I would like to add, the police are well within their rights to tell a suspect, "If you just tell us what happened, you can go home." Remarkably, this leads people to "confess" even if they are innocent, because their eyes are on the prize of going home, WHICH IS A LIE. Once someone has confessed, the police will stop investigating. And they will take the in custody suspect and arrest him for the crime AND NOT LET HIM GO HOME.
You are absolutely correct, and I should have spelled that out in my last bullet! I will do so going forward. Thank you, Anne. Finding you on Substack is one of my greatest joys. Tho I’m sorry for the reason you’re on here. 😘
