the one thing I don't get is why would the 16 year old nephew be saying he did it if he didn't do it. Brendan knows what happened, whether he is LD or not, he knows what happened.
It's a phenomenon that occurs with people in authority vs not only an LD person, but young people in general. Did you see the video of his confession yet? If you see it, you'll know it's obviously bs. They fed him the lines, & he said yes or no. Most of the time, his answers were not what they wanted. When he said "yes" but they wanted a "no", they would prompt him & ask him again. To which he would say yes. He just wanted to go home, & having been in
that room before myself, they will do anything, to get you to say anything. A girl was raped in McDonalds by a man on the phone pretending to be a cop. The man on the phone got the female Mcdonalds manager to get the girl in the office, take off her clothes. The manager had to get to work, so she called her fiancé in. The man on the phone told the fiance to have her do jumping jacks, & eventually give him a BJ!!! (It's all on video) The Avery kid, they saw coming from a mile away.
When I was in the booth one time they told me I had 180 ecstasy pills (it wasn't, & I knew it wasn't. It was a whole other drug that I had just sold to someone. They told me so many lies you wouldn't believe me if I told you. "They had the lab results that it was Ecstacy, I was going away for 20 years if I didn't give them my dealer, the other people in the car told them who I get it from, & his name was _______, That I had been under surveillance for over a year, they have video etc."
Almost 4 hours of harassing me, with utter bs. It wasn't ecstacy (it was anabolic steroids I had just sold someone) & everyone on my side knew that. They wouldn't rat me out in the first place. None of us knew this "Jersey" dude they wanted us to name. They intimated that they would start framing up my family members. My sister didn't have an arrest record, wouldn't it be a shame if she were to get pulled over & fail a sobriety test. Same with my uncles.
A person who is not smart enough to know what they are doing, will often confess,
just to make it stop. At the end of the video, he says he told them what they wanted, so now can he go home?
60 minutes did an episode about the phenomenon, you could probably find it. But long story short, as incredible as that video is, & all the terrible things they did to this girl (who was just accused of stealing something by the way)
most people can be influenced to do almost anything. You may not have fallen for it, but others do.
I don't doubt that Avery is a bad guy. I wouldn't doubt it if he
had killed someone. But they framed him up once & put him in jail for
18 years!! For a crime that was later proved to be someone else, that they didn't even look into!
The second time around, there is at least too many things out of place....I certainly have reasonable doubts. If he killed her there like the kid said, why would he put her in the car? The major evidence against him was his blood in her car, placed in very strange places. And, the vial of his blood they used for his DNA was tampered with? C'mon Manitowoc or whatever your name is. The magically appearing keys, the same people who framed him up the first time, who were told NOT TO INVESTIGATE THIS ONE, were the ones who found the evidence? It just doesn't make sense. His defense lawyer was giving evidence to the prosecution?!?!
& how they cannot get a new trial is baffling to me. Avery might be a bad guy, but he did almost 20 years for a crime he didn't do. Now they are doing it to his nephew,
and in my opinion, him, again!!!!
One of the morals, if you're poor, your porked.
