Netflix/ The Innocent Man

And I'm not too far into this but just because the murder weapon was a gun not a knife , and the body was dumped elsewhere doesn't mean they didn't really kill her . Correct ?
Seems to me the " trued n True " presentation is everyone is innocent .
*SPOILERS*

They found the real killer via DNA, it wasn’t Ron Williamson. Not sure about the other case within the same story.
Police hold people for hours on "voluntary interviews". Eventually people start to break down and the "just tell us you did it so we can all go home" starts sounding like the best way out.
I mean they don't any other proof. I didn't really do it. So why not just say it so I can go home? They say it, go home, and are promptly indicted.
It's a false confession and they happen all the time due to oppressive interrogation tactics. No telling how many innocent people convicted because of them
Happens all the time, bc it's part of how law enforcement are trained...they use techniques to get a confession not the truth. They just want a conviction. When you break people down for hours you can get what you want. If you look at a lot of false confessions they dont confess, many times their adamant, but its not until several hours and attempts getting them to reword theyll get what they want.

All they have to do is stay silent. Most powerful right a person accused of a crime has to use. And the one that is most frequently ignored.
Most people dont know their rights. Police pray on the weak and ignorant. It is a way the poor are oppressed in our country. They are generally less educated, they dont have intelligent people in their friends and family groups. They get pegged and they fight the police or say too much. Either way you're getting punished.
I watched it and reminded me of the Making a Murderer show as far as getting a simple minded person to admit to something they didn't do. Of course on the 2nd murder they didn't have a admission of guilt but made up evidence to match what they needed.
What is amazing is that some confess to murder, say they are sorry and ask if they can go home now.
You really want to see prosecutorial malfeasance watch Mueller. "Oh! Look here! We have you committing a "Do not remove this tag" violation 15 years ago. Now my scope is Russian collusion, so tell us how you help Trump collude, or we'll send your *** to prison for 50 years. Or you could go bankrupt fitting the charges. Your choice."
Mueller sent 4 men, that he KNEW were innocent, to prison for murder, to protect Whitey Bulgar, who was a CO for the FBI. Mueller is the one who should be in prison, but the swamp protects it's own. Just ask Hillary.

However, if you can't do those things, here's the take home:
The only four words you should ever say to the police if they 'just wanna talk' -- no matter what the circumstances -- are, "I want a lawyer." Period.

Exactly. In modern times, police have one job and one job only - get a conviction.
There is no objective search for the truth. The only investigation they do at all is one that leads to evidence supporting their theory
