Maryland v. Shatzer - ScotusWiki
David / Amicus
A major problem with our legal system I think is that like in this case
the most important thing is being ignored the crime itself - a child was
molested!!!

I see. So you believe that in any case where it is alleged that a
child was abused, we should abandon any concern for civil rights and
just beat confessions out of the accused before executing them.

Doesn't getting the confession just waste everyone's time? You can't
believe anything a criminal says anyway. They're probably guilty, if
not of the crime they're being beaten to death for, then some other
crime, so beat 'em to death anyway.

You can't let the cops have all the fun; you have to give the
executioners something to do.

accused may have done and how bad it was was dealt with at the trial,
and will be dealt with again should his appeal lead lead to a new
trial. Appeals are there to evaluate whether the lawyers and judges
did something wrong, not the accused. Which of course is why actual
exculpatory evidence will not necessarily be even considered at an
appeal unless it for example something deliberately withheld from the
defense.
