. 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 interrogation should be conducted in a non supportive environment and want to get the person on to our territory away from his or her own surroundings interrogation room should be quiet private free of any outside distractions or noises. so please tell us whether your member want
11:34 pm
to be on 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 we begin to move closer shortening the distance between the suspect and ourselves moving into their personal space facilitate their. need a yes or no they are down for. the united states to be proud 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.
11:35 pm
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 a life and fight for people and they did not do that and that in mass in 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.
11:36 pm
from twenty one years and twelve days. ninety nine he says while his twenty three. fortune are away. what direction i want to go out of life and everything. was. kind of slow and and when it's it's more of a seasonal type of thing. so i look to supplement my income
11:37 pm
a little bit and i made a bad bad decisions and also got out fifty eight with arcot aqsa little bit. some people myself for of the other. and. as far was it at times as 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.
11:38 pm
it 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 even more memory going out watching cartoons with my daughter that saturday morning and she woke me up at night and i was like mom we're watching cartoons and davey and i want to wear my door on a saturday morning and i. best like i want to. you know perhaps the last day i was out. that saturday morning lamar 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
11:39 pm
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 tal young woman who just 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 and it's just horrific were you were she was a. she was away from me and trying to say my name and i was told there were just hold on i want to get you out. and i'm going to go on. and frantically on the run and banging on all the doors and. for
11:40 pm
a call the police will call him 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 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 how with thick. and i couldn't sleep i walked the floor wondering what had happened why
11:41 pm
it happened. and where would they trust tina brown dies a few hours later in hospital. the officers of the detroit police force take lemoore monson to the station and begin to question her. questions like she was my girlfriend and she was my girlfriend she's more like the little sister of a bunch. we live in there i never live there in the one me i'm there. just fly the 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
11:42 pm
a series of seventy 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. verify 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 at mit that is based on any science whatsoever which is 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 reed interrogation technique makes its debut in the sixty's and it is revolutionary for police stations.
11:43 pm
john reed 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 feeding suspects into confessing to crimes they did or didn't commit. they were tuning them up they were using the rubber o's 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 in this is today have
11:44 pm
never come to grips with this act and psychological interrogation tactics can also produce false confessions. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten light colored timestamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred treat her circuit first chicken and bitcoin 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 numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only.
11:45 pm
for. coming. the first problem is they have this analysis by which they tell their trainees that
11:46 pm
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 a suspect says oh man i 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.
11:47 pm
when i first entered into the home said the vision you had a lot of officers that's what they were saying you did it you're cute are you who you know it was bombard me with that and i'm in a target. are to say my mind was. 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 can t. . unused through the night as the hours go by the questions progressively turn into accusations sold rose she sold drugs for you. you killed her she was your girlfriend and just creating a scenario that they wanted con despite what obvious attempting to
11:48 pm
relate to far as what on. so i would go back and forth and back and forth and the interrogation lasted maybe. four hours because if it. is important issues you seldom will find a false confession taken an hour seldom will you find that 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 this situation desperate they 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
11:49 pm
tired. confused and that's funny over which. taken to. one floor locker at the time and so i'm up there since the world can't sleep k. rest. came believe was going on. and you just can't imagine i'm just a mind is describable. 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 interrogations
11:50 pm
the suspect is not going to just sit there and listen to you while you 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 could only explain when the interrogator hears those phrases it's important to interject yourself and stop the person from continuing because you will let him talk to 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 is narrowing your options and giving you this perception
11:51 pm
that oh my god i am facing this guy knows the things that i'm guilty he has all the 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. they're 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 or break . in point when they decide that it's in their best interest to confess at this moment it's in my better interest to confess than to continue denial. lamar munson sees that he is about to be caught in a trap police detective joan going places
11:52 pm
a file on the table. of the broader her office. and. she said she had apollo files on the desk and she mentioned well you know this she was make a reference to those files being evidence begins here against me and i'm like. ok. i don't know what that is book 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
11:53 pm
to live up to a point you know there's certain laws that are so outrageous that records are going to let it but i can tell you all kinds of lies i can tell you that we have 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 holder 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 there are images on the d.v.d. so there's technological evidence that police officers sometimes use other times
11:54 pm
they'll claim that they've had they found fingerprints or blood evidence or d.n.a. evidence imagine a suspect and then 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 we 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. well set up or what i've got to find a better way out anybody who's been the victim of a high pressure sales tactics knows what this feels like anybody who says that they would never ever confess to a crime that they didn't do. haven't been under this sort of pressure. these tactics are relentless for lamar months some time seems to stand still the
11:55 pm
police detective offers him what appears to be a way out. 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 cope. so she began to give me a scenario or self-defense. she suggested or it probably helped my situation and then. she said if i would cooperate send a statement that i would be home by that time the next day. over a series of other techniques with the interrogator does in narrow down for the suspect. two choices to pass oath of them involve the suspect admitting their guilt but one paints the suspect as an evil person
11:56 pm
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 heinous explanation for why they can be taught to cry. during the theme 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
11:57 pm
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 my goal of the interrogation is to limit your options and to give you the at least a temporary perception that your only option is to confess to this crime. that's the best route for you to take. legal process the words what 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 and by the way i would have done the same thing you're thinking oh this is no big deal i
11:58 pm
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 there. are just ready to whatever you want to me to do maybe decide i'm sinusoid it and my mind. turning that he would be able to. the what's necessary to sort it out was innocent and i didn't commit this crime because i didn't commit the crime. on the third. of january one thousand nine hundred ninety six at six o two am after ten hours of interrogation detective ago in 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
11:59 pm
she was removed from the homicide unit was because she was accused of fabricating confessions and other words tricking people into signing false confessions. and this young the lying circumstances that allowed for the emergence of this very very violence i think that we may get the sons and even grandsons of dies at some point in the future it's primarily a political issue none of that has taken on the minutes we. normally for cations.
12:00 am
i. think. we could demonstrations across frauds culminating with violence in the streets of paris where tear gas and water cannon deployed a correspondent got caught up in the come ocean. not a bit of difficulty opening my eyes right now nuts because we've just been in the midst of all of this to you guys.
