This is barbaric. They just decided they were going to put this on her and pushed and pushed. This is harder to watch than a guilty person being interrogated.
ESPECIALLY if you are innocent. I'm not saying this girl is innocent. I obviously don't know. I'm just saying that especially if you are innocent do not talk to them.
This happened in 2009.. young people today are more educated on how easy it is to ask for a lawyer and most will immediately lawyer up… And the ones who don’t immediately ask for lawyer in present times, then it’s bc they didn’t want to, and not bc they weren’t warned enough.
It's yet another very sad case that features a false confession, flawed medical testimony, and a DA's office unwilling to admit they made a mistake. Sadder still is that they are still fighting for her release.
Even if you are innocent, never answer questions without a lawyer. Interrogators have a way of twisting words and are able to make you think you’re crazy and maybe you are guilty.
She's innocent. I remember her case. She confessed cause police promise her she will go home to take care of her pet dog but need to falsely confess. Didn't have a lawyer too. The boy had a medical problem.
They will say things like well they needed to lie to find out information. Does the means justify the end mean anything anymore. No matter what the circumstances are right is right and wrong is wrong.
Didn't the Stranger Stories guy mention they had withheld something in discovery. How many times have we seen that happen? Famously dramatised in Cape Fear where the defence attorney buried something that could have got the antagonist off.

@@rhondapowell9942no she didn't! She is innocent and it has been proven that she didn't hurt that baby! These officers and the DA pushed this intellectually challenged young lady into a false confession after 6 nonstop hours of badgering and no evidence! There is evidence that he had a medical condition and previous injury that caused his death. It is absolutely disgusting how this case was handled and the time she has spent in prison because of them!
Seems someone wants to blame a previous head injury on a daycare worker, thats what it looks like to me. They were awarded millions of dollars and a young woman who maybe completely innocent grew up in prison. Thats disgusting. Now the question is what actually happened & who covered it up??? What happened to Ben before he arrived at daycare?
There is strong evidence this was a false confession. The Prosecutors withheld evidence that there were head xray from an old injury that he kept re-injuring.
She had a clemency hearing in July and it’s up to the Governor whether she’ll be pardoned. I have a feeling he won’t do it, it’s easier just to ignore it.
Is that so that he had a skull crack before???? He should have had a sponge helmet and if the parents didn’t tell the daycare about prior injuries I believe they are liable !! Disclosure parents for your child’s safety!!!!!!
The state says that the evidence was made available to her defense attorney. They're playing the blame game and saying that the defense had their shot at using it at trial. Even the medical examiner has reversed his position on it being murder. The problem is that the state really hates having convictions overturned. It opens the door to all of their other convictions being questioned. It's a tough road to hoe because of the confession, regardless of it being after 6 hours of interrogation. A admission which she denied 79 times during the course of the interrogation, but gave up and just started telling the detective what he wanted to hear. The state didn't withhold evidence. Her defense attorney gave up before they even started, because of the confession.
It's very sad, as twins oftentimes are so connected, that they "feel it" immediately when a twin passes away. They've actually proven this by examining the time frames when a twin passes and the moment the other twin "feels" the loss. It's truly profound. My heart goes out to these people. 💔
This girl said she tripped and dropped the baby and blamed a chair and so on. If she was so innocent why tell a story like that? And she messed up telling thar story a few times.
@@rhondapowell9942Hello...6 hours of being told she did it...she is intelligently challenged and they absolutely took advantage of her and twisted everything to make her think she had done something wrong. It has been proven that she is innocent, he had a previous injury and medical condition. And it was withheld from her defense.
I think the fact Ben had to have meds for his tummy before he got there tells me something else was going on. This lady's demeanor doesn't fit the bill. She is innocent! Cops should not be allowed to do lie and use any means necessary to get a confession.
The babies head looks very swollen and after watching it says further examination did not find any fractures and that his head was abnormal. Wonder how many innocent people are in prison?!
Well over 90% plead guilty, and these days there is so much evidence, DNA, video cameras everywhere, phone records, GPS, etc. Theres waaay more crime going unpunished, than innocent people being railroaded.
