I would follow up by going to the suspect for identification and confirm the witnesses if the person is involved or not in the robbery. Purposeful interviewing refers to the realization that statements are sought for specific reasons (Gosselin, 2002). Purposeful

    Defendant Michael Meyers files this motion to suppress statements made, during custodial interrogation, in violation of Miranda and his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This motion is based on the following: Meyers was detained and subject to custodial interrogation at the staircase without Miranda advisement; officers did not secure a valid waiver of Miranda prior to Meyers’ custodial interrogation at the police department; and the illegality of Meyers’ Fourth Amendment violation against unreasonable search and seizures is insufficient to purge the taint of his initial unlawful detention. Accordingly, statements stemming thereof in are the fruit of the poisons tree and must be suppressed.…

    Being cautious and prepared is key for interrogating suspects. The interrogation location should be free from distractions or interruptions. The interrogation room should be well lit and secure. It's important that the officer not ask close ended questions. Asking closed ended questions will lead to short yes or no responses. Asking open ended questions will lead to a broader response and more information will likely come out. Taking notes and recording the interrogation is also key. Although there are many types of interrogation techniques, the officers should discuss the role they will be playing before hand. They can decide which type of interrogation technique will bring out the best results. -WRITTEN AND INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION-METHODS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT By Harvey Wallace and Cliff Roberson(CHAPTER 9 PAGES 139-145)…

    Within the study, 136 residents of the Wynne Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice witnessed a staged theft and provided testimony to the incident (Colwell et al, 2002). The interview consisted of scripts derived from Structured, Cognitive, and Inferential Interview techniques. Participants were assigned randomly to one of the three interview techniques and were measured on their honesty and dishonesty to the questions obtained. Participants randomly assigned to the honest group were instructed to report everything about the incident as truthful as possible. Participants in the dishonest group were instructed to distort the testimony from the honest group to debar the conviction of the staged perpetrator. The interviews were held individually for a duration of one hour and were recorded and videotaped (Colwell et al, 2002). The role of the interviewers was to accurately identify participants who were giving fabricated statements and honest statements.…

    Different ways of interrogations are used by officers to deal with suspects. Most often we do not know what is going on inside the interrogation room. The main purpose of the interrogation is to get possible answers that pacify their need of evidence to the case. Police are most criticizes of their way handling interrogations during custodial questioning which often uses deception to get whatever evidence needed. According to Skolnick and Leo there are eight types of interrogations deceptions. Interview versus interrogate which is the most subtle way of deception. Most often overlooked strategy the police always employ on suspects. By telling the suspects that he is free and can leave any time thus engages him to voluntary answering of questions that otherwise be considered an interrogation into a non-custodial interview. Miranda Warning, in order for a questioning to be custodial, police recite their Miranda rights. This routinely delivered phrase is always delivered in a recital flat monotone of voice that makes this warning a bureaucratic ritual. Police sometimes used this warning to soften up suspects. The Court in Miranda that police cannot trick or deceive a suspect into waiving Miranda rights. The misrepresenting the nature or seriousness of the Offense which police exaggerate, overstate or understate the offense in order for the suspect to compel in answering questions during custody. Role playing where police play the role of a compassionate friend, bother or father figure who understands the suspect’s situation in order to have their trust then later on seek the opportunity to let the suspect confess for the good of the investigation. Misinterpreting the moral seriousness of the offense is the heart of the interrogation method that propounded by Inbau, Reid and Buckley’s influential police training manual. Police interrogating the case offer suspects excuses or moral justification for their misconduct by providing the suspect with an external attribution…

    In 1988, Ted White was clubbed in the head and face at his mattress business between 12:45 and 1:55 p.m. White died of his injuries three days later and was never able to tell the police officers of the incident. There were no witnesses found and the police never discovered any fingerprints or DNA to help identify the actual perpetrator. Regardless, police originally suspected Matt Mason of the murder but were unable to bring a case against him. Mason and Tinney were acquaintances. Glenn Tinney original pled guilty to the murder of ted white in 1992. There was evidence that was presented at court that got Tinney sentence exonerated. The evidence they had to get his sentence exonerated was the fact that none of the confessions matched the facts of the crime and an Ohio judge reversed Tinney’s conviction. The prosecutor investigator was told Glenn Tinney may know something about Mason’s participation in ted white’s murder, Tinney said that him and mason killed Ted white together but then a couple of days later he said he did the crimes alone. The police also uncovered that Glenn Tinney gave other statements that was not consistent with each other or with the facts of the crime. The court concluded that upon close comparison of Tinney’s confessions, he “confessed to killing a man he could not identify, for conflicting motives which don’t match the facts, at the wrong time of day, with a weapon that does not match the victim’s injuries, by striking him in the wrong part of the head, and stealing items the victim either still possessed after the attach or probably never possessed.” Because of these reasons, the court said it would be “manifestly unjust to deny withdraw of the guilty plea” because the confessions did not provide any support for the murder conviction (McGinn, 2013 ).…
