Does anyone have any useful information or suggestions on the issue of false confessions of mentally disabled?

The way to "remedy" it is in the context of a trial: the defense attorney moves to have the confession excluded or suppressed.

Dont have any sources except something on court TV. That talked about the treatment and/or behavior of the serial murder in childhood. They exhibit signs early on they have found. \n\nI think this might be the link to some transcripts\nhttp://www.courttv.com/talk/chat_transcripts/2004/0910petersonbowman.html

Have you ever seen the prisoner section of a mental hospital or the hospital section of a prison?  Neither is a nice place.  And how much rehabilitation can someone have if they are out of contact with the world and/or themselves.\n\nFor concepts of justice, yes, there should be an insanity defense.  For making criminal prosecution easier, perhaps not.  \n\nIt might be an eye opening encounter if you see how few people get out of criminal charges through an insanity plea..  Get in touch with your local criminal prosecutor`s office.

Tough question due to your condition. In my opinion i would refer you to Todd Ganci see the link below. I met him a month ago and he is legitament with lots of knowledge. Perhaps he would be your best soarce of advice.

Sorry no.  Unfit for trial also means that you will be sent to a mental hospital until your a restore to normal and then you are tried.  You basically have to be insane forever to avoid the charges.  Not worth the time.

Firstly...to the practice nurse \nAn absent minded practice nurse has caused endless uncertainties concerning my Autistic 4yr old sons health and his future imms.\nI believe his ASD is related to the MMR...\nhowever, if any research were to be done on him would anyone come to\nany conclusive evidence when the dopey nurse who gave him the MMR and Prevenar at the same time forgot to note which leg she administered each vaccine?\nThe problem being is that he had localised reactions to both...one being much more severe than the other. Now ignorant people like yourself are trying to pressure me into getting his school entry MMR and DTP on the basis of no evidence that there is not a link between the two.\nWho are the small minded people? The parents or the GMC and NHS?\n\nSecondly...to the doctor\nWhat the tabloids printed actually came from a Doctors mouth in the first place.\nI don`t remember Dr Andrew Wakefield ever denying saying anything that was published...if he had, would the GMC be charging him with 4 counts of misconduct?\nIs this just another stunt to draw the attention away from the real issue..the MMR?\n\nAnd finally, being a little less judgemental of us parents could go a long way towards a step in the right direction...whatever the findings might end up to be.

We don't lock up people who have claimed to talk with God. Otherwise all the televangilists would be in jail. Only the ones who are truly psychotic and talk to the voices in their heads and carry on conversations with them get evaluated.\n \n In fact, a few years ago there was a best-seller written by a guy from Oregon. The book is titled 'Conversations with God'. In it, he describes having many "conversations" with "God".  Totally ridiculous premise that was eaten up by the secular masses.

To find more special needs adults to test this item out you could contact local "sheltered workshops" and employers who specifically hire mentally challenged adults (Genuardi Markets in my area).  If you want to present your aid to publishers or marketing people, it would help to have tested it out on your target population.\n\nBesides special needs adults who have always needed help you could also look into tthe use of this type of material by occupational therapists and those helping stroke patoents rehab in addition to alzheimers patients.\n\nwhat about contacting university masters or phd students in these fields to see if they could collaborate with you?\noccupational therapy, geriatric medicine, adulthood & aging, special education   I'm sure I'm missing some but you get the idea.

Reason is the only light that can expose falseness. Accusation only demonstrates a lack of intelligence. People should educate themselves so they can reason, then perhaps they may find truth.

#1...persistence...never give up...\n#2 Documentation of problem...from the time it happened to present...gather all doctor's appointments and results of all tests...statement from doctor's that the disability was actually a service connected disability...also records from his military health records describing the problem...\n\nBoth are "most" important...if you have every record and medical info sheet that exists, then persistence is best.
