Good value given

The 911 call described a small white man, and Dixon is a tall Black man.
The detective told Dixon his guilt 'isn't an issue' and said there was conclusive video.
Dixon asked whether the detective was bluffing about a video to see how he'd react.
Justin was later exonerated after his accuser was caught lying on the stand multiple times.
Dixon spent three and a half days in jail before another investigator checked his alibi, and he later won 46,000 dollars in damages.

How do innocent people act when they're wrongly accused?

JCS compares two innocent men. Michael Dixon, arrested in Hamilton, Ontario in 2003 despite not matching the suspect description, stays calm and polite, holds eye contact and even calls the detective's bluff about a video. Justin, accused of burglary and assault, reacts with loud, defensive anger. JCS says that kind of combative denial is the more common response from the innocent, and Dixon's composure was the unusual one.

Worth watching?Good value given. A careful, sobering look at how innocent people behave in interrogations, using real footage. Some of the second suspect's language is strong.

This is an analysis of real interrogation footage. Both men in it were later cleared.

The lesson the video draws: police should check the basics, like the 911 description and a suspect's alibi, before deciding someone is guilty.

Quotes from the video

“atypical behavior and guilty behavior are generally distinguished from each other with relative ease.”
“I'm saying I I'm, you know, trying to call your bluff here because since I know I didn't do it, there's no way I can be on the video camera.”
