confessions

Confession cases are some of the most difficult to defend; juries, judges prosecutors and even some criminal defense lawyers often believe that only guilty people confess to crimes. The Brendan Dassey case, shown in the Netflix Documentary "Making A Murderer" has highlighted the problem of coerced and false confessions. In the webinar we will focus on both suppressing confessions and persuading juries that confessions are false. Deja Vishny will focus on how to litigate motions to suppress due to Miranda violations, involuntariness and lack of reliability.
