When Dumb Criminals Lie To Experienced Detectives

#jcsinspired #Interrogation
This Video Is For Educational Purposes. It is meant to show the psychology behind how police interact with suspects to try and get their confession.
In this JCS Inspired video, we take a look at the interrogation of Tracy Jones and Brett Kelly. After money goes missing, the police begin to unravel a case where greed makes these criminals stop at nothing to get rich.

[@jrich436]

​@@devonwilliams2423 thats in interesting interpretation of events. Self preservation and stupidity is the only reason this went this way. Brett let them know he knew the playbook and they literally had a psychological reaction to it (defensiveness) that confirmed that he had called them correctly. He knew the room was recorded. He knew there was no reason to ask him a question if they already knew the answer. He knew they are not on his side or looking out for him. He knew they are capable of lying. He decided to move in his best interest after he saw the names of his accomplices and he knew that they would work in their own best interest having not established a usable alibi for all members involved. Them having the two other names was the deciding factor. Loose lips sink ships, Brett knew THAT. There was literally no pressure, only him drawing it out to have them show him what HE needed to decide if he was going to talk. They NEVER outsmarted him Cops solve cases that are handed to them by dumb criminals or witnesses, not through Sherlock Holmes like deductive reasoning....

I think leaving the phone on ring serves two purposes. One is obvious and it’s in case important information of any kind comes through, it that line of work timing is crucial. But two, imo, is it also works to throw a suspect off during interrogation. It’s a random distraction that can help trip up someone while being interrogated.

parents do be like that. When I was younger this girl I never even had sex with falsely accused me of rape. Charges were eventually dropped but I had to spend a few nights in jail first. Called my dad from jail and his first guess was, "did some girl say you did something you didn't do?" Literally without me giving him any facts whatsoever. Although I suppose that says as much about women as parents.

Brett definitely deserved the death penalty for what he did. He definitely deserved life with no parole. What he did was unforgivable. I don’t think his co-defendants deserved life though. I strongly believe they were shocked when they heard he killed her. Obviously, the law allows them to get life but it’s a waste of 3 lives to have the state support 3 people for not committing or intending to commit murder. It’s going to cost the public millions of dollars to house and care for them for the next 50+ years. Give them 20 years each for robbery.
