I am fascinated by the phenomena of false confessions because I have a relative who is in prison for child molestation. He supposedly confessed -- I say supposedly because I have never seen a transcript of the confession so I am not sure what he actually said. But I still seriously doubt his guilt.

What brings a man to confess to something that he did not do?

He had an IQ of only 68. It is thought that he confessed to protect Christie who he believed had killed his wife accidentally during an abortion.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
