Detectives called David Thorne a "smartass" and a "spoiled brat rich kid". They coerced Joseph Wilkes into confessing to a crime he didn't commit and implicating David Thorne. While initially interviewing David, detectives said to him, "Help us help you". David's answer was, "What? You think I did this?" Being incredulous evidently made David a "smartass". All three of those detectives know they coerced Joe and had him implicate David. They all know they are innocent. How do they tell themselves that's alright? This is not justice.
David Thorne’s conviction was based entirely on the false confession of Joseph Wilkes, who was intimidated by detectives and threatened with the death penalty. Joe has since recanted
