(109,068 posts)But I can tell you several things.
She did undergo more than 50 hours of interrogation, but they were spread over 4 or 5 days. She didn't just break down after 2.5 hours of interrogation. And she was tired and hungry because it was in the middle of the night.
And that interpreter is not an unbiased witness -- she was a police officer, and the police force she's a part of has been accused of violating civil rights.
Since Italian law calls for the videotaping of all confessions, and they didn't videotape or even audiotape Amanda's, excuse me if believe Amanda when she says she was hit -- and not the police officer who denies doing it. Are you aware that Patrick Lumumba, the bar owner, also said that he had been beaten by the police? But then he withdrew that claim after he decided to sue Amanda . Excuse me if I believe his original claim instead.
