It's called the Reid Technique where the object is to bully a person into confessing. The major flaw is that many innocent people are bullied into false confessions. People like this are not reprimanded. America is the only police force in developed countries that continues to use this so-called technique

Thank you for this info

Ohhh thank you for the update! I was wondering if he won the case and how much was awarded. That is good to know. Was the "detective" still alive when Marty won the suit against him or did he sue the detectives estate after he died?

@@5GreenAcres I’m not sure if the detective is still alive. Unfortunately, he can’t be held responsible for his negligence and arrogance in the investigation. The county and city are responsible for his actions. Another happy note, Marty also got married, has children and remains very close to his parents siblings and extended family.

​@@staceyshaffer180 ​Best News Ever & He Deserve All Of It👌🏾😜

@@5GreenAcres apparently the detective died of lung cancer in 2008.

Then we are considered guilty if we “lawyer up”. We can’t win.

Retired Federal Agent here. Amen to that. Never talk to police without an attorney.

@@jerseytomato100some people will consider you guilty regardless. Go with the option that gives you the most protection as already stated.

Corruption knows no bounds........😢

If someone finds themselves being wrongfully suspected of a crime, is there anything that can be said (alongside the request for a lawyer) in order to soften the automatic suspicion that asking for one causes? Is there anything to perhaps mitigate the "guilty" vibe that police get from such a request? Hopefully no one reading this will ever need such a tip, but I'm just curious to hear any ideas from an officer's perspective. Thanks!

Marty did it. That detective knew it and went too far, but the point is that it was obvious that night that Marty did it. And got away with it now.

I read in a news article he died in 2015.

​@@MrGrumpyGills Yes, 2015, not 2008.

Yaay... thanks for that update on Marty! I respect him SO much for keeping it all together, unflinching through all those years in prison. He does his deceased parents proud every day

Ball don't lie.

Glad to hear that but why did they go after Marty? A rich kid should have lawyered up right away & had the best attorney on Long Island.

he wasn't wrong, he got what he wanted, and knew how to get it..

​@@SidewaysInTrafficmaybe you need to find a new circle of women, LOL

That detective should face jail for false imprisonment....He is disgusting...

@@LiquidSnakeOuterHeaven So you think all cops are like that? Please never call them if you get in trouble or need help.

Excellent call on 'gut feeling'. Many cops rely solely on this and so often are very wrong. This man is a disgrace not only to law enforcement but to mankind. 😮

His parents would be very proud of him.

he's guilty. You watched a 40 minute bias documentary and somehow think you know more about the case than the jury members ??

Juries need to do better! They need to put themselves or their children into the equation...when they think the evidence isn't clear. It's better to let a guilty person go free...than it is to lock up an innocent person. Evidence needs to be ironclad in my opinion. People's lives depend upon it.

If it wasn’t for this crooked cop, Marty would never have been in that courtroom if McCready had done his job right.

People give too much credence to police testimony. Too much back the blue mentality. Then there's group think/peer pressure in the jury room.

​@@zebralove2840 Things were very, very different then than now.

He claimed he could immediately tell he was innocent. Bs. Suffolk County Police are notoriously crooked.

Yes! That was insane! And the fact that said debtor to the now deceased was in his house late into the night playing poker, during which time the poor man was stabbed to death. No forced entry? I’m thinking the bagel man kept the door unlocked and let the murderers in himself. He’s disgusting. The original detective is disgusting. What they did to a child is unforgivable. I hope karma gets the guilty men who are still alive.

Turns out that Detective McCready and Bagel King Jerry Steuerman were longtime buddies. McCready lied about that on the stand during the trial. Can't do anything about it now - McCready is dead.

I’m so glad to read I wasn’t the only one with both of these same thoughts!! When McCready said “he [the business partner] wouldn’t hurt a fly” I knew he was full of sh*t! He solidified it when he then proceeded to blatantly lie to Erin (48 hours journalist) about interviewing the family (shout out to whoever edited that scene)! Absolutely mind blowing! Loud and wrong! 😑

Business partner is a massive suspect, however, when a person is fighting for their lives they scream and make noise. Marty heard the shrieking and decided to just remain calm and relax? The murderers didn't want to leave any other witnesses so they also killed the wife, but wanted Marty to be a potential witness and be able to call 911 quickly???

