    It's crazy when you realize that Brendan's entire case (and his life) would be completely different if he had just known one thing: You don't need to talk to the police.

    If he had just sat silently, asking for a lawyer to be present, he would be free today. They got a confession from him before charging him. Unbelievable.

    Do we really expect a 16 year old kid to understand his legal rights? Of course not. But all he needed to know is:

    a) no one is allowed to make you talk and

    b) if they do charge you, you should talk to no one except your lawyer.

    • important lesson to everyone. If ever interrogated shut the fuck up and call your lawyer._niko
    • yep - the treatment of him was most sickening. A vulnerable, low IQ 16 year old. And if Avery had a history of abusing him and controlling him as certain sitesfadein11
    • claim why did he get a life sentence - surely if what they claim happened he was coerced/bullied into being involved. And don't get me started on that scumbagfadein11
    • who virtually forced him to do those detailed drawings scaring him by saying the police will talk to his mother 1st as they wanted a recorded prison phonecallfadein11
    • confession. Regardless of what really happened the prosecution and law enforcement side were pure scumbags,fadein11
    • unless the kid was pulling an Edward Norton from Primal Fear it is impossible for me to understand how all these assholes involved in putting him behind bars ..Ramanisky2
    • .. didn't realize how compromised Brendan was with his intelligence and his social skills.Ramanisky2
