My Life of Crime with Erin Moriarty

Discerning the Truth: Interrogations & Coerced Confessions


Listen Later

Melissa Calusinski has been in prison for over 10 years after she says she falsely confessed to killing an 18-month-old baby at a daycare center. Marty Tankleff spent 17 years in prison after falsely “confessing” to murdering his parents.

Why would someone admit to something they didn’t do? Host Erin Moriarty interviews Dr. Saul Kassin, distinguished professor of psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and author of, “Duped: Why Innocent People Confess – and Why We Believe Their Confessions” on the machinations behind false confessions.

Featuring the 48 Hours investigations, “The Fight for Melissa” and “Marty Tankleff’s Fight for the Truth”.
