99. Central Park Jogger 2: How should we interview children?
It’s 1989 in New York. Trisha Meili is attacked in Central Park and five teenagers confess to the crime. But none of them did it.
The Central Park Five confess on video to police and appear on every front page in America. But why did they confess if it’s not true?
In this second episode of this two parter, Bad People hosts Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen explore how the police interview children. Should they be treated the same as adults? Or is there a better way to extract their testimony?
