Have you ever heard of a case in which a suspect is not only a young child but her own brother who confessed to her murder?This is just such a case from the late 90's in California in which Stephanie was killed in her own bed.
Now faced with intense scrutiny the focus is upon those closest to her including her brother.
However, there is a fine line between a confession and one that's forced by deceptive police tactics such as psychological manipulation through use of force and or entrapment to obtain a confession.
What McInnis proposes is a New Children's Miranda Rights warning as well as a Bill of Rights for children being questioned as suspects.
This was a fascinating read for this criminal justice major but it did fall short in the thriller and excitement area.
It read more textbook and was draining at times.
Thank you to Donald, the publisher, Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
