during the same days we asked repeatedly for an interview with randy snead, the officer who took roberts confession. but as close as we got was albemarle county police chief steve sellers, since retired. he wasn t in office when snead was detective. but you talk to him. what was your oppression of? him i think he acted in best interest. i don t think there is a bit of malice in his actions. i think he had a very strong relationship with robert davis. but this was interesting. chief sellers did not support snead s interrogation. not at all. i will say this, i believe that the confession is an unreliable confession. what s more, the chief updated police methods when he took over. to help prevent the kind of interrogation that ended up in roberts confession. as you look at it, or things
comes straight out and tell you what i m getting at you, step that. when i slapped her. you stepped her, didn t you? one or two times. then snead asked robert wear. whereabouts on the body? it was in the middle. and again, snead correction. you had a knife in your hand. all right? and prior to stabbing stabbing her in the back. all right? you cut her. it was essentially the police is confession. not roberts. do you think by me telling you this, i get to go home tonight? today. i doubt. it well, then why am i lying about all this, just so i can go home? you re not lying. i am lying to you. i am lying to you forefront to your face. i am lying to you. just so i can go home which is exactly what juveniles who falsely canvas say. is there motivating factor for confessing. but by atm, six hours after the interrogation began, randy
situations just like his, in jails all around the country, who confessed as teenagers to primes that they maybe did not commit. in fact, to prevent that very thing, police departments in many other countries banned or dispensed years ago, with interrogation techniques still used in america. had the murder happened elsewhere, for example, here in the united kingdom, it is probable that robert still would be brought in for questioning. he was after all, named as a suspect by others in the case. but the chances that he would have been charged or interviewed for very long? close to is gyro the interview, as it is on the recording would not be legal in the uk. but evidence would not be admitted in a trial. this is andy griffith, 30 years as a detective in the uk s police department, recognized for is investigative interviews. when griffiths was a rookie, british interrogation rules were much like they are in the
was one of them. another one was pulled in that same night interviewed by detective giles and his partner. at the end of the interview, he was looked at each other. this kid has no idea what we are talking about, he was clueless to what we were asking him. so the fugett s lied when they had fingered him, he was eventually released. but robert? he had a far different experience in the interview room. and a different detective. they were sitting across from you, it was randy snead? i knew him, i knew him since i was 12 or 13. so, i was on a first name basis with him kind of a friend? yes, because i had known him for so long. why don t you tell me, robert took place that night? you tell me your story of what happened. i was at my house, man at first, robert swore that he was innocent. but, six hours later, he had confessed to murder. you stabbed her, didn t you? one, one or two times.
