How is it illegal to investigate a minor?
Does everyone realize that a false confession does not have to be the result of waterboarding or some other form of torture?
Maybe some are not aware that he gave one of the confession to his own attorney. I doubt that his own attorney would have allowed a coerced confession.
There's some reading material I've linked previously regarding the fact that not all false confessions are coerced. And despite that in at least one of Jessie's confessions the interview process is heavily tainted, I see his confessions as less coerced than voluntary, which is same dog, different leg.
It doesn't matter if he confessed to the pope, if it's false it's false.
jesse: he would always like, i’d say you, you know what happened
don’t you, you just saying you don’t, he would always say no i don’t
know what happened, i wasn’t there, then one night we got to
talking in my cell and i said you know what happened don’t you?
and he said yes i know and we got to talking he told me that
ridge: alright, your saying he, we are talking about damien?
jesse: damien, right, he said him and jason were in the woods and that
he saw jason kill one of the boys and he saw this boys, one of the
boys stepfathers, he had long blonde hair in a ponytail.
Funny how his 'false' confession got a lot of things right especially considering that he had been drinking that night.
Also worth noting is the earliest known incarnation of the blaming a parrent scheme, as told by Echols' jailmate Jesse Hurst less that three weeks after the three were arrested, which starts out:
I wonder about that - if damage would not show if the boys were already deceased when they were raped.
Were exactly can one find this edit you allude to?And you still didn't explain the rather obvious edit in the tape

Also, you cannot forget the note Prosecutor received well after his conviction about him lying to police to throw them off and most importantly that 'they were going to blame a parent' for the murders.
Then to top it off, when they have a chance for a hearing they plea guilty just a couple of months before that. So, it's really over for them.
I cannot believe that they keep producing movie after movie and blaming the parents just like Misskelley said they would.
OK this page you posted claims:There was at least one case where it stopped, and than when it picked up there was already someone speaking (they fast forwarded and cut out out part of the tape). the link i posted can pinpoint the exact spot (the part edited out was when the officer said "let's correct this" or something like that).
And while that provides a recording which does have that section and a bit more cut, it doesn't provide any evidence to support the claim that the jury was given such an edited recording, and the unedited recording is freely available at Callahan for anyone to listen to for themselves. Furthermore, "we're going to correct that" is in reference to clarifying the fact that the "Memphis side" which Misseklley identified as the side of the creek he was on is the "east side" as Ridge noted. There's no leading in that, Ridge didn't make the Memphis side of the creek the east side, that's just how it is, and the notion that Ridge identifying such a simple matter of fact is some foul play that was hidden from the jury is flatly absurd. The same goes for many of the other arguments further up that page, which is while I'd dismissed the page as nonsense long before you posted it here.[[[ The following portion was cut out – Watergate Style – from the statement played for the jury. It is not yet known whether the jury had an accurate transcript that included the next, critical portion wherein Jessie is told they are “correcting” his statement ]]]
JESSIE: They were at the bottom.
RIDGE: On which side?
JESSIE: Memphis side
RIDGE: They were on the Memphis side.
JESSIE: I was on
RIDGE: Alright, we're going to correct that even further, that's the east side, Memphis side is the east side and you were standing at the top of the bank on the west side, were you looking down at what was going on?
JESSIE: I was looking down, and after I seen all of that, I took off
(“We're going to correct that”??? They’re not even TRYING to make this look like a legitimate interrogation! They switch the side of the creek he was on from BB to Memphis)
(Jessie leaves again and again he is guided to give more details after he says he left)

Nonsense. If people stating publicly available information discredited them, nobody could be considered credible.Michael Johnson's letter was sent to Brent Davis in October 1994. Long after it was public knowledge that JMB had been put forward as an alternative suspect by the defense. Which is one of several reasons why viewing Johnson's letter as in any way credible is a bit of a reach, to put it mildly.

I suspect you missread talk of there having been no anal rape, but if not please quote it here.
I wonder - how they continued to struggle after being raped, if they were already deceased.
