  • Juries, however, must also have a comprehensive understanding of how an interrogation is broken down and how the interrogator determined the "presumption of guilt", which is a prerequisite, for conducting such an interrogation.
  • When police conduct criminal investigations using what Leslie refers to as a deductive method of investigation, it may result in the targeting of innocent persons based on many factors.
  • This can happen when suspects are targeted based on uncorroborated or faulty information provided by eye witnesses, victims or questionable confidential informants.
