At one point, veteran Josh Seefried was living three lives: one as an openly gay man at home, another as a closeted member of the United States Air Force, and a third as Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal advocate JD Smith. After a long and tumultuous career, in which he helped repeal DADT, got blackmailed, sexually assaulted, and faced trial himself three times, Seefried is ready to fight again, this time for military justice reform.

Most false confessors sign their statements to simply escape the pressure of the interrogation room, trusting that the evidence will prove them innocent. But there is an even more disturbing form of false confession: after hours of psychological manipulation and destabilization, some innocent suspects begin to believe they may actually be guilty. This is part 5 of False Confessions, a six-part miniseries.

Innocent people are more likely to waive their rights, and to fall prey to the pressures that police use to coerced compliance. This is part 4 of False Confessions, a six-part miniseries.

It isn’t just a few bad cops using psychological coercion. It’s a part of the manual. Used globally and by officers in all fifty states, the Reid Technique works. It reliably gets suspects to confess. Whether those confessions are reliable, though, is a trickier question. This is part 3 of False Confessions, a six-part miniseries.
