Many people don’t know that the police are permitted to outright lie about evidence to someone they bring into the station for questioning. They are even permitted to lie to minors. If you think only guilty people confess to crimes, think again. Innocent people are often convicted after they provide police with a false confession. What could possibly motivate an innocent person to confess to a crime they didn’t commit? Dr. Phil speaks with Attorney Laura Nirider, co-director of the Center on Wrongful Conviction and co-host of the Wrongful Conviction: False Confessions podcast; Dave Thompson, expert in interrogation training and certified forensic interviewer analyzes how minors can easily be coerced into a false confession, how to protect your child and their unexpected collaboration. "It's not every day that a defense attorney comes along and becomes a close colleague of somebody who is dedicated to training law enforcement. I like to think of our evolution here as a way to build bridges and come together around some really important issues-- wrongful convictions," Nirider says.
