I don't understand why cops act like that. They aren't interested in finding the real culprit, they set their sights on someone and work to prove that they did it. I wonder just how many innocent people are in jail, and how many have been coerced into confessing in order to get out of jail or get less time for a crime they didn't commit.

I hope he can rebuild his relationship with his little girl.
