Summary

Confession Validity Issues explores the troubling intersection of politics and true crime, focusing on how confessions are assessed within the criminal justice system. It examines the legal standards determining if a confession is admissible, highlighting the psychological factors that can undermine its validity. The book argues that current legal standards often fail to fully account for the pressures that induce false confessions, leading to wrongful convictions, and emphasizes the importance of understanding interrogation techniques, like minimization and maximization, that can elicit unreliable statements. The book uniquely blends legal analysis with insights from social science and forensic psychology, advocating for reforms such as mandatory video recording of interrogations and improved training for law enforcement. Landmark cases such as Miranda v. Arizona, while intended to protect civil liberties, are scrutinized for their actual effectiveness. Did you know that vulnerable individuals are particularly susceptible to coercive interrogation tactics or that erroneous confessions can imprison innocent people while freeing actual perpetrators? Beginning with an outline of the legal framework, including Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights, the book progresses through psychological tactics used during interrogations, presents case studies of wrongful convictions, and concludes with specific reform proposals. This approach aims to provide legal professionals, law enforcement, and anyone concerned with justice a comprehensive understanding of confession validity and its implications.

    Have you ever had the experience of being manipulated by a person to such an extent that you felt something was wrong with your perception? That you finally started to doubt your perceptive faculty, even your mental health? That you began to lose confidence in your senses because you were regularly told that you were perceiving reality incorrectly? You are not alone in this: this common phenomenon is called gaslighting, and it is a subtle yet serious form of psychological violence that can have lasting effects on the victim's self-esteem.

"I never said that. You're just imagining it."
"It never happened that way."
"You're overreacting."
"You're crazy. You should get help."

In this guidebook, you'll learn not only what exactly gaslighting actually is and how this mechanism works, but also how you can free yourself - and others - from the manipulation trap and ultimately emerge stronger from this crisis.

    The Stonewall Brigade went on to fight in every major battle in the Eastern theater of the American Civil War, to the extent that of the 6,000 men who fought with the brigade over the course of four years, less than 200 remained by the time General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. They were organized, trained, and mentored by one of the most revered military leaders in American history, and they made a decisive impact on battles like First Manassas, the 1862 Valley Campaign, and Chancellorsville. The brigade was virtually a spent force by the end of the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse in May 1864, which took place nearly a year after Stonewall Jackson himself had been mortally wounded at Chancellorsville. 
Organized in Richmond, Virginia on October 22, 1861, Hood’s Texas Brigade was one of the most formidable fighting forces of the Confederate States during the American Civil War. At times undisciplined, the men who comprised this brigade were a group of fearless and determined volunteers-turned-soldiers. Over the course of the Civil War, the Texas Brigade engaged over 4,000 men and was comprised of the only Texans to fight with General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia in the Eastern Theater. With the exception of Chancellorsville, these men fought in every major battle in the East, and they also participated in significant battles in the Western Theater. Of the more than 4,000 men who fought with the brigade over the course of the war, approximately 600 remained to surrender at Appomattox. The brigade suffered a horrific casualty rate of sixty-one percent and were lauded for their courage by men such as generals Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, James Longstreet, and Lee.
