8. The mirage is almost undetectable by the low information voter when a confession is involved

I haven't seen "Making a Murderer" but I did see a similar documentary "Murder on a Sunday Morning" several years ago that was chilling and terrifying--it involved an accused child (poc) who "confessed" after being "interrogated" by the police. If you haven't seen it, watch it. A "confession" doesn't mean what most people think it does. From the documentary lovers' web page:

(2001) Mary Ann Stephens is shot in the head at close range in front of her husband. What unfolds next is one of the most appalling miscarriages of justice in American history.
