I usually don't do this, but I just read something that dumbfounded me. I don't know if any/many of you watch Dateline, I do, but I don't really watch tv on the weekends. We usually go out to a friend of ours(mine and my ole mans) on Friday nights this way we get out of the house. But I watch it on ID and I read the transcripts on the website.
I missed an interesting story this week. That posed an interesting question, but I'll give you the gist of the story.
A husband, wife and they're three children live in a small house, husband has sleep apnea and uses a cpap at night, he wakes up one night and everything is out of sorts for some reason, he gets up and his kids are fine and he see's a couple of emails on his computers and one of them is porn and he kind of ignores it and goes to bed (wife Mary works nights cleaning) and he has a dream about the series 'Left Behind" or really the plot of it, anyway. He dreams that his family is taken and he is not, his daughter says 'bye daddy'.
He wakes at 6:00 and yells at his oldest daughter Amanda, age 12 to get up.
He goes into her bedroom finally and finds her on the bed beaten and strangled.
So naturally police suspect him, right? They PINPOINT him, to the point where they don't even process the scene, they don't take fingerprints, the 'murder weapon', which is a video game.
They don't check him for scratches or bruises.
They just charged him with murder.
After 17 hours in two days of interrogation, they get him to confess and confess again,,, again,,, and again. He confessed a total of four times on paper and goes to the house for video taped reeactment of the crime but none of this matches the details.
All this comes right after he gets a certificate as a computer technician, to help support his family and provide a better lifestyle while he works on becoming a minister.
