People behave strangely in interrogation room. Even innocent people.

Very true. I once had to give a statement in one as a witness to a tragedy. Not going to lie it was intimidating as all hell and I couldn't wait to get out of there

Same here. There was a moment where I wondered if I was somehow involved in the event, and it was literally a homicide I happened to pass (morning run).

The best way to establish your innocence is to commit more crimes

That's very true and body language analysis is a pseudoscience but uh... this is a bit more than body language

Acting strangely is mostly going to correlate with having done the crime.

“Of all the convicted people who have been exonerated by DNA testing, almost 30 percent confessed to crimes they didn't commit”

It’s actually a really interesting topic. Interrogation techniques do a number on the psyche, even when the person is aware that these techniques are being used on them.

it seems some people have never been questioned while being under influence, the panic mode start happening and the suspect didn't think he could he break to the wall he was just using his anger of the entire situation rather he was in the right of the wrong, his brain is now on full escape mode

u/Gabby-Abeille 1d ago

Yep, which is why nowadays many jurisdictions do not consider a confession to be particularly stronger than any other piece of evidence.

That being said, this guy actually did it.

The link title doesn't say how they acted. It's not like all police interviews instantly go to hard interrogation techniques - some people just answer questions, some people don't and prefer to act strangely because it's a kind of stonewalling technique at the very least. And some police are strange themselves, like the ones who interrogated someone on the death of his father for 7 hours and got him to confess - while his father was alive. Some people just can't let themselves be wrong. But really if the stats were taken of who acted strangely, I doubt acting strangely would have no correlation with being convicted of the crime.

Not saying there is 0 correlation. Simply was stating this an interesting topic in psychology. There is overwhelming evidence that innocent people often act ‘strange’ under police interrogation and has a weak correlation with guilt. Innocent people don’t anticipate being treated like a suspect. Hours of grueling interrogation under the pressure of their freedom being on the line can severely alter judgment.

Source?

u/melodydissonance 1d ago

You made the claim. Google.com, there’s dozens of studies regarding this topic

u/scrollbreak 1d ago

No, 'overwhelming evidence' is also a claim. If it doesn't appear that way to you, for myself it doesn't suggest a strong grasp on the topic. Have a good day, bye.

If you're wrongly accused of murder you're going to want out of that room too.

u/psych_cycle 1d ago

Yeah but I'm not going to break through a wall and land myself in jail anyways for destruction of property either 😂

u/aed38 1d ago

That's a pretty minor offense compared to a murder charge. It definitely doesn't look good though.

u/BygoneNeutrino 1d ago edited 1d ago

The reward for breaking out of the room is significantly greater for a guilty person who knows the evidence will convict him of the crime, and the risks are non-existent since he is already looking at life.

u/very-urgent-chicken 1d ago

Not just that...but did you see that? He ruined perfectly good cardboard!

u/Deducticon 1d ago

Then if not you, who else will find the one armed man?

u/Shiftnetic 1d ago

He murdered his entire family and dog after a schizophrenic episode. Ain't no wrongly accused in this case.

u/Purple-Mind-8197 1d ago

Failure to convict=/=wrongly accused

u/Purple-Mind-8197 1d ago

True but similarly, failure to convict could be = to wrongly accused

u/DuskLab 1d ago

No no, he's trying to escape so he can catch the real suspect /s
