Connelly (1986), SCOTUS considered the case of a mentally ill man who approached an officer on the street and confessed he had murdered a young woman. The Court determined that the man's confession: was voluntary, because it was not compelled The origin of the right to remain silent is tied to what common-law rule? confessions have to be voluntary Which of the following cases concerned whether a confession was voluntary or not? Colorado v. Connelly Which of the following is one of the types of false confessions discussed in the text? internalized false confessions Which of the following is not one of the reforms aimed at reducing the false confession problem? limit the Miranda warning According to SCOTUS's decision in Miranda v.

Arizona (1966), SCOTUS held that police officers violated Ernesto Miranda's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during Miranda's custodial interrogation. true According to SCOTUS's decision in Miranda v. Arizona, the waiver of Miranda rights may be presumed, either by silence following warnings or from an eventual confession. false Research by psychologists shows that jurors may give credit to confessions obtained during high-pressure interrogation because: of the fundamental attribution error In what case did SCOTUS hold that criminal suspects who want to protect their right to remain silent have to speak up and unambiguously invoke it?

false Researchers recommend that officials present members of a lineup to the witness one at a time. Suggestion is particularly powerful during the retention phase of memory. true Forensic science produces some of the most powerful evidence imaginable. true Researchers have demonstrated that being of another race when identifying strangers: substantially increases the risk of mistaken identification.