Actually, he died 8 years ago.

That is the ONE thing I have a problem getting past. I do believe there is enough reasonable doubt that he should be free, yet I still cant understand how you can be manipulated into confessing to killing someone. ESPECIALLY, when its someone you loved and respected. It just seems like they would have to put me through some type of medieval torture to get me to confess, just so the torture would end. But of course that didn't happen here. But there is reasonable doubt.

Marty did it. That detective knew it and went too far, but the point is that it was obvious that night that Marty did it. And got away with it now.

@@Dion-rz3fz Maybe it's personality. I think honestly a really "innocent" personality, where you don't expect people to lie to you, is the worst for this. Because if it's all these genuine people, doing important jobs, trying to find the truth, and they tell you something they know to be true -- well it has to be true, doesn't it? So your brain starts looking for explanations that fit inside that worldview, rather than moving to the conclusion that all these people are maliciously lying to you. It's the concept of gaslighting; it's the same thing. Only with extra layers of authority behind it. I've never been accused of a crime, but I was once "accused" of having done something (more like told that I did something -- not something hurtful to anybody, but significant to my future) that I absolutely did not do. I was questioned about it, had to talk about it and keep justifying myself, for literal hours. People with authority over me kept talking as if it was the surest thing in the world that it was me who had done it. Like they were saying the grass was green, level of certainty. I had no proof, and what suggestions I could offer that it couldn't have been me, they didn't want to hear. It was like talking to a wall. To this day I still don't know if one or more of them was deliberately lying for some unfathomable reason; or if they truly believed what they were saying. I never did get them to believe me. And the point is, there were times during all of that when I questioned to myself whether they were right and I was wrong. Could I have somehow blacked out part of my memory of the last few hours. Said things that made no sense for me to say, done things that made no sense for me to do. Could i have invented my own memories of spending that time doing something entirely different. Because these people were professing to care about me and be concerned for me. They couldn't be lying. And the only thing I could think of to explain how they could be honest and still wrong also didn't make any sense. None of it did. I never gave in and admitted to something i hadn't done, but the psychological pressure was there and I did feel it. I felt the confusion. So I have no trouble believing something like this. This is probably somebody who was raised to trust his parents, to trust the police, and they put all the pressure on him to just tell them what they already knew. What his father had said with his last words, even. He didn't distrust their motives enough for his brain to seize on that as the explanation instead. It's a recipe for disaster. False confessions in general are rather common; this is only one of the potential reasons that it happens.

@@BlueCyannThat was truly a thoughtful response. And I guess it does drive home the point that there are so many different personalities, one never really knows how others may react. Good point.

The guy who faked his death & fled the state would've been my prime suspect.

I would bet my last dollar that this crooked cop was associated with this shady businessman, Jerry.

His cousins comment really stood out to me. A lot of people can come out of the system, institutionalized yet you see Marty, taking care of his elderly aunt, there’s a child innocence about him, maybe because his life stopped at 17 and now it’s able to resume.

I agree with you about how different people handle shock differently, but the blood in Marty's eyes was a result of a nose job that he had done 2 days prior. The report said so.

In any case, his extended family should have been there, even if he was taken to the station quickly, they were questioning him for hours... I guess they mightve been at the hospital as the father was still fighting for life... more importantly than could've would've should've , and blaming the family. That narcissist detective lied to coerce a confession. Preying on an emotional teenager, who just saw his mother's dead body, and giving him a) false hope that his father survived and b) making him question his sanity, being gas-lit by authorities. AWFUL, DISGRACEFUL, and people wonder why many of us distrust the police, and the justice system

Don't forget juries and judges.

The OP's claim is demonstrably false. No, there are NOT many innocent people in prison. There once were a few hundred - an absolute tragedy, no doubt, but as a percentage a minuscule amount. We live in a different world now, where scientific and technological advances have changed everything. Furthermore, there is no evidence that race played a significant factor in the previous situation either.
