Show Notes
WBEZ has obtained video showing the interrogation that led to a 15-year-old falsely confessing to a shooting last year. The 43-minute video shows the lead detective using deception and leading questions to steer the teen to incriminate himself. The police jailed the 15-year-old on charges including attempted murder — until his basketball team proved he was 18 miles from the shooting when it took place.
