FRONTLINE: The Confessions (2010)

Eight men charged… Five confessions… But only one DNA match.

Why would four innocent men confess to a brutal crime they didn’t commit? … PBS’s ‘FRONTLINE’ goes inside the incredible saga of the ‘Norfolk Four’ — a case that cracks open the justice system to reveal almost everything that goes wrong when innocent people get convicted.

“In The Confessions, FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel (Innocence Lost, An Ordinary Crime) investigates the conviction of four men — current and former sailors in the U.S. Navy — for the rape and murder of a Norfolk, Va., woman in 1997. In the first television interviews with the “Norfolk Four” since their release, Bikel learns of some of the high-pressure police interrogation techniques — the threat of the death penalty, sleep deprivation, intimidation — that led each of the men to confess, despite the lack of any evidence linking them to the crime..” – PBS Frontline
