Officers rushed to the school and arrested 16-year-old Martell Williams in front of his classmates. Williams was then brought into the interrogation room and grilled by detectives, who got him to give a full confession - but things weren't as they seemed.

youd think they would have pride in solving a case rather than pinning it on a total innocent.This happens all the time.Sick detectives
In all fairness to the police, black people just don't know how to behave.
Yeah youd think aye'
yeah...ALL of them...They NEVER find lost, missing kids...save people from kidnappers..
They are ALL sick.
This doesn’t happen all the time
This officer needs fired.
And you needs English class.
to be fired
@@RowdyLowdy 🤣 No habla english
@@RowdyLowdy and lowdy is spelled loudly so maybe we can take that class together 🤣🤣🤣
arrested
Imagine if he had no way of proving that he was at the basketball game
Scary to think about
Those detectives did NOT do any fact checking prior to arresting a child. Lazy SOB's. I wouldnt usually say this, but both detectives deserve to get fired and lose their pension!! Horrible.
You better say that!! 100%!
Please parents teach your kids at a young age to always tell the truth when it comes to the law and don’t admit to anything that u haven’t done to police officers or detectives. Don’t lie for anyone no matter who the hell it is. Don’t talk to the law without them being there or a lawyer being there if they ever find themselves in trouble. Ignore them if u ask for your parent or lawyer. It’s sad this has to be done at such a young age but that’s how life is these days especially for brown skin minors.
Never talk too cops wihout a lawyer
This☝️. People don't take their Miranda rights seriously. Shut up and get a lawyer
ESPECIALLY when your car has been stolen, your CHILD is missing, you're being abused by some one, your neighbor kills his wife, etc.
How about don't murder people? Get help.
Comments like this are the reason humanity is circling the drain. Talk to cops if you aren't a piece of $hit.
Imagine how many people are locked away because of false confessions 😢 Especially kids
Disgusting. Should be fired instantly.
He’s a minor, why were his parents not called? Held for 48 hours as a minor! WTF 😳 poor child, I hope he and the person murdered get justice.
Depends on the state for how interviewing minors can be handled.
Never, ever, ever talk to cops without a lawyer. These kids think they get to go home if
they confess. Not true. Call mom r dad and they will say he was at a game. 15 years old can b tried as an adult. Keep your mouth shut.
@@catherinewinkeler8587 So in your country you call 15 year old boys as a "kid" or "child", and they will confess to a murder in order to go home?!!!😂😂 what a Fd up ridiculous culture you've turned to!
Growing up, we are told that if we have a problem that we get a Police officer because they will help. You are almost better off taking your chances finding a stranger to help you.
That is complete sarcasm, but the irony is crazy!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@danielleterese402 yeah,try a stranger then you'll find out!
I don’t understand how people confess to things that they didn’t do. Why do they do that? This is nuts. I don’t understand why this happens. Justice man & I hope the victim heals
Waukegan illinois is def not a tiny town lol. Its a pretty large suburb of chicago and it's surrounded by similar suburbs
I would think that not only is there a big difference between lying to a competent adult and lying to a minor, but there's also the difference between lying over potential case fact, and lying to someone about their constitutional rights or the legal process in general. This kind of instance definitely leaves a really bad impression.
Call my mom,please call my mom, no more. Call my mom, just call her. They should be ashamed of themselves. Sue them, this is not right; thank goodness for the cameras.
When the police department gets sued -- its as if they are suing the Tax Payer! What did the Tax Payer do wrong?
We the people accepted a corrupt government years and years ago. That’s the problem.
@@Sheena7625absolutely
Exist
How is that you are a "good person" and all you are is hellbent on putting someone, anyone away for a crime?
Does this police officer still have a job?
She said at the end that both of them are still working- like - let’s just cover this up with some bullshit story telling from the sheriff 😅- not cool I hope the family sues - apologies mean nothing for 48 hours to this 15 yr old trama
population 89,321 is a small town?? I must be I a TINY town with only 3,656 people.
That’s not a small town . A small town is 20,000 or less . My town is extra small 756 and the main shopping town is 26,000
Waukegan is in the northern suburbs of Chicago. It's not some small town in downstate or western Illinois.
