I wanted to keep the fishiness surrounding the interrogations and the coercion IN the interrogations separate, but at this point it starts to weave together so I'm not sure how to make it flow best. I said 'clearly coerced' earlier but I don't want to just preach to the choir.
Anyhow, here is the quote again from ConvolutedBrian; I'm emphasizing a different part now:
This is the audio recorded at Mishicot High School. Part One is a noisy and poorly recorded tape. The microphone was placed without testing its effectiveness. Why tape one’s noise level is high and variable is a mystery. This is something that confession seminar people need to add to their training. Part Two is a cleaner tape. These were recorded in the morning of 27 February, 2006.
We might be both taking the same crazy pills, but tape two is subtly yet noticeably cleaner.
Here is where tape one ends:
Obviously a logical break point, right after the interrogation but before the statement.
However,
everything before this break is the first human 'verification' in this entire case that SA did in fact murder, and it's recorded with taterphone3000. That can't be stressed enough. And even that old potato picked up enough to make it seem suspiciously coercive. Now suddenly potato is working just a bit better with all the messiness behind it and an official statement ahead of it...
But that's still a minor point. I'm just pointing out I wasn't the only one that noticed.
Here is the statement BD makes, after everything, an hour of interrogation and a Bombfire Of Horror coerced:
Compare this to the only audible thing transcribed earlier:
Also, in that first image in green is the first instance of the detectives to add all the other inaudible stuff earlier, what follows is 12 pages of them telling BD to add in the other stuff.
Compare the 1st draft of his statement in the first interrogation to the 1st thing he 'volunteers' at the beginning of the 2nd interrogation.
The pattern needs to be recognized, because the final interrogation has the M O'Kelly formulation, the 2nd has the 1st formulation, but the 03/01/06 interrogation has an unrecorded formulation.
