1,251 - Getting a Confession
If the police arrest you, don’t tell them anything. Call a lawyer and then listen to this episode.
Slow dialog: 1:21
Explanations: 3:10
Fast dialog: 17:44
Andy: I got it! I got a confession.
Diane: You got a confession out of that suspect? How did you do it? We’ve been after that guy for days.
Andy: I put the pressure on and he buckled.
Diane: Did you make threats?
Andy: Of course I made threats. It’s an interrogation, not a tea party.
Diane: The confession is no good if it’s coerced.
Andy: I may have gone over the line a little, but who’s to know?
Diane: He knows and any half-decent lawyer will make mincemeat out of that confession. He’ll get it thrown out of court in a heartbeat.
Andy: I leaned on him a little hard, but it’s not like I put the screws on him.
Diane: You have a lot to learn.
Andy: Do you think I should go back in there and talk to him?
Diane: Stay out of there. You’ve done enough damage. Rookies!