3,600 people, that was my highschool
@@jasondavis1949 Back in 1953? were you born in 1949? My town has a lot of farming Cherries and wine grapes.
I’m sorry even as 15 year old I would never admit to doing anything I didn’t do period . My parents didn’t raise a dummy . I guess because my dad was involved in the community and law I was more aware of the system than most and that was back in the 70’s .
Got that right boy could of never punked me like that
The IQ of this one is well below room temperature
Where were his parents or family members and loved ones??? You can’t detain a minor without parental consent…why would he admit to something and he knows damn well he didn’t do it and was no where near the scene….something not adding up…..
The eyes aren’t even close the person who did it is older than teen. Some are unable to see their children in our children
He just in that interrogation room chillin just saying boy oh boy
Why not just tell them he was playing ball to begin with and to check his alibi? Rather then setting there two days listening to that crap?
Yea that’s what I don’t understand
Never let police trick you. If they jad the evidence they said they did they wouldn't talk to you at all, they would just arrest you. Never waive your rights. Ask for a lawyer immediately and invoke your right to stay silent.
Not exactly true but still, never talk to cops.
They still want the confession!
Law&Crime Interrogations, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
The only thing I don’t like is all their commentary crap….let us just watch the interrogation video. We don’t need Blue’s Clue’s help. Lol
@@1398go especially when it was as ridiculous as this one was. " with time being of the essence officers burst through the doors of the school " 😂😂😂
didn’t they check his alibi first before arrests or interrogation?
You have the right to remain silent everything you say can and WILL be used against you.
Can and will be twisted to use against you lol. They just need someone to be guilty. It saddens me with all the false imprisonments.
@@Yerocco For real but you have to blame people for being so stupid too.
@@SMOOVKILL1 not really. Sleep deprivation and fear can get people to say wild things. We hear people lie to us over the dumbest things daily. It doesn’t surprise me that the innocence program has saved so many people from false imprisonments. It’s so easy for us to judge and not be in that situation.
I enjoyed this video tho & it’s info thank you for posting
Just sad. Poor kid. This is ridiculous.
Plot twist, he was confessing to a previous incident and not the particular one in question. Mind blown 👀
If i didnt do it...i dont care what you say to me. If i didnt do it, im not going to agree with anything you say. I remember being 15. I had attitude and was mouthy. I wouldnt let anyone talk me into confessing. If this kid didnt pull the trigger, he wouldnt have said he did it. I dont care what evidence in abundance you say you have, im still saying no.
I wonder how many other ppl have confessed to crimes they didn’t actually commit due to these horrible interrogation tactics. Placing someone under extreme duress and then making them feel like their only way out is through confessing. And to do it to a minor is even worse. But him being a minor isn’t the only time something like this happens. Remember the guy who confessed to the murder of his own daughter after being placed in a similar position.
It's interesting that the victims don't seem to know what's going on. Cops can sense it. I've seen some dignified interrogators. These 2 be not them.
@@garcdonald The victim making up an entire story about discarding a weapon that he never possessed and retracing steps that he never took was bazaar to me. Every time I would hear a confession, I took that as a true admission of guilt. Now I have to start asking myself how the detectives went about getting those confessions.
More than you would think. That's why there is a national organization called The Innocence Project
He said the store clerk was threatening him and that he himself, has a temper. Why the hell would anyone agree to a story of shooting someone. I don't care he was 15. I was 15. I'd just laugh and tell they have nothing cause it wasn't me. How they get him to confess to something in story that's made up, is just crazy to me. For pokice to do it, but for the suspect to allow it.
@@cookiechaser126easy for you to say since you’re not in that position and I pray you never are. Being detained for 2 days and grilled for questioning while being tired can get you some interesting things. Man convinced to harming his two kids which were false. It’s easy for us to say “how in the world did you admit to that?” But we don’t truly know. I hope we don’t.
