Study Shows Why The Innocent Confess, A New York City Injury Lawyer Reports

by

A man was convicted of rape and sent to prison, serving ten years. Unfortunately, he was not the one who committed the crime. He might not have been convicted at all, because there was no physical evidence pointing at him for the crime, but he sealed his own fate by confessing.

According to a New York Injury Lawyer, the convicted innocent man related details to the jury that only the rapist could have known, at least in the eyes of the prosecutors, such as how the rapist hit his 75-year-old victim in the head with the handle of a silver knife found in the house. DNA evidence later proved that another man committed the crime – but by that time, the man convicted of the crime had already served his sentence. He was paroled in 1991.

“I beat myself up a lot,” he said to a New York Injury Lawyer, regarding his confession. “I thought I was the only dummy who did that.”

He is far from the only one. New York Injury Lawyers have learned that at least 40 others have confessed to crimes that DNA evidence later showed to be false. Some people can be induced to confess, or pressed by prosecutors to confess. These prosecutors often, intentionally or unintentionally, provide privileged details in the course of their interrogation, supplying details to add to the confession.
