Why would someone confess to a crime they didn’t commit?
In America, nearly 30% of those exonerated by DNA tests had previously confessed. For more than half a century, the Reid technique was the favored method of extracting confessions out of suspects. This method of slowly building pressure often made it seem that admitting guilt was the easiest way out. But now, a number of police forces are abandoning the Reid technique because of the risk of generating false confessions.
We hear from the men and women who have spent more than 20 years in prison for crimes they did not commit. They tell us about that moment when, in the darkness of the interrogation room, cut off from the world and terrified by police officers, they finally said what the interrogators wanted to hear…the moment their lives changed forever.

Never talk to the police. Period.
There’s absolutely no way they had no response to why lying is a valuable tool if not the most valuable tool.
So it seems that they are lying about the exoneration. That would already be admitting innocence.
I was interviewed twice by detectives/homicide detectives at the ages of 14 and 15 or 16. They wanted me to go to the station, told them no. For fun I let them into my house. Both interviews ended with me laughing at them, calling them b*tches and telling them gtfo of my house. They did and I never seen them again. Their tactics are so obvious and easy to see.
Do people really believe this? If you don’t have an IQ below 70 and there’s no literal torture used there will never be a false confession
