Innocent Man Wrongfully Convicted: The Disturbing Crime and Coerced Confession

The podcast episode explores the case of Chris Tapp, who was wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of Angie Dodge. Tapp's confession was coerced by police during a series of interrogations that lasted for hours over several days. The cops utilized tactics such as leading questions and playing the hypothetical game to make Tapp question his own innocence. The confession, which was the main evidence against Tapp, was later revealed to be false as DNA evidence found at the crime scene did not match his. This case highlights the dangers of false confessions and wrongful convictions, as well as the role of police coercion in obtaining them.
