    The unjust system in US
    This is so sad to watch. I myself wouldn't think it's even possible to admit to the crime one has not committed. However looking at the interrogation technique that cops are using in US is horrendous. Intimidation, fear and hours long pressure play tricks with your mind. Once they feel the weakness of the person they start exploiting it until one has given up. Fear overrides everything.

    Why is it happening? Why the police does not invest more time investigating the case making sure they exhausted all the options? because it's hard work...maybe it's more convenient to press and use out the vulnerability of people who lost their dearest ones, those in grief.

    The crazy thing about it is that the victims do not ask for a lawyer!!!

    So many cases in US are wrongfully convicted it makes me cringe ...
