Document Summary

A murder took place at a birthday party, and the police interrogated the innocent bystanders in such a way that they were in uenced to change their story. There were witnesses, but their descriptions of the criminal were very vague. Eric morgan had a bday party for himself, and he looked nowhere like the description of the rst witness, but he became one of the primary suspects. Morgan said he barely knew the victim, and he claimed he was inside the club and had no idea how or why the murder happened. The cops repeatedly ensured him that they believed him, but they kept pressuring him anyways. Very di cult case because there was not much to go on. The police charged 6 men, although there was not enough hard evidence to say they committed the murder. Just before the murder charges were processed, one of the witnesses, elaine morrison, was questioned again.
