  • Interrogation Technique Causes False Confessions?

    Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Joy Brixius escorts Brendan Dassey from the Manitowoc County Jail to the Manitowoc County Courthouse, April 19, 2007, in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Dassey, 17, was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse and first-degree sexual assault in the death of 25-year-old Teresa Halbach on Oct. 31, 2005. In 2016 a Milwaukee judge overturned the conviction, finding that the shifting stories of the crime the young man gave during interrogation were mostly fed to him by the police.

  • Flawed Hair Evidence Convicts the Innocent

    Ralph Armstrong served 29 years in prison before his 1981 conviction for a brutal rape and murder in Madison was overturned. Armstrong's case featured microscopic hair comparison by a Wisconsin State Crime Laboratory analyst who said hair found on the victim was "consistent" with Armstrong's. DNA testing showed the hair was not Armstrong's. Photo from the Wisconsin State Journal archives. May 5th, 2017 by Dee J. Hall
