The silver lining is that it taught me how vulnerable we all are to manipulation and psychological torture, how fallible our memories can be, and how fallible authority figures can be, even–and perhaps especially–when they believe they are on the side of the righteous.

All the injustice and suffering in this case, for me, for Raffaele, for the Kercher family, spun out from that coercive interrogation. And it’s why I’m still on trial for criminal slander today, 17 years later.

As you can probably tell, this subject is close to my heart. I’ve never felt more terrified and frankly insane than when the police coerced me into internalizing, just for a moment, a belief that I’d witnessed my roommate’s murder.

The Reid Technique and other coercive methods can induce compliant and internalized false confessions even when the police have the best of intentions. That’s why education is crucial, along with reform to ban deception during interrogations.

It’s a hard phenomenon to understand, especially for the police who most of the time think they are legitimately getting at the truth. There is, of course, police corruption, but it’s not necessary here.

But by then, it’s too late. They’ve got the confession. And that all but seals your fate. Marty spent nearly 18 years in prison before he was exonerated. He is now a lawyer working to free more wrongly convicted people.

And often, as soon as they release you from that pressure-cooker of a situation and you have a moment to collect your thoughts, you realize, as I did, as Marty did, that it’s not true, that you don’t have amnesia, that you remember where you were that night.

This leads to a form of false confession known as an internalized false confession, where the suspect comes to believe, even if just for a moment, that they may have actually been involved in the crime. This happened to Marty. It happened to me.

Once that confidence is sufficiently degraded, the big lie, in combination with the suggestion of a blackout, can feel like a huge relief. Finally, something to make sense of the fact that they’re demanding answers from you that you don’t have.

Was it 11:00 or 11:15? Are you sure you were in the living room and not the kitchen? Let’s go over it again, and again, and again. Memory can already be fragile in the wake of a traumatic event, but this tactic chips away at your confidence in your own memories.

The Italian cops said the same thing to me, that I’d witnessed something so traumatic I blacked it out, that I had amnesia. This tactic is used in combination with a relentless nitpicking of your actual memories.

Marty knew his father would never lie. He didn’t know the police could lie to him. He had no memory of this attack. It couldn't be true... But that’s when the police employed another common tactic: they suggested that he’d blacked out.

They told Marty that they’d found his hair in his mother’s dead hands, and that his father had emerged from his coma at the hospital and named Marty as his attacker. “Just confess,” they told him, “and this will all be over.”

He was isolated from family and friends, he was threatened and comforted, choked and coddled–that bad cop / good cop combo that creates psychological whiplash. And when he was already mentally worn down, the police used the most fucked up lie imaginable.

Take the case of Marty Tankleff. He was 17 years old when he awoke in his home to find his mother murdered and his father bleeding to death. He called 911, tried to save his fathers life, and then found himself suspected of killing his own parents.

The police can and will lie to you during an interrogation. They will lie to you that they found your fingerprints at the crime scene, that an eyewitness placed you there, that cell records show you were there. And worse…
