Author: Siyuan Wu
Published: May 23, 2017

Abstract: : Many states in the U.S. started to push for audio or video recording of interrogation after 2003. The main force for this reform is the innocence movement led by the Innocence Project. The article described how the Innocence Project found false confession is one of the leading contributors to wrongful convictions, and the DOJ’ measures on this in 2014. The article also put a great detail in New York State’s practice and regulation, as well as on how an interrogation room is laid out and operated in NYC.
