Imagine that, at age seven, you were chosen for a research project, in which, every seven years, you would be quizzed about your life's intimate details: the tests you failed, the dreams you pursued or abandoned, the jobs and loves you lost. Not only that - your reactions would be shown on television in your home country and in movie theaters around the world. Think of it.

In the process, they found numerous inconsistencies between the confessions, essentially the only hard evidence offered in the trials, and the crime scene evidence. For example, Tice had confessed that six men had used a claw and hammer to break open the door to Moore-Bosko's apartment, but police found no signs of forced entry or struggle. Deborah Boardman...
