence i can tell i think i absolutely the courts allow me to live up to a point you know there's certain laws that are so outrageous that good not records are going to lead it but i can tell you all kinds of lies i can tell you that we had three or four we have four witnesses who say that they saw you take the money and you're going to cock oftentimes it will come in with a. file folder filled with papers doesn't matter what's in that file folder it could be take out menus from a restaurant ok and oftentimes there will be clipped on the top of that aisle folder a d.v.d.

ok and police officers will tell the suspect that there was a camera across the street that was filming the area where the crime occurred and that their images on the d.v.d. so there's technological evidence that police officers sometimes use other times they'll claim that they've had they found for your prints or blood evidence or d.n.a. evidence imagine a suspect in an interrogation and they're there for again some period of time that is uncomfortable and the police now are lying about the evidence that's suspect may well know full well that he didn't do anything wrong. but he's starting to feel trapped and overwhelmed by this presentation of incriminating evidence thinking i didn't do this but they're claiming they've got evidence and whether this is a set up or what i've got to find a better way out anybody who's been the victim of

a high pressure sales tactic knows what this feels like anybody who says that they would never ever confess to a crime and they didn't do. happen been under this sort of pressure. these tactics are relentless for lamar monson time seems to stand still the police detective offers him what appears to be a way out. if she was saying that she believed that i did do it and this she was willing to help me but i had to help her help me. so she began to give me a scenario. self-defense. she suggested or it probably helped my situation and then. she said if i would cooperate sani statement that i would be home by that time the next day.

over a series of other techniques with the interrogator does he narrow down for the suspect. two choices two paths oath of them involve the suspect admitting their guilt but one paints the suspect as an evil person on a monster a cold blooded remorseless killer and the other one provides an excuse for the suspect for why they committed the crime maybe it was self-defense maybe it was an impulsive act not a deliberate act not a premeditated act. and over time you know with increasing pressure on the suspect. many suspects will accept the path of least resistance and accept a less hanus explanation for why they could be there to cry.

during the scene we offer to the suspect psychological justification for the mission of the crime we don't legally justify it but we offer him a moral excuse that will minimize or justify in his own mind committing the crime and this should be done in a monologue format. it comes to the point where i'm doing this over and over and i start to see you getting to checked it and i get to the point where i think i need to come in with the final question my job by the goal of the interrogation is to limit your options and to give you the. least a temporary perception that your only option is to confess to this crime. that's the best route for you to take. a. little process the words when we have

a conversation we don't process literally what is said we process between the lines we process not what is said but what is implied when an interrogator says i think you're a good person i don't think you meant to do this i think it was an accident by the way i would have done the same thing you're thinking oh this is no big deal i can confess and that's my easy way out here. and that's the point at which people can fast. i was out of it and they're part of just ready to whatever you want on me to do maybe disarm sinusoid it in my mind . tourney he would be able to. do what's necessary to short and i was innocent and i didn't turn into a crime because i didn't commit the crime. on the thirtieth of january one thousand nine hundred ninety six at six o two am after ten hours of interrogation detective

a gorean obtains a single signature from lamar monson in this document he explains that he involuntarily stabbed christina brown detective going and was subsequently removed from the homicide unit and later terminated from the detroit police and the reason she was removed from the homicide unit was because she was accused of fabricating confessions and other words tricking people into signing false confessions. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president enjoy. more somehow want to. have to like to be pro-choice that's like them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water. question.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only known. what you need to remember is what one does not show you can't afford to miss the one and only. in high drama the saga continues also the cia says it has high confidence.
