When the bodies of Wayne and Sharmon Stock were discovered on April 17 2006, the small town of Murdock, Nebraska was stunned. The couple, who were pillars of the community, had been gunned down in their sleep.

The crime scene was especially brutal, suggesting a targeted attack. But who would want Wayne and Sharmon dead? As investigators searched for answers, a chain of events was set in motion that would destroy a family, divide a community, and lead to one of the worst miscarriages of justice in Nebraska’s history.

I remember watching this case on Confession Tapes. It broke my heart. Highly recommend that series if anyone is interested in seeing the actual interviews.

The fact that this interrogation method is still permitted in the US is more proof of how far they are behind the rest of the civilised world. Guns, limited health care, no guaranteed paid vacation leave, no guaranteed parental leave, no just cause required for firings, capital punishment, fragmented policing, the list goes on. It's like people and common sense don't matter over there. On a positive note, thank christ for Tuesday.

So infuriating. You can tell the whole way through they were innocent. So they lied about the lie detector results ? Surely that can't be legal. How did the lawyers not have the results 🤔

One of the worst cases of confirmation bias by the police. This is why many people don't trust the police. Total trash investigation.

As frustrating as it is, American police are permitted to lie to suspects during interrogation.
