The...

The detective asks if she would take a polygraph. Iesha says...

The father's face crumbles. He had no idea. Th...

A child is found in a basement. He has been there for years. He is chained to a pipe. His body is covered in scars. He cannot speak. He cannot walk. He has never been to school.

A man high on crack cocaine breaks into the home of a woman he has been obsessed with for years. He finds her in her bedroom. He strangles her. He leaves her body on the floor. He walks to a nearby gas station, buys a pack of cigarettes, and calls a friend. He does not call 911. He does not call an ambulance. He calls a friend to brag. The interrogation is disturbing and surreal. The suspect is st...

A suspect sits across from the detective. His leg bounces. His eyes dart. He has been awake for thirty hours. He has not eaten. He has not slept. He has been rehearsing his story in his head for days. The detective asks a simple question. Where were you last Tuesday? The suspect's answer is too detailed. He has an alibi for every minute. He has a receipt for lunch. He has a witness who will swear...

They check his vitals. They find nothing wrong. The suspect continues shaking. The paramedic tells him to stop. The suspect stops. He stands up. He walks to the police car. He is not sick. He is acting. B...

A man stands trial for murder. He admits to killing his wife. He says he heard voices. He says God told him to do it. The jury must decide: is he a murderer or is he insane? The difference is not in what he did. The difference is in whether he knew it was wrong. In this JCS-inspired psychological breakdown, I analyze the interrogation and trial of a defendant who pleaded not guilty by reason of in...

The damage is d...
