Module 10 - Reflection Writing
In Module 1, the first required assignment asked you to examine the course and relate it to a current, real-world event or recent news story. Based on what you have learned in this course since Module 1, reflect on how your answers would change now that you have gained new knowledge.

This was my topic in module 1
After reviewing the course syllabus and reviewing the topics covered in this course, one real world event that occurred within the last 12 months that i feel relates and ties into the topics of this course deals with the interrogation and confession of an alleged murder suspect named Pedro Hernandez. Mr. Hernandez was just recently tried in court for the kidnapping and murder of 6 year old Etan Patz in New York City on May 25th 1979. The trial ended in a hung jury as there were several issues related to the confession. One of the issues was that when the police obtained the confession for the murder, Mr. Hernandez was never read his Miranda warnings until approximately two hours after the confession was obtained. His lawyer argued that his client who was a diagnosed schizophrenic, with an IQ level of 70 was not and could not been aware of his legal right to remain silent.
After reviewing the topics related to this course, the topic of The Admissible confession: The protection against false confession relates to this topic. One of the issues related to the case was that there was no evidence linking Mr. Hernandez to the disappearance and murder of the child as the body was never recovered. It is noted in the readings that the confession must be corroborated by physical evidence which in this case there was none.
