Due Process - Confessions (Aired 7/28/2013)

Young Michael Crowe's admission in the murder of his sister, extracted by police after 3 days of interrogation. That was one kind of criminal confession - one of the millions made each year. And although no one claims all those confessions are coerced, should we believe they're all voluntary - all true? Following up on our recent probes of guilty pleas by defendants who can't make bail, or who agree to plea deals rather than take a chance at trial, this Due Process looks at the history of confessions in criminal law with the help of a national expert in the field. Law Prof. George Thomas is the author of Confessions of Guilt: From Torture to Miranda and Beyond - and our only guest on this important edition of Due Process.
