Confession In The Confession, four men falsely confess to the rape and murder of Michelle Bosco.

In the United States once a person asks for a lawyer the integration is supported to cease until the attorney arrives but Derek’s rights were violated and added to his pressure to confess.

The interrogator continuously treated the men as if he knew the men were guilty.

The way these men were treated, they were guilty no matter what they did or said it was just a matter of what deal they could make. Their confection should not be used against them because of these rights
