No one is actually mad at Paw Patrol. The NY Times saw some sarcastic tweets and based their headline on it for attention, because we've devalued journalism that much that even the newspaper has to do clickbait.

Brendan's case has opened so many eyes to the phenomenon of false confessions, which has enabled us to better advocate for ethical, evidence-based interview practices.
And we continue to support the efforts to gain his freedom
Six years ago today, a judge ordered Brendan Dassey freed from prison.
His confession was unreliable, the judge found, & he posed no danger whatsoever.
For 3 glorious days, we celebrated & prepared—until the State got a higher court to block it.
An appeal went forward…🧵

@GovEvers
, are you paying attention?
Our conversations with exonerees like Marty and Terrill Swift have been beneficial in pinpointing ways that interview strategies can be improved to prevent more cases like theirs.
Those same conversations definitely should be happening at other levels of the legal process.
I really wish prosecutors and judges would spend time with some exonerees. I'm open and willing for a sit down. Anyone else down? How many judges and prosecutors are willing to sit down with me?

A fascinating story that demonstrates how investigators putting convictions over truth can cause so much damage, both to the lives of the falsely imprisoned as well as to the institutions themselves.

Faulty forensic practices can give investigators incorrect assumptions about their evidence and influence juries to make decisions that have dire consequences for wrongfully accused subjects.
Change came to Illinois. It's coming to California.
Interviewing is changing. Interrogation is changing.

The longer an interview goes on without a truthful admission, the greater the chance of a false confession.
Exhaustion increases stress, stress
increases autonomic response, autonomic response leads to a subject viewing confession as an escape hatch.

When conducting an interview, you never know the mindset of the subject or how they might process stress and trauma. That's why listening and empathy are such important skills