So many. There is a whole rabbit hole about shaken baby syndrome. It’s horrible to think someone is mourning such a loss and being accused of being the killer.
Why are the investigators allowed to lie about things, particularly, evidence that is not true? These two are completely out of line. I feel bad for this innocent lady.
It’s refreshing to see people identify the travesty of this case. It hasn’t always been that way. While studying law, they tell you to never think in terms of guilt or innocence; think in terms of evidentiary quality.
Which one? The cop to the right doing all the questions? He's really starting to irritate me. I know they tend to ask the same question at different times in different ways but he acts like he's blatantly not even paying attention. I've caught him several times asking the same damn thing twice or more. It's like "Dude, are you even paying attention? She just freaking answered that question."
This guy is the worst. Was not even a cop until he was already middle aged and then got promoted to the highest rank. This was probably his first interrogation.
Idk she doesn’t seem like a killer to me at all. She is calm and collected and eloquent. I feel she got railroaded. Someone did this but I’m not sure it was her.
a person who takes pleasure from hurting babies and works as a teacher in child care must be a true monster and dangerous psychopath. this person needs to be able to skillfull and routined act as a caring, stand up citizen.

I used to work in daycare, especially infant/toddler. No matter how stressed and frazzled, the children were *always* number one. You literally fall in love with them.
I worked in the toddler room for 5 years…daycare is a truly thankless underpaid job and how could she manage to cause that much damage to this kid with so many people around she shouldve instantly said I want a lie detector test and I wont go any further till I take one
If the death of a child is suspected to be child abuse, *ALL medical RECORDS & RESULTS should be confirmed by another physician not directly associated with the case!!* All ME offices should have a contract of sorts with a neighboring office or two to review & "confirm" such results before charging the crime of Child Abuse Resulting in Death so these type of things DON'T happen to someone else!!
🤔There is an entire community who supports her innocence? Also new evidence has come to light that little Benjamin had a previous head injury that may have caused his death? And just recently Melissa C.has won her clemensy with the Parole board and is waiting for an answer at the time this video came out? I'm not saying that she's innocent but if she is she should have never been arrested? She's served 16 yrs out of her 30 yr.sentence .
This girl did no more injure this child than she would have gone home and slapped her granny. She just wanted to go home and pet her dog. I am usually 100% on the side of law enforcement when it comes to interrogation, but this was off the charts. I couldn't continue to watch it.
Nobody who works in a daycare punches out for lunch and then eats in the classroom while the kids are sleeping. That time is used for you to get away from everyone for awhile.
She didn’t do anything to that baby and it would make us all sick if we knew how many innocent parents and caregivers in prison because the doctors and the cops got it wrong
I once had a passion for becoming a preschool teacher. I genuinely loved the wonder and imagination and immense emotional growth that exists in preschool-aged children. Then, once I started getting hired in preschools, I ultimately quit repeatedly because the schools were quite literally not abiding by state regulations, and the amount of emotional damage I saw done to those children on a daily basis was too much for me to bear. I'm now a private tutor for middle school and high school students, since that's where private tutoring has the most need. I do genuinely miss the preschool setting and the amazingness of what 3- and 4-yr-olds have to offer... but I just can't make myself go back to witnessing trauma and abuse on a daily basis and then being called the problem when I call it out....
As a former ECE worker, there has to be malice in your heart to hurt the children in your care. I do not foresee her being malice and with intent to harm the kiddos in her care. There are cameras EVERYWHERE. I feel horrible for her. She will never be eligible or qualified to work with the most vulnerable, including the eldery population. If so, where is crystal or krystal in all of this?!?!
Indeed. Lying that they’re not there to try to throw her in prison when that’s precisely what they’re there for! They were patronizing to her, too. “We know you’re a smart person because we’ve been talking to you.” Slimebags! 😂
Such lazy detectives. They definitely had tunnel vision and blamed the first person that they suspected. The child already had a head injury and didn’t spend enough time investigating the parents. The parents probably told them that he had no injuries that day and they just moved on to this poor woman. This was just about closing the case asap
That younger detective is after a prey. I wonder how he feels now, knowing an innocent woman is in jail because of HIM and his partner being tunnel visioned and fixated on her guilt from the start.
