Those cops didn't just send a man to prison for murdering a child, they sent a broken father to prison to be probably assaulted by inmates once they found out what he was in for. And to have to pay for something you didn't even do for 5 whole years before it was looked into professionally is heartbreaking. I hope he is healing and is somehow able to live a happy life.

Yah you can tell rightly hearing the confession from both the father and the killer. While the father confessed he was crying helplessly and the killer just describe all his horrible killings as some kind achievement he had made in life. There was so difference. I have seen in many cases where the killer cries and try to make other to sympathies with them but their fake emotions give them away

Jerry was my big brother. This was not the end of his tragic story. They did break him. He was in and out of jail. Mainly due to drug charges. He never hurt anybody. He only hurt himself. He was in jail and suffered a stroke. The C.O.'s ignored his plea for help. He called our mom for help. It was after his second stroke that the C.O's finally took him to the the hospital. By the time he got to the hospital he'd had 4 strokes. He was in a vegetative state and passed a week later. The system broke him. I held his hand and read to him while he was dying in our arms. The system broke him 😔 😔 😔

Such a sad, tragic, unnecessary loss of life all around 😢 I am so sorry for your loss/losses. I cannot imagine the pain he felt, you all as a family felt and feel. He was self medicating obviously and you’re absolutely right. The system absolutely broke him. They shouldn’t be able to get away with what they have done to him and your family. If it were any one of us, we would be rotting in prison. No amount of money could bring back him or his daughter, him having to find his baby girl and her friend like that then being tormented, blamed, treated like a murderer and thrown away because they couldn’t do their jobs! This made me sick to my stomach, just thinking about what he went through, I have a 9 year old daughter, 4 year old son and one baby girl on the way. I cannot imagine. I don’t want to. They took the little that was left of him. He was crying out for help obviously in the way of self medicating/using drugs to cope and I can’t blame him! I would do the same! I can’t say I would do anything differently. Again, I’m so sorry for your loss😢 I’m sorry you had to lose your brother and that he was suffering so much without the help he deserved. They broke him, that piece of shit murderer broke him, the system broke him and to be honest, nothing but loss of innocent, precious life here. There has been no justice. Justice for your brother, is what we should be advocating for now, his story deserves to be told far and wide and not just be shoved aside. For you, for him, his daughter, your niece, your family and to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else or their families. 🖤 Sending lots of love, hugs and prayers your way🖤 I’m so, so , so sorry for way they have done to him and your family 😢

This shows why it's so important that the crime lab technicians should never have any involvement with the police officers or prosecutors. They can too easily influence the outcome of the results. Blind testing, meaning the technicians themselves don't even know who the people are involved in the case, is one way to try and weed out some of the corruption.

There should be a law against this. Cops lying and forcing confessions should be convicted for all the crimes that happened after they just picked a scapegoat and went with it instead of investigating further. Every rape, every murder is their fault and they should be charged as such. Charge them as if they committed the crime themselves. That'll do.

No interrogation should be allowed to take place without a lawyer, regardless of perceived guilt- 𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹. They shouldn't be able to lie to suspects either. All they're doing is creating more and more victims. Meanwhile, the real assailant continues -𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦- their violent attacks. Oh but it's just so reassuring to learn some of these corrupt ass prosecutors and dishonorable cops have continued unchecked/untouched, thriving in their careers as judges and high-ranking officers, respectively.

I'm majoring in Criminal Justice and I've had 3 different professors (2 who were still detectives and one retired) tell me that if you are ever in an interrogation room; even if you are 100 percent innocent or 100 percent guilty you always ask for a lawyer. The reason? This exactly. Police can and will lie to you in interrogation rooms, there are some who just do not care about you and will do anything to close the case. It's disgusting that my main takeaway from these classes is how corrupt police truly are, and to hear it come from actual police officers. So lawyer up folks, it is your right.

I had a teacher once tell the school resource officer I had confessed to murder to her. They waited until after Spring Break to question me, dragged me into the principal's office to interrogate me for 8 hours. I cried, I begged for my mom, I asked for water, food, to use the bathroom, and all they would say was I could have those things once I told them I'd done it. Wasn't given Miranda Rights. A minor asking for their parent/guardian is the same thing as 'I want my lawyer'. They kept saying if I admitted to it, nothing would happen, and I could go back to class, and I almost fell for it. But I stuck to the truth and eventually it ended. The Resource Officer lost his job over it, as did the teacher. What had I said to trigger this? 'I took self defense lessons a couple years ago, but I was told to be really careful about some of them, because I could kill someone if I'm not careful.'

False confessions are often hard to understand but I had an uncle who gave a false confession to axe-murdering his estranged wife - he said he did it under relentless police interrogation. He was one of the gentlest, least violent men you could ever hope to meet but the cops had made up their mind immediately. It turned out, a random homicidal maniac broke into the victim's home and she had the presence of mind to hit "record" on an audio tape recorder (and this was in 1975), immediately establishing the guilt of the real perp and her own horrific murder. The recording was found at the crime scene but initially missed, proving how quickly the cops had made up their mind about my Uncle.

Jeez, just so incredibly shameful and just plain wrong on so many different levels, it's beyond appalling. Not to mention the complete unwillingness on the part of the police dept and attorneys to admit their wrongs in this matter, and the total disregard for all innocent parties involved in this case it shows by refusing to do so.

Showing him the crime scene photographs was a truly sadistic thing to do. There’s just no excuse for that. It doesn’t matter whether they thought he was guilty, showing him those photos is clearly going to affect his mental state, and how can they trust the statements of someone who would then obviously be in a psychologically damaged condition?

