Scenes of a Crime

Explores a nearly 10-hour interrogation that culminates in a disputed confession, and an intense, high-profile child murder trial in New York state. “Through a recent video-recorded police interrogation, the film examines the role that lies, promises of leniency, minimization, and fact-  feeding play in extracting a murder confession that runs contrary to overwhelming medical evidence." Just as forcefully, the film presents the jury’s perilous duty in determining a verdict in a confession case without expert testimony on police interrogations.
