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 9 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 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 our family 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 to solve their. need yes 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 the spot. placed the phone for the. 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 3rd 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 3 or 4 feet away from a suspect looking down on the suspect and in a very direct and unequivocal way accuses him of committing the crime. 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 satisfied. that they had

a man and that's all they really wanted was the body. so they took us. from 21 years and 12 days. 99 he says while those 23. fortune our way. or direction i want to go and i and everything. funds i was.

kind of slow and and when it's it's more of a seasonal type of thing. so i looked to supplement my income a little bit and i made a bad smell decisions and also got outfit with america out aqsa little bit. some people my sail for of the other. and. that's where i was at that time just trying to figure things out. were. that age 43 months and has spent 21 years of his life behind bars. in 1996 he's convicted of murder and sentenced to 50 years in prison at the time he's making a living by selling drugs in an apartment building in detroit. maher

is accused of killing christina brown one of his young clients on the night of the 19th of january 1996. however on the night of the murder lamar was far from the scene of the crime. he was at home with his 6 year old daughter. able remember waking up watching cartoons with my daughter that saturday morning and she woke me up at 9 and i was like mom we're watching cartoons and davey and i want to wear my daughter saturday morning and. that's like i want to mom found some memories you know perhaps that vast day i was out. that saturday morning lamar monson is the 1st 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 20th 1996 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 17 years old it was a young tall young woman who just cried herself a 17 after she was 12 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. he was she was a. she was away from me and trying to say my name and i was told the nurse. just hold on i want to get you know. i'm going to be alone. and frantically. banging the knowledge doors and that apartment for asked to call the

police call him as the police came and lamar spoke to the police and the police immediately decided that he was there a 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 him 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 22 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 where it 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 him. 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 17 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 80 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 at mit 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 $5050.00. 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 3rd degree police officers were beating suspects into confessing to crimes 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 this act that psychological interrogation tactics can also produce false confessions. the swarms of them so my. good us who was before. much of those who heard the preview or. seen him with the north were who were going to. move folk move when it.

will show you this new video of the little i mean it's a good look or a good. muslim also these girls will give you films for good girls. the british also look but look the same you want me to show the story to the us or go. to starbucks to. get to meet until it was the middle of the mist they'd say look it is it's. just ashton understands this new it's the mashed old truck stop the president on please control this project until. those we're producers to produce for troops never come up when you look at that as the cause of it you see where your supporters to your machine station shouldn't for you should cook door for one whose job is the.

person petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing they keep economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend a forum to address today's vital issues. watch our special forum coverage on r.t. . as a wise man once said currency wars lead to trade wars play to hot more so we've had currency wars that's been going on now for 10 years 15 years really particularly with china you know they artificially keep their currency low export their way into

becoming a large economy and now this is led to a trade war with pretty much declaring secession from the global economy as we go to neo mercantile as a page of globalization and lot of tourism dollars ation is over and you know look at the globe we've got a few little hot spots there the encroaching hot war scenario is upon us. officer. to get up off the ground or sort of begin to. herd them freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man mislead essentially. through his drone. which is to do away from the officers. of his group. the officer did a kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then when it happened on tree swung at times you didn't hit him i never saw any contact with you had you any kind of

went back to where they were so the officers back here they're try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and even beyond 3. the 1st 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 suspects says i don't know that's considered deceptive if the suspects in his own 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 1st entered into the home said the vision you had a lot of officers that's what they were saying and you did it you to know who you know it was mom barred me with that as i'm in a tear geisha. are to say mom i 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 accusation. so dros she sold drugs for you. you killed her she was your girlfriend and just creating a scenario that they wanted on despite what i was attempting to relate to far as what i'm. so i would go back and forth and back and forth and the interrogation lasted maybe. 4 or 5 hours because if it. is important issues you seldom will find a false confession take it in an hour seldom will you find it in 2 hours when you look at false confession cases 121-516-1820 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 he did here a month 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 one 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 there's the world can't sleep k. rest. came believe was going on. and you just can't

imagine i'm just a mind is described. the process of interrogation is designed to put people into. 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. during most interrogations 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 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 so stressed and may 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 that the made 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 than to continue denial. lamar munson sees that he is about to be caught in a trap police detective joan going places a file on the table. another brought to her office. and. she said she had a pall of files on the desk and she mentioned well you know this she was making 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 to live up to a point you know there's certain laws that are so outrageous that good records are going to let it but i can tell you all kinds of lies i can tell you that we have 3 or 4 we have 4 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 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 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 they haven't been under this sort of pressure. these tactics are relentless for lamar months some time seems to stand still the 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. 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 he narrow down for the suspect. 2 choices 2 paths oath of them involve the suspect admitting their guilt but one paints the suspect as an evil person 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 this explanation for why they can be taught to cry. during the theme we offer to the suspect psychological justification for the commission 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 check to 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 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 confess. i was out of it and there. are just ready to whatever you want me to do maybe decide i'm sinusoid it and my mind. turning that he would be able to. the what's necessary to shorted out was innocent and i didn't commit this crime because i didn't commit the

crime. on the 3rd. of january 1996 at 6 o 2 am after 10 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 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. most people think just stand out in this is this you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to

stand the news this is just the dance the right questions and demand the right answer. question. geysers financial advice they say money to develop. a plan to be easy this is a central plank support diadem is going to call them right now so you stop to. think. china does not want to fight we are supposed to fight the same time we're not afraid of it china is bold and resolute and able to defend its legitimate rights and interests china is still holding the door open for the china trade negotiations if the united states she wishes to proceed with them it needs to be more sincere.