I’m 23 minutes in, I don’t see anything that makes me think this young lady could harm a child. She is extremely forthcoming, she’s not giving a bunch of useless details as to distract.
Use your right to remain silent 🤫. The cops are NEVER on your side. They actually have the right to lie to you to get a confession. Always get a lawyer, stay quiet, and never trust anyone once you're implicated in a crime or questioned.
No wonder they have a high conviction rate, they coerce people. She looks so confused & sad, then distressed. She was alone for 30 seconds & they think she had time to take him out the chair, throw him against a wall & put hime back without anyone knowing. Did her coworkers not tell the cops there's no way it happened at the daycare??
Where's part two, where she confesses? This video begins with Melissa showing how she "boomed" his head. When this video ends, we're told there's a part two. Thanks for wasting an hour and a half of my time. 😮
I couldnt handle watching this. I know cops have a job to do, and detectives have to interrogate and detect. But this is a travesty!! 16 years gone! GONE.
The X Ray didn’t show a skull fracture so how why is she guilty and why didn’t the jury know that he didn’t have a skull fracture and that his head was oddly shaped ⁉️⁉️
“It’s our job to read people” get a new job guys, you’re terrible at it! I’ve watched so many of these interrogations and she didn’t show any signs of withholding anything from them. She’s probably the single most honest appearing person I’ve seen in one of these interrogations. Also, based on his history from Monday, it seems like he could have had a prior brain injury. Concussions often cause nausea and vomiting, which he was doing repeatedly on Monday.

Nobody who works in a daycare punches out for lunch and then eats in the classroom while the kids are sleeping. That time is used for you to get away from everyone for awhile.
She didn’t do anything to that baby and it would make us all sick if we knew how many innocent parents and caregivers in prison because the doctors and the cops got it wrong
The problem is these detectives are hammers and everyone they speak to are nails. Pathetic.... I hope they can't sleep at night.
This is pure coercion. Plain and simple! Coerced confession under duress. This practice needs to be stopped. These cops are absolute wolves! 😢
I would never watch this interview and say “okay now let’s prosecute her.” She seems innocent to me
She comes across as innocent to me.
Shame on the both of you detectives. This is abominable what you're doing. So shocked to see this done to this poor woman.
So there wasnt a head fracture. Shes innocent.
This is so sad to watch very disturbing
I once had a passion for becoming a preschool teacher. I genuinely loved the wonder and imagination and immense emotional growth that exists in preschool-aged children.
Then, once I started getting hired in preschools, I ultimately quit repeatedly because the schools were quite literally not abiding by state regulations, and the amount of emotional damage I saw done to those children on a daily basis was too much for me to bear.
I'm now a private tutor for middle school and high school students, since that's where private tutoring has the most need. I do genuinely miss the preschool setting and the amazingness of what 3- and 4-yr-olds have to offer... but I just can't make myself go back to witnessing trauma and abuse on a daily basis and then being called the problem when I call it out....
What?????? How so? This is putting me on the fence of a childcare job.
As a former ECE worker, there has to be malice in your heart to hurt the children in your care. I do not foresee her being malice and with intent to harm the kiddos in her care. There are cameras EVERYWHERE. I feel horrible for her. She will never be eligible or qualified to work with the most vulnerable, including the eldery population. If so, where is crystal or krystal in all of this?!?!
This is where they want to blame anyone without knowing autopsy accuracy. So they are leading her.
She came across as a sweet honest open person.
Thanks!
I want an attorney! That’s it and that’s all. It’s manipulation from the detective
This is exactly why it is difficult to trust law enforcement! Ask for a lawyer!
You start to feel about 40 minutes in, that the poor girls getting railroaded, pretty bad.
