re: Could you ever be forced into a confession?

Couple of videos that are worth watching. Pretty long, so not many will watch them, but you should. The first is a professor who explains why you should never talk to the police, and how police can twist things even innocent people say into damning evidence. LINK

The second is the confession of Russell Willams, A Canadian Air Force officer who was convicted of killing two women. The detective gets him to voluntarily admit to the murders just by talking to him. No coercion, no tricks, just talking. Williams was a very smart, very capable, very sophisticated guy, and he was putty in the hands of a skilled interrogator. This guy got what he deserved, but it illustrates that if you are in an interview room, you are a target, and everything they say and do is designed to get you to admit damaging information about yourself. And they are very good at what they do. LINK
