Why Richard Allen's Delphi Confessions Don't Hold Water
May 03, 07:00 PM
In this episode of "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski is joined by Bob Motta, a defense attorney and host of the "Defense Diaries" podcast. They delve into the complexities surrounding the motion to suppress the recorded police interrogation of Richard Allen, who is accused of a serious crime. Motta discusses the problematic nature of the interrogation, highlighting its edited segments and how they could influence the case. He also touches on additional motions to suppress confessions made to correctional officers and inmates, emphasizing the coercive environment fostered by authorities to extract confessions from detainees, often leading to questionable and unreliable admissions. Motta's insights reveal a broader critique of the criminal justice system's handling of such cases, where the mental state and rights of the accused can be severely compromised.
