Rome — An American teenager was illegally blindfolded before he was interrogated as a suspect in the slaying of a newlywed police officer in Rome, an Italian police commander said Sunday after the emergence of a photo showing the young tourist restrained with handcuffs and with his head bowed.

I’m old enough to remember when reflexively believing police claims of a confession wasn’t a liberal value.

18 years old. How long do you think it took to crack him?
