What happens when a high-profile murder investigation clings to outdated techniques despite mounting evidence of their flaws? In the complex and chilling case of Richard Allen, the Delphi investigators continue to rely on the controversial Reid technique, a coercive interrogation approach that’s led to countless false confessions over the decades. But why stick to this method when so many other police forces worldwide have moved on to less confrontational tactics? In today’s episode, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott dives into the psychology behind law enforcement’s attachment to this method—and whether pride might be clouding their judgment. Could Richard Allen’s trial mark the beginning of the end for this divisive approach? Or are we doomed to repeat the past, even if it means convicting the wrong person?
