Robin Dahlberg, author of Breaking Point, in conversation with Daniel S. Medwed
Dahlberg discusses Breaking Point: When the Criminal Justice System Fails, on why innocent people confess. Working with six exonerees who each falsely confessed and served time, she sets out the interrogation tactics behind a leading cause of wrongful conviction — 13 percent of US exonerations between 1989 and 2024 followed a false confession. Daniel S. Medwed joins her.
