re: Desmonte Leonard appealing conviction for Auburn murders

Something like 25% of people exonerated by DNA evidence had at some point gave a confession.

That is insane how the police can have such a good case against an innocent person that they convince them they have no shot of proving their innocence and should take a deal

Poor legal (public defender) representation and police intimidation (the Supreme Court has said in the past that police are ALLOWED to lie to a suspect during interrogation) will do that. Also, there have been many examples of these "confessions" being "given" by mentally handicapped suspects that law enforcement doesn't hesitate to take advantage of.

Lets see... the entire weight of the armed government against you. Might you not feel just a little intimidated?
