They better have more than that video an adult could get of of that so called confession let alone an 8 year old. They need real evidence Fuck I can get my 10 year old to say almost anything with enough badgering and these were professional badgerers
Yes, that is what I was thinking too.
If the only evidence is this so-called confession, then I don't think that the eight year old kid even committed the crime at all.
He was questioned by two female police officers without an attorney or even a parent or guardan present. He was never read his Miranda rights, not that an eight year old would have even understood them anyway. To start with, he said that he was about two houses down from his home when he saw a white car "driving pretty fast" in front of his house. Then, he said, he saw Romans lying on the ground. The boy said he ran over to Romans, then ran inside the house calling for his father. "I said, 'Dad, Dad,' " the boy said. "And then I went upstairs, and then I saw him, and there was blood all over his face, and I think I touched it ... and I didn't hear anything, and I just saw blood and I cried for about 30 minutes, just crying right next to him."
The police who questioned him lied to him and badgered him into confessing.
