the or tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess to crimes they didn't commit i don't even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to you the person who falsely fast actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior once a false confession a stake in the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and then one that isn't the. same wrong one. just don't call. me. yet to shape out disdain. and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

1:53 am
a friday night. several intruders burst into that house they were supposedly pretending to be border patrol and were dressed as border patrol and they shot the husband they shot the wife and they shot the 9 year old daughter the wife survived she was not shot in the head like the daughter and the husband were. shannon ford was never positively identified by the surviving with this so there were definitely 2 men there and one woman and there were additional parties as well she's didn't know if there was she said there might have been 4 or 5 people there but she couldn't describe them. resign your florists line and her father role florence died on the spot with a bullet in the head only survivor of the massacre gina gonzales mother shot in the leg she pretended to be dead during the shooting before calling for help.
1:54 am
