In the early 2020s, a county sheriff’s office received not one, but two frantic 9-1-1 calls. One came from a man with a criminal history who was audibly distraught, claiming that someone had tried to rob him and had shot his girlfriend—a woman in her early 20s. In the chaos that followed, he rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was taken straight into surgery for a single gunshot wound to the head. That left him alone in the waiting area—the only person able to explain what had happened. In his version of events, he was a devastated boyfriend caught in a senseless act of violence. But according to the evidence—hundreds of pages of police reports, surveillance footage, and his own recorded statements—that version didn’t hold up. #interrogation #interrogationpsychology
