This documentary explores how police interrogation techniques, like the Reid technique, led innocent people to confess to crimes they didn’t commit. Featuring expert Saul Kassin, it’s a must-watch.

Eyewitness memory isn’t perfect. In 1984, Jennifer Thompson mistakenly identified Ronald Cotton as her attacker, leading to his wrongful conviction. After 10.5 years, DNA evidence exonerated him.

This is it. We only have TWO DAYS to stop Missouri from executing #MarcellusWilliams, an innocent man.
Though @GovParsonMO's office is closed today, we can’t let a single moment go by where we’re not urging him to take action. Email, tweet, and contact his office now: bit.ly/3MT0OVh

#MarcellusWilliams is only THREE days away from being executed for a crime he didn’t commit. We need you to use your platform to stop this cruel, irreversible mistake before it’s too late.
Though the governor's office is closed today, you can tweet and e-mail Gov. Parson now (bit.ly/3MT0OVh) and urge him to stop the execution. You can also use this social media toolkit to create your own post or video about Marcellus: socialpresskit.com/savemarce…

Broken Trust cato.org/policy-analysis/bro… via @CatoInstitute This is huge! Leading libertarian think-tank condemns the use of deception during police interrogations. This should provide fuel for statewide efforts to ban or limit the use of deceptive tactics during interrogations.

“Robert’s fate is now at the mercy of the Governor. He and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles are the only ones standing in the way of a horrific and irreversible mistake: the execution of an innocent man."
BREAKING: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals just denied Robert Roberson's appeal and motion for stay of execution, despite new evidence showing his daughter died from natural causes, not homicide. innocenceproject.org/breakin…

No proposal or manuscript is ever perfect, but to be effective, it does eventually need to be finished.
Nothing we submit will ever be as good as it *could* be and just recognizing that can be an important step forward.
Perfection is not the goal. Finished is the goal.

This is one not to miss. Facing interrogation tactics that teens should not face, @dr_yusefsalaam was convicted of a crime he did not commit at the age of 15. If you don't yet know how this tragedy ties into the U.S. Presidential race, then you're in for quite an eye-opening story...

A staggering number of errors are made because of inept #interrogation practice
Wrongful convictions are catastrophic outcomes - consider that ineffective interrogation also lead investigators astray, and in general compromise the reliability of information
@AletheiaFX
According to @innocence project, nearly 30 percent of DNA exonerations involved #FalseConfessions. Only a third of those false confessors were 18 years old or younger at the time of their arrest.
The practice of #interrogation must evolve.
