The problem lies in the fact that not everyone's mind works the same. Some people are mentally incompetent, or some people react very differently to lenghty and tough police questioning (even when the police do everything legally). Although a confession seems like incontrovertible evidence....it isn't in all cases. If the state puts somebody to death on the grounds of that evidence, it could certainly turn out that they actually executed an innocent person who (for whatever reason) gave a false confession. |

(and I'm talking Mental Retardation, not sociopaths) Wasnt there another case in Texas where a man with Mental Retardation was given the death penalty for killing someone? That, to me, is wrong.