Those detectives need fired! It’s insane what they did to that 15 year old. They tried to destroy that kids life. If they would’ve did the tiniest bit of investigative work before they even arrested him in front of his entire school then they would’ve found out he was playing a damn basketball game in front of a lot of people. And the one detective saying he was there for him (the 15 year old) and not the other detective is horribly manipulative. They should be ashamed of themselves. They are grown men and know damn well that kids are easily manipulated. They knew they were wrong. Police should be charged criminally and fired immediately when they do stuff like this. Laws need to change to protect kids and even adults from situations like this. Police shouldn’t be allowed to lie, especially to children. Police aren’t held to the same standard as everyone else and it’s bs. Thankfully there was proof of his alibi. Those cops are a joke.
This is so scary for others who have been interrogated by them and wrongfully convicted.
Yeah how many innocents are in jail because of this cop behaviour 😡
I hope that everyone involved in this learned a lot...especially the detectives and LE supervisors. We must do better.
Boy ain’t no way at 15 I would have did that.
Cops wonder why we don’t trust them lol
Yes!!!!
Especially considering that it is legal to lie and manipulate a suspect in an interrogation, it’s absolutely ridiculous and disgusting that it’s also legal to question a minor without a lawyer or guardian there. This kid is not mentally challenged, but this reminds me of Making a Murderer when they coerced a false confession out of the slow cousin and convicted him. Kids and mentally challenged people can’t profess interrogation tactics and can be convinced to say anything.
I hope the Behavior Panel covers this.
A 15 years black, American teen confessing to anything in an extremely civil interrogation is better locked up for civic wisdom.
You could tell it wasn't Martell.... The eyes were not the same, he has lighter skin, and unless he was borrowing a Madea or a Norbitt suit, his whole body shape was different. Good/Great detectives allow the "suspect" to speak for inconsiderate. They don't just tell people what they have done with no chance to answer, let alone get a word in bc the detective is over talking. That guy shouldn't be a detective, and shouldn't be doing any type of interrogations, especially high stakes charges, (unless you want a false confession. He's an awful being. That's evil to try to send a kid away for a very long time. Shame on him.
I’m confused, did this kid actually know what they were talking about? The actual situation at the dollar store? Was he just making a story with what they were saying? I need to know! 😂
Never talk to the cops without a lawyer!!
Notorious P.I.G.
Waukegan, like Wilmette and Winnetka, is in the northern suburbs of Chicago, just a bit further north than the other two. It's not some small town in western or downstate Illinois... It's in Chicagoland, just south of the border with Wisconsin (and Kenosha).
Laziness to investigate
Where the hell were this kid's parents? Questioning a minor without representation OR his parents?! GTFO
Why was he questioned without an adult present 🤔
His admission to this crime leads me to believe he was confused about which one he was clearly talking about and was involved in one very similar. May not have been this exact one but clearly one that was very similar which is why he add’s details.
This detective gives hard working law enforcement officers a terrible name, a big black eye. He should be demoted to the police station toliet bowl and urinal cleaner. He was just looking to solve the case at any cost including this young man's life. He has a lot to answer for here and when he stands before the Lord.
This is known as the Reed Technique:
"The technique is known for creating a high pressure environment for the interviewee, followed by sympathy and offers of understanding and help, but only if a confession is forthcoming. Since its spread in the 1970s, it has been widely utilized by police departments in the United States."
1) Dont talk to the police. Get a lawyer. You are granted that right for a reason! It will *not* make you look more guilty.
2) the things you say, not just can be used against you: it will be weaponized and used against you in court. For example: you get arrested, the cop asks if you take medication. You answer honestly "Yes sir. I have ADHD and have a prescription for Adderall" .....when you get to court, you will be met with "when arrested, the suspected admitted to regularly taking amphetamines."
3) If you didnt do anything wrong, then dont say you did. Always have a lawyer present and make sure you listen to the rights being read to you! If you arent under arrest and just being questioned, oftentimes: youre free to leave. You can get up and walk out. If you stay and miss speak, you may wind-up in jail. 👍
4) when youre being read your rights, understand that even the cops are suggesting that you not talk to them
5) Cops usually can't make deals with you. So, say you arent a great human and you murdered someone. The cops will say something like "Maybe, things got outta hand. you felt threatened and defended yourself. Youre not a cold-blooded killer! Maybe you had to defend yourself and you killed them in a justifiable manner? is that what happened" ....they may already have enough evidence to convict you for murder, not self defense. All they need is for you to confirm that you did, in fact, end a person's life. They don't have to tell you what they know. They also are not lawyers or judges....so them suggesting that you could get less time or a lower charge, is often BS.
