As I suspected, you don't actually know。 There's a fantastic book called
Mistakes were made (but not by me) by two eminent psychologists on the subject. I suggest you read it. Although you can start with this:

R version: you have two competing ideas in your head. For example; you believe that you're a good person, but you're cheating on your wife (which you know is wrong in theory). that produces cognitive dissonance, that you try to resolve, usually by rationalization.
The only way I see it being relevant to this case is people who have the belief that cops are always/nearly always good and confronted with the evidence that they're often scumbags. Now THAT would be some cognitive dissonance.

Really? that was the lead up question.. Wanna time mark this in the confession for me? Because I saw the confession and I do remember them bringing up her head at different times during the video but not as a lead to that. So please, can you show me where this happens?
saus has posted the transcript of the interview leading up to this just in the last couple of pages. If you've actually watched the documentary it's unforgettable if you know anything about false confessions (a topic covered in the book I mentioned).

No no no, he was a witness before march 1st. He said he saw toes in the fire and that stevan had told him not to say anything. He said he was scared. So they put him and his mom in a hotel away from the avery and questioned him on march 1st, that is the confession when he admits to everything for the first time, the rape, murder, everything.
You were saying before that up to the point where the cops ask about "what happened to her head?" they were on Brendan's side. That is false. Perhaps before the interview started you would be correct.
