...have seen butchers show as much emotion as he did when they were cutting up a sheep's ribs." Frightened, Smith helped Brady and Myra Hindley wipe away the blood and truss up the body before going home to his wife. On crossexamination, defense attorneys got Smith to admit that he had accepted money from London's News of the World for his story of the crimes and the trial...
Only the Truth. If Joe refuses to admit statutory rape, for example, the interrogator can always claim that the girl is accusing him of forcible rape. Result: "The subject will usually react immediately by making a denial of any force, while at the same time admitting the act of intercourse itself." If Joe still refuses to talk, "point out the incriminating significance of his refusal." Indeed, the law assumes that failure to deny a serious accusation is unnatural, and therefore a sign of guilt, known as an "adoptive admission." As one judge put it: "If you say anything, it will...
...more than 35 subsequent cases, the Supreme Court worked out new standards under the due-process clause of the 14th Amendment, which is binding on states.

Last week Wallace Smith told the 20,000 delegates and visitors at Independence that his newest guidance calls for a replacement of certain officers in the hierarchy and for an expanded new program of evangelism...
...there was an understatement. Roberta crossed the finish line in 3 hr. 21 min. 2 sec.-good enough to place 124th out of an otherwise all-male field of 416. Will Cloney, director of the marathon, refused even to admit that she had competed at all: "I know of no girl who ran in the Boston Marathon," he insisted. "She couldn't enter. I do know of a girl who is supposed to have run the same roads as the marathon route today. But that's not the same." No? Roberta is planning to run again next year...
