to all: a word to the wise. 1. don't commit any crimes. 2. DO NOT talk to police if they want to interrogate you for any reason. 3. be sure to tell friends and loved ones about #1 and #2. i'm appalled at police tactics. they lie, mislead, misrepresent, cheat, whatever they need to do to get somebody to confess to what they THINK happened. they will tell you they have evidence they don't have. they will tell you that your friends fingered you as the guilty party. the stephanie crowe case is a classic example... cbsnews.com of course, the police justify this behavior by saying that they just want the truth. the escondido police proved this is just another lie. here's what they KNOW: 1. a transient was knocking on doors in the neighborhood where stephanie was killed, the same night she was killed - several people called the police that night. 2. stephanie's blood was in a splatter pattern on the transient's shirt. no murder charges have been filed - even after several years. so... the police are willing to coerce false confessions out of 3 children and attempt to send them to jail for the rest of their natural lives based solely on parts of these coerced confessions (most were disallowed as coerced, but not all), but they are unwilling to prosecute a transient in the neighborhood with the little girl's blood all over him. they are after the truth? they'd rather let a murderer go free than be held publicly accountable for their own screw ups. perhaps this is their way to get back at the family b/c they obviously weren't on good terms. this is SICK! i saw another show where a guy was coerced into giving a confession (maybe he was guilty, maybe not, there was no evidence). the jury saw the interrogation on video and said the guy was not guilty. the police stopped taping interrogations. be careful. the police are not after the truth. they are after what they think happened and they are WRONG a lot. very SCARY stuff. ps - not all police are like this, of course. but if you are in this position, don't take the risk.
