A critical look into some true crime cases where American law enforcement made up for lack of actual physical evidence by using devious psychological tactics during interrogation in order to extract confessions from naive suspects.

This is made regarding US justice system but sadly, it is true for the entire world. We all have watched in movies that whenever there is an accusation of any kind of wrongdoing, then the accused(most of the times) asks for attorney straight away. I always wondered why they do that? Why pay an expensive lawyer when you are innocent and have done nothing wrong. AFTER watching it, I UNDERSTOOD and understood well enough and felt it's worth to do that. *One line from Episode 4* — Karen Boes, who was convicted in related to the death of her daughter,(I dare not call it murder because conviction/evidence was very very iffy in my opinion) said the last line in this episode:- "It doesn't matter how innocent you are, get an attorney and don't speak" (to police/investigators alone).
One line we all often hear is that every person has a breaking point.Before watching it, I was skeptical about HOW ON EARTH someone can confess to a crime they didn't commit, after watching this, I am still not 100% convinced, but I certainly feel it's possible. In some cases, it does feel like state just want to pin it on someone for the sake of it and doesn't follow the evidence. And we see really long interviews, some even using leading the suspects into saying things they normally won't and using illegal techniques.
Please heed those Karen Boes words if anyone finds themselves in any such unfortunate situation.
