In episode 9 of Proof: Murder at the Bike Shop, we explored a critical question: why would someone confess to a crime they didn’t commit? You heard it in the story of the Polderman defendants, where multiple confessions raised serious doubts about what really happened.
On this week’s SIDEBAR, we go deeper with Dr. Tina Zottoli—a NYS licensed clinical psychologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Montclair State University—who explains the psychology behind false confessions and how they can lead to wrongful convictions.
Listener questions or tips about any of the cases we cover are welcome @[email protected].
