Back to menu

19 nov. 2018

Retired Detective Jim Trainum explains the harm of focusing on a single or limited police or prosecutorial theory and seeking only evidence that confirms that particular theory.

kevin bernaciak
This happened to me. Spent over 13 years in prison for the first words I spoke or rather how I said the words. After that the investigation carried a focus on the those words. The detective used those words when he delivered the evidence to BCI. Can you imagine A guy that needs to be objective in examining trace evidence to have knowledge of nothing but negativity on his mind? My words taken out of context carried all the way through trial. Right into the into of the jury. I am innocent. Happened in 1986.Still trying to prove it.

This story touched my heart, I’m so proud of you, William, for having the strength to endure those years and come out with dignity and strength. I live in Canada and was charged for crimes I had not committed (though nothing close to a charge of murder). I was able to defend myself in court and win. The charges were laid by an arrogant officer based on lies of a cheating man. I am grateful to be able to share my story here, and SO grateful to have heard yours. I’m proud of you. Stay strong!
 
Erma Smith
Almost 50 years old now. What a waste. They can never compensate him for what he lost. I’m amazed that a young man who worked two jobs would have been suspected of murder. God bless him. He doesn’t seem to be bitter at all.

It’s hard to believe people would confess to a heinous crime they didn’t commit, but they do — especially teenagers — and there is no place in the U.S. where this has occurred more than in Chicago. Byron Pitts reports.


8:45 This prosecutor is outrageous. She has the nerve to contend that the serial rapist who’s dna is found inside the victim is not the rapist/murder, but four people who didn’t leave a spec of dna at the scene are. This shows you what folks are up against out here. Some of these cops and prosecutors are just morally bankrupt.

Gepubliceerd op 23 aug. 2010
A beautiful young girl called Stephanie Crow was tragically lost to a sensless murder. The police unsure about who to suspect, and how the murderer gained entry into the victims house then decided to focus on the family.

However this is not just a miscarriage of justice it is a travesty of justice by the sheer incompetence, and shocking cold indifference of the police.

Michael Crowe was only a child when the police decided to railroad him for the murder of his sister. This case went so far off the tracks that Michaels friends were dragged into the police station and charged with murder.

Meanwhile the real killers clothes covered in Stephanies blood along with eye witness accounts in the locality of the murder that shows a disturbing modus operandie that involved stalking young girls, all evidence that should have been focused on lay neglected, and forgotton as police were determined to build a strong case against Michael Crowe. This story reveal’s how the Police can be shockingly incompetent, and yet are free to prosecute in any way they please.

Steven Cook
using a voice stress detector to determine if a person is lying? how do you know that’s not emotional stress causing false readings? just imagine your loved one being killed, and being questioned about your loved one’s death. I assume that you are at least feeling a little bit stressed already, which would give a false reading on that lie detector, which would make you look guilty. How many false readings could you get on a traditional polygraph test? because that’s what’s going on during a polygraph test also.
