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. No phone. No lawyer. No sleep. The detective keeps saying he already knows you did it - he just wants your “side of the story.” You start to believe that maybe confessing will make it stop. You tell yourself, “I’ll explain later, they’ll figure it out.” Except they don’t. Because once those words -  “I did it”  - leave your mouth, the system doesn’t care why .

Corporate Fraud

Americans have become thoroughly disgusted by the gross fraud committed by the likes of Enron, WorldCom, Arthur Andersen, Martha Stewart, and their ilk. These groups are the poster children of Wall Street fraud, but are really only representative of a much larger problem that involves almost all Wall Street brokerage firms, congresspeople, and large corporations in America. Years of pervasive fraud, whether subtle or obvious, has undermined the world’s confidence in the US stock market, causing untold billions of dollars in loss for common families and pensionholders. Some loss has directly resulted from fraud, but most loss is merely because the fraudulent cases have caused a general lack of trust in the marketplace, creating additional sellers and fewer incentivized buyers of corporate stock (causing massive financial loss for the sellers).
