In the early 2020s, a county sheriffâs 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 girlfriendâa 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 areaâthe 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 evidenceâhundreds of pages of police reports, surveillance footage, and his own recorded statementsâthat version didnât hold up. #interrogation #interrogationpsychology