Those investigators are trying to their best to get her to admit she did it . Sickens me! Medical examiners make mistakes! Poor girl was so scared.😔
Poor girl? Geezo
If only cops and DAs especially weren’t all focused on “winning” regardless of who they actually put away and instead cared about the truth
Omgoodness did he really say we specialize and or success rate is pretty high ..! Omgoodness stop .!!! Well
Dude you failed ..!
These guys are slimy imo.
@@paulabrown6840 Viscous, even
@@VFD4u They are viciously viscous.
Indeed. Lying that they’re not there to try to throw her in prison when that’s precisely what they’re there for! They were patronizing to her, too. “We know you’re a smart person because we’ve been talking to you.” Slimebags! 😂
Someone should've told that lassie to get a lawyer before she went in there 💙
Wait, the defense had x rays proving the child did not have a skull fracture but they prosecuted her anyway? I see a major lawsuit.
Such lazy detectives. They definitely had tunnel vision and blamed the first person that they suspected. The child already had a head injury and didn’t spend enough time investigating the parents. The parents probably told them that he had no injuries that day and they just moved on to this poor woman. This was just about closing the case asap
At the first break he tells her it's time to compose herself. She was composed.
That younger detective is after a prey. I wonder how he feels now, knowing an innocent woman is in jail because of HIM and his partner being tunnel visioned and fixated on her guilt from the start.
This is ridiculous. It’s absolutely obvious she is innocent.
So sad what they did to this young girl. People with intellectual disabilities should not be interviewed. Horrific cops.
I’m 23 minutes in, I don’t see anything that makes me think this young lady could harm a child. She is extremely forthcoming, she’s not giving a bunch of useless details as to distract.
Use your right to remain silent 🤫. The cops are NEVER on your side. They actually have the right to lie to you to get a confession.
Always get a lawyer, stay quiet, and never trust anyone once you're implicated in a crime or questioned.
No wonder they have a high conviction rate, they coerce people. She looks so confused & sad, then distressed. She was alone for 30 seconds & they think she had time to take him out the chair, throw him against a wall & put hime back without anyone knowing. Did her coworkers not tell the cops there's no way it happened at the daycare??
For them to lie and traumitize this woman like that is disgusting. Her reputation gets ruined and she is assumed guilty.
If you know you did absolutely nothing wrong and they start to accuse you, that's when you ask for an attorney
Where's part two, where she confesses? This video begins with Melissa showing how she "boomed" his head.
When this video ends, we're told there's a part two. Thanks for wasting an hour and a half of my time. 😮
Especially in a case that supposedly a forced confession. Seeing her 'acting' is very important to decide whether she's innocent.
This was posted one day ago. Maybe part two is still on it's way. 🙄
If she did 16 years then it's an old case. So there must be a trial recording
This case breaks my heart for so many reasons. I pray for her to be released.
In no way did this woman give off a guilty vibe. Answers are easy, concise and consistent. She is not nervous or deceptive. WTF
Poor darling how could any one hurt a baby or a child.
Day cares should have cameras!
These police should be charged and put in prison
What a travesty for this baby, his parents, and this teacher 😭
I couldnt handle watching this. I know cops have a job to do, and detectives have to interrogate and detect. But this is a travesty!! 16 years gone! GONE.
She sure didn’t seem at all like a person who would hurt a baby.
already telling my kids at 10yrs old - you don't talk to cops alone unless you are the victim
He could’ve had a head injury before he got to the daycare ! Parents abuse their children too!
LAWYER!!!!!
The X Ray didn’t show a skull fracture so how why is she guilty and why didn’t the jury know that he didn’t have a skull fracture and that his head was oddly shaped ⁉️⁉️
They are absolutely out to put ber in jail
“It’s our job to read people” get a new job guys, you’re terrible at it!
I’ve watched so many of these interrogations and she didn’t show any signs of withholding anything from them. She’s probably the single most honest appearing person I’ve seen in one of these interrogations.
Also, based on his history from Monday, it seems like he could have had a prior brain injury. Concussions often cause nausea and vomiting, which he was doing repeatedly on Monday.
They just wanted to convicted someone so they could have the weekend off. Poor girl is innocent
