Innocent unless proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Isn't that supposed to be the cornerstone of criminal justice.  I am led to believe this is a just a common police interrogation technique that is a travesty of human rights evryone is entitled to. They should, as a minimum, sack those cops and put their faces in the papers so they can understand how it feels like. Meanwhile, the real suspect is still scot free, probably laughing himself to disbelief that the cops f***ed up big time and now feels bolder that he can get away with it again.