They should have tried the peace technique instead
@@sunshinedaydream70 I agree. The Reed Technique often....doesn't work. It works enough to continue being used, but.... that's why you have the right to a free attorney. They will be able to stop tactics like this.
Forcing a false admission of guilt is a constitutional rights violation, as you have the right to not self incriminate. If you are coerced into it, then it violates more rights. 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
So, I'm not sure why they risk it still... 🤔 🤷🏽♂️
Im confused why the kid would talk then and tell them he tvrew the gun and so forth im so confused by this
Where the hell is his parents??
Here it is 5 minutes into the video and I have to stop watching because I'm laughing so hard. The narrative so far is hysterical. 😂😂
No jail time . This is wrong
These officers, many of them not just these, have to outsmart criminals because criminals are so dang smart anymore. And in the process, many have lost t!!! They’re breaking the law, they’ve lost their morals and now, now they’ve really screwed up!!!! BAD poor kid!
This could make one ask..is there something for LE to lose, if the right person is convicted? Does LE have "skin in the game?"
Eh I’m not feeling the female narrator. 🥴
Ofcourse these cops wont go to jail for doing this.
It’s sad tho when you know the law is there to protect you or etc & yet you try and speak out or something & no one cares. Maybe that’s why he didn’t realize he shouldn’t have been there alone. Or spoken to them. Where is the parents? This is when the law is bullying people to get there way. Justice
These cops doing this , should be ashamed, how many other people did they do this to. People who never been in trouble dont know to never talk to police without a lawyer present. They should of never talked to him without a parent present, he is a juvie.
Yet he admitted to killing people.. nobody can trick you into that..
The prisons are full of people wrongly convicted because of crooked cops like this. Until you are in this situation, you don't know.
Lots of people are prone to manipulation. After two days and not realizing he was only detained it made him feel like he needed to say something to get out the room.
You're very naive or just haven't researched into this type of confession. Happens more than you think. Prolonged interrogation can make a human agree to anything to try to get out of there.
be wanting to cry at stuff like this. poor kid. like
Good lord.
I mean why not deny deny deny,,?
Why,,?
Why say you did it if you didn't
I mean i understand the coos manipulatuve power but geesh what a trip💫
Guilty otlr innocent no matter your age, laywer should be the only Word coming from your mouth always
these 2 scam scun cops got raises for this
This was in Waukegan IL and this story was kind of a big deal
The dude in the store with the mask isn’t the same kid. The kid is covering for the actually shooter . Because he is a minor he will get lesser charge I think they have the wrong guy. He wouldn’t have just confessed if he actually did it
How old is he ? If he 17 they don't need parents
15 years old
just pin it on an innocent.So low class cops
shop lifters are usual suspects tho.
I'm not feeling the "production" of this video. Im on a channel about interrogations but this isn't it.
Reid technique did exactly what its always done get a confession wether they are guilty or not.
Fingering the wrong person really benefits no one. These disgraces of cops only concerned with their own well-being and advancement -- at YOUR expense. The second cop in the room was so happy to sign the kid's false confession, he was fumbling and bungling for the paper and pen like he just won a lottery (you know, for $2 you get back a jack-pot based on something you did nothing to earn) Nice town: walking down the street and stopped by those two who try and pin their jive on you?
This video really resonates with me as it highlights the urgent need for renewable energy solutions to combat climate change. It's inspiring to see how embracing cleaner alternatives can lead to a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Y would u be mad at police the facts were ppl I’d u ok we come talk to u thinking ur are suspect I do what I need to do to get confession frm possible suspect u confess wtf does that lead me to believe at the time he was id cops did nth wrong
Now if he was him nobody woulda said zhi
He wasn't ID! The cops lied to him to him about that to get him to confess. Did you watch the same video?
Which btw.... is completely legal for them to do!
This video makes it seem like they violated his rights by literally reading them to him