Reading your own written statement to a camera strikes me as weird enough, but it was so super obvious that those were not his words, and even if that video was the second take, reading it once in a state of intense trauma compounded with sleep deprivation and torment wouldn't be enough for him to pull off an Oscar-winning performance the second time. You really could see him trying his damnedest to power through that hideousness.

I confessed and even plead guilty to something I didn’t do. It was easier for them to pull off than I ever imagined. My confession was the result of being told that it was the only option for me to be able to call anyone. I confessed thinking I could easily prove my innocence later. I just really needed help to get away from the police, at that moment. When I went to court, I had the evidence proving my innocence but I still plead guilty. Those evil crooks did everything they could to cut me off when I tried to talk about pleading not guilty. The judge was so intimidating and he finally lowered his voice and asked me if I wanted to get this over with and move on from it. I, of course, said yes. Before I knew what was happening, apparently, I plead guilty. I was so shaken that I just paid all the fees. Fortunately, it wasn’t for anything big but it proved to me how they work and just how messed up our system is. Btw, I’d never been in any kind of trouble before this happened. It happened bc I have Asperger’s and an employee at a local store thought I was being suspicious.

I was taking my time at the store bc I was waiting for my husband to get off work bc we were meeting at a restaurant to eat. It’s not like was just walking around looking either. I filled my cart up and spent over $100 on Easter basket stuff and other items we needed. When I went to put my vehicle in reverse to leave, 2 cop cars blocked me in and made me get out. They pulled everything out of my SUV and went through everything in it. I had been hiding all the Easter stuff in the back, as I bought it. I had already put the items I had just bought back there bc I didn’t want my daughters to see it. They went through all of it and then claimed that everything that was back there that I didn’t have a receipt for was stolen. I had been buying stuff for several weeks, at this point. I tried to explain it to them, and they didn’t even care that most of the items weren’t even sold by the store they said I had just stole them from. The items that the store did carry were brought back inside and the barcodes were compared. They didn’t match, bc I didn’t buy them from there. They still confiscated them and gave them back to the store they didn’t even come from. Over an hour into this, I had been degraded, scared, and spoken to like I was less than human. I had already tried to show them my Autism card that verifies that I’m Aspergic and gives specific instructions on how to handle the situation. I tried to give it to one of them after saying “this is just a misunderstanding bc I’m awkward, they just don’t know me in there” and he snapped back with “They don’t want to know you”. All I wanted was my husband. They took my phone and wouldn’t let me call for help. Finally, the female officer stepped in, after reviewing the security tape from my entire visit, and was “nice” to me. She said all I had to do was go inside and apologize and I could go home because that store didn’t even prosecute shoplifters. Hesitantly, I went in with them and said I was sorry, but they had to hassle me, through my tears, to say I was sorry for stealing, bc I knew I didn’t. The manager immediately said “I want to press charges” and I was handcuffed and taken to the jail. I now know that they were embarrassed because their investigation didn’t produce any evidence of me stealing anything. They needed me to “confess” so they didn’t have to let me go and walk away with their tails tucked. It was also obvious that one of them had some kind of relationship with the young manager who called them on me. This was in 2019. It will affect me for the rest of my life.

Plus he would have had a terrible time in prison being a crime against children.

Look at the tragic case of "The west 'Memphis 3" A total disaster for the victims. 6 victims. 3 dead young boys. 2 in prison, and 1 on death row because of an utter bat shit investigation. The police department just wanted their hero status. The killer or killers are still out there or dead. 'After 18 years they took an Alford plea to be free. And they couldn't sue the state or county for wrongfully sentencing them. This is just one of the reasons I'm against the death penalty.

Only to be charged with the crime they didn’t commit. Even being found guilty in court. And the “lucky ones” are able to prove their innocence after being locked up for years or even decades. It’s not worth the risk. So even if you want to help the police, always request an attorney immediately. Help yourself first and foremost. You can still answer questions with an attorney present.

Jerry deserves more than 8 million!!! Lake County Illinois should be ashamed of themselves. Just no words for what these people did! So they were not even interested in catching the real killer. They don't deserve to be called prosecutors or police. I hope the detectives and the prosecuters were held accountable for what they did. Shameful.

I'm starting to feel like interrogations and confessions made during these interrogations should automatically be excluded from court, way too many investigators have no clue what they're doing and simply bully the suspect until they get the answers they want. It just seems like too often someone is wrongly convicted of a crime based on a confession that turned out to be false.

@tracimckay9487 wrote a comment down below. Jerry was his big brother. Jerry's story is even more tragic than this video portrays. I am so angry and sad and heartbroken for him, his daughter, the entire family. Words can't express how deeply this upsets me. Law enforcement is horribly corrupt. This is terrifying in the worst ways. They broke an innocent father, wore him down until he cracked under their tactics. They should be held accountable--every last disgusting one of them.

As an outsider (I live in the UK) it really concerns me the tactics police in America use in their interrogation. It also amazes me the amount of people who speak to the police and don’t lawyer up. Innocent or guilty, say no comment and get a lawyer. I would rather be suspected of being guilty than be sent to prison when I’m innocent for being coerced or beaten down into a false confession. These forced confessions and circumstantial cases happen way too often.

This is so enraging, and unfortunately it happens more often than you think. The worst part is that the justice system is loathe to admit they made a mistake so they rarely set things right even when there’s evidence proving their mistake. There needs to be more oversight and accountability over judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement.
