About this product
Product Information
When Teresa Halbach went missing and was presumed dead, the police targeted Steven Avery for the crime. But Avery's 16-year-old nephew Brendan Dassey told the police that he saw Halbach driving away from Avery's property the day she supposedly was murdered. This version of events would be devastating to the state's case if it ever reached Avery's jury. The police decided to interrogate young Dassey again. For their next go-around they questioned him four times in 48 hours-each time without an adult present and often without reading him his Miranda rights. During this process, the interrogators not only coerced the learning-disabled child into changing his story, but they also got him to confess to participating in the murder! Even though Dassey's so-called confession was contradicted by all of the physical evidence, the jury believed it and found him guilty. Now, more than a decade after the trial, the saga lives on. Although a federal district court reversed Dassey's conviction, a flip-flopping federal appeals court eventually reversed the reversal. Dassey remains convicted and incarcerated; the Supreme Court of the United States is his last hope. Anatomy of a False Confession: The Interrogation and Conviction of Brendan Dassey answers several questions, including: Why did Dassey agree to talk to his interrogators in the first place? Why weren't they required to read him his Miranda rights? Most significantly, how did the interrogators get Dassey to confess to a crime he did not commit? If Dassey was innocent, where did he get the details for his so-called confession? Why did the jury ignore the physical evidence and convict Dassey of murder? And why did the federal courts reverse Dassey's conviction, only to reverse their own reversal? Anatomy of a False Confession takes the reader inside the interrogation room and inside the courtroom to expose the interrogators' tricks, the prosecutors' ploys, and the judicial sleight of hand that conspired to put Dassey behind bars-probably for the rest of his life. The book also discusses several ways that the law should be reformed to avoid future injustices.

Reviews
Michael Cicchini has written a wonderfully descriptive and insightful book, the definitive account of the interrogations of Brendan Dassey and his coerced, contaminated and (almost certainly) false confessions. Cicchini masterfully describes the tricks of the interrogation trade, how police investigators have adapted to the theoretical Miranda protections and turned them to their advantage, and, more importantly, how and why police interrogation strategies - including some of those advocated by the Chicago firm Reid and Associates - can and sometimes do lead to false confessions from the innocent. Anyone who watched the Netflix series Making a Murderer with rapt fascination will want to read this book., Cicchini has crafted a detailed and insightful review of Dassey's case. The book provides detail and analysis of these important legal events in ways that appear likely to be illuminating even to fans of Making a Murderer. The connections Cicchini makes between the details of the Dassey case and larger issues in the criminal justice system make this work an important resource for the interested public, as well as for scholars and practitioners in the legal system and related fields., https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-5381-1715-6Anatomy of a False Confession: The Interrogation and Conviction of Brendan DasseyMichael D. Cicchini. Rowman & Littlefield, $32 (248p) ISBN 978-1-5381-1715-6Defense attorney Cicchini (Convicting Avery: The Bizarre Laws and Broken System Behind "Making a Murderer") uses the notorious murder case at the center of a Netflix true crime documentary as a framework for exploring deficiencies in the American system of criminal justice. His focus is on the methods used by Wisconsin police to get Brendan Dassey, a "16-year-old kid with a low IQ score," to confess to involvement with Steven Avery in the 2005 killing of Teresa Halbach, a confession that Cicchini maintains was both false and coerced. In easy-to-read chapters, Cicchini spells out common methods interrogators use, including lying to a suspect, distorting the meaning of the Miranda warnings, and threats. On the minus side, Cicchini displays a clear pro-defense bias (he suggests, misleadingly, that it's only prosecutors who use jury selection to preview their cases) and can be distractingly hyperbolic, as when he claims that in most of the U.S. "no case is too small for the police to pursue to the ends of the earth." Still, this is an accessible look at the problem of false confessions for lay readers unfamiliar with better treatments of the subject, such as James L. Trainum's How the Police Generate False Confessions: An Inside Look at the Interrogation Room. (Nov.), In easy-to-read chapters, Cicchini spells out common methods interrogators use, including lying to a suspect, distorting the meaning of the Miranda warnings, and threats., Michael Cicchini has written a wonderfully descriptive and insightful book, the definitive account of the interrogations of Brendan Dassey and his coerced, contaminated and (almost certainly) false confessions. Cicchini masterfully describes the tricks of the interrogation trade, how police investigators have adapted to the theoretical Miranda protections and turned them to their advantage, and, more importantly, how and why police interrogation strategies - including some of those advocated by the Chicago firm Reid and Associates - can and sometimes do lead to false confessions from the innocent.
