Why People Confess to Crimes They Didn’t Commit

  It sounds impossible, right? Why would anyone ever confess to a crime they didn’t commit? Why sit in an interrogation room, look a detective in the eye, and say “Yeah, I did it”  - when you didn’t? But it happens. A lot. According to The Innocence Project , roughly one in four wrongful convictions in the U.S. involves a false confession . That means hundreds of people have gone to prison - or even death row - for something they didn’t do, just because they said they did The Pressure Cooker Imagine this: you’ve been sitting in a small gray room for 12 hours.

Man wanted in connection with death of woman found in dumpster on Detroit's east side

Detroit police Chief James Craig confirmed James Quill Cockerham was arrested Saturday afternoon in connection to the case. He referred to Cockerham as "a career criminal."


"That violent, predatory, cowardly suspect is now in custody," Craig said.

Investigators said the woman was seen with Cockerham inside the elevator of a nearby building.


"We pray for that family," Craig said. "We pray for that young lady and it should have never happened."

News of Laird's death went viral on social media, fueled by rumors of a serial killer in Detroit who dumped five bodies in a dumpster.

"I know some of the rumors that were being pushed out, that there were four or five women. That's not the case," Craig said. "When untruths are being placed out in social media, people react to that and it creates fear."

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Detroit Police Department at 313-596-2260.
