I am a Michigan attorney who has practiced in the fields of Lemon Law and Consumer Protection for 32 years. I have written extensively on a variety of topics and taught both law and history. Lehto's Law is the reincarnation of a talk show I hosted for a decade on the radio in Michigan. I have also written some books, mainly involving cars and Michigan history.

It is amazing to me how people will admit to committing a crime because of psychological coercion. As a mental health professional I'm still not sure how that all works.
Court can't award other than money? How about subjecting those cops to "enhanced interrogation" for 17 hours. "You knew that guy didn't commit the crime didn't you? Confess! You know you should go to jail for life without parole, don't you?"
That cop just made up a reason to pull you over. i have been pulled over a couple times, with the cop lying about the reason. they always ask if i had anything to drink. they are out of luck pulling me over. i do not Drink. the point is they tell lies to get you pulled over.
I don't know why you say that this is over the top crazy Steve. This kind of crap happens daily in this country. Police are allowed to lie to you as an interrogation technique. I'm shocked that the cops and DA didn't try to prosecute the case and just keep the father hidden until the trial was ocer and the son was in prison.
I struggle to come up with one interaction with and LEO where they did not lie to me. A really dumb lie. A really dumb and obvious lie. A really dumb and obvious lie that was not retracted but simply replaced with a new lie as if we both had amnesia.
This, this type of sh*t is why i STOPPED supporting “the thin blue line”. I saw the interrogation video and I wanted to reach through the screen. I used to be a huge supporter of law enforcement but every single ounce of respect i had for state/local and federal law enforcement. They earn the hate.
Could the dad sue for diffamation? He wasn't dead, being dead would be quite damaging to the reputation of someone having a reputation of being alive. I'm being cheeky, but I hope there is a way to double dip on that department.
Ive worked in a hospital before. And seen patients come in for psychiatric evaluation. The offocers anyone who interacts with the patient will know what the patientbis there for and what the police say he did. Do you think you will treat a patient the same when you have just been told they killed their father, as you would any other patient? Sure, many try, but there will always be those stairs, that extra caution. I'm sure that added to his anxiety. I would recommend, with how offten this happenes: Police shouod no longer be allowed to lie durring an interrogation without a court order. Interrogations should have time limits. Police should be required to provide a decient meal and drink upon request, especually for longer Interrogations. Police can't interrogate an suspect multiple times without a court order. Police should be restricted from making threats or promises durring Interrogations. All interrogations should be required to be recorded. And without a court order allowing for it, the suspect should be free to end the interrogation at any time. (This court order should only be allowed in extreme cases, such as cases where a suspect has information required by police to save lives.) Failure to do any of these, should result in the confession or any evidence garnered automatically being inadmissible, and open the precinct and officers involved up to liability for damages. Qualified immunity for such cases where any of these are suspected to have been broken, should automatically be denied.
Someone needs to sue over the med issue. Police deny your meds in the hope that you die so that the case can't lose. If Hanlon's Razor applies here, the standards for police are too low.
That is exactly what the detectives did with Bendan Dassey in Manitowoc County in Wisconsin. Brendan Dassey is mentally challenged. The detectives made Bendan confess to a murder that he had no clue what had happened. The case is about Steven Avery and the murder of Treasa Hallbuk. Please check the video of Brendan Dassey and Steven Avery.
Not enough, first installment of many to. So not only did they torture the guy, they took advantage or his condition to get away with an extremely cheap pay out. Should also sue the judge who had him put in a mental system, and the DOJ. Everyone involved in this should be sitting in jail awaiting trial(no bail).
I mean look at what they are doing to Trump. 3 weeks of a trial and still no one can say what the crime was. All they keep saying oh he is guilty of a criminal but have know ideal what crime it is.
Sounds like a bad B movie. At basically every turn, he’s going have someone assuming he actually DID something, because this will all still be on record as if it was legitimate legal process against an actual criminal.
NO amount of money will ever help the victim in this case. PTSD for life. As for the all the common curption these days,who knows... Keeps happening over and over. Sad but true..
When I started studying law, i was listening to an audio tape...between 4 and 8(I forget now), mixed sheriff local PD stormed a house w/o warrant and held his wife in separate room while they ransacked his house and two of them beat him and threatened him coercion style to sign a consent of search waiver, unknowingly he had seen them amassing outside and setup a surveillance camera on a bookshelf and recorded the whole incident. Two were fired, three were sentenced to 3-6 years prison, and he won suit for mega millions. This was twenty years back, and look whats changed, absolutely nothing!! Come'on people, stop accepting government 'gimmees' and help stop this shit!!!
Im a retired deputy sheriff and while ive seen detectives try some unusual tactics, I have never heard of some shit like this. $900,000 isnt nesrly enough for that kind of emotional and mental damage. Totally effed up.
