Op-ed by Temple Law professor tackles false confessions

Media Outlet: 

Philadelphia Inquirer

"Since medieval times, confessions, known as the 'queen of evidence,' have been relied on to help police and prosecutors deal with terrible crimes," wrote Louis Natali of Temple's Beasley School of Law in an op-ed. "And for nearly as long, interrogation practices have generated fear, criticism, wrongful convictions and false confessions." Natali's piece was timed to coincide with "False Confessions," a symposium at Temple Law co-organized by Temple Law Review and the Pennsylvania Innocence Project.
