Does anyone know what episode Scott's first confessional story is on?

2025-05-28 21:56:27 +0000 UTCThis study (if it's the one I'm thinking of) helps explain the phenomenom of how tunnel vision arises in law enforcement investigations. It's really, really difficult to genuinely pursue multiple lines of evidence, and working theories of a case become entrenched, sometimes with very little to go on, and can and do persist, even when mounting evidence contradicts the theory. It's another reason why all evidence, not merely incriminating evidence, but neutral and exculpatory too, has to be disclosed to the defense. It also explains the successes of cold case detectives who evaluate the same data later with an unvarnished eye. The importance of fresh minds examining information that stands to convict someone can't be overstated. We struggle to overcome our biases when we're aware of them, when we're unaware, we stand practically zero chance.

2025-04-28 06:39:22 +0000 UTCThere’s also a third camp - those of us that are on the fence and at a minimum don’t think he got a fair trial since the judge didn’t allow in a lot of exculpatory evidence. (Haven’t seen his interrogations in full yet though.) in any event I will personally enjoy your content on it !!

2025-04-28 01:48:35 +0000 UTCYou’re intuitive enough to lead the way here Scott. I really enjoy all of your videos. Opinions will always be different. Confirmation biases always lean towards the negative that is what has let humans remain alive. Ie. is that a rock or bear??? I didn’t watch Karen Reed!

2025-04-27 23:54:59 +0000 UTCI'm not super familiar with the case but was leaning toward not guilty based on a. His phone call confessions sound more delusional/stress induced to me and are not detailed b. Thought I overheard something recently that a guy who owns the property they were found on confessed? But I haven't watched the interrogations and I'm swayed by Scott's confidence. Can't wait to dive in to those. Not that you were asking for our advice per se but I think if you say your gut says guilty but you're not positive, that's enough! Ppl in true crime tend to be dogmatic but I'd like to think your viewers are more nuanced than average. Having said that it's often hard for me to watch tc content when I disagree strongly with the pov. I'm all over the road, as usual.

2025-04-27 23:53:47 +0000 UTCI do think it makes the most sense that he probably did it. I don’t like that they put him in not only prison, but solitary confinement before he was even convicted. Just makes it not feel good in general…

2025-04-27 23:00:30 +0000 UTCScott, what you're talking about is the first law of persuasion theory. As it's fundamentally impossible for humans to be idealistically 100% rational (and are never remotely close), humans make all decisions based in emotion, not logic, but view their decisions as logical / rational, and then when their viewpoint is challenged, use a combination of confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance to defend their viewpoints when challenged. We all do this by design, the key is to be aware of the phenomenon and work to recognize and transcend it. Always work to make the unconscious conscious.

2025-04-27 22:54:58 +0000 UTCI think you shouldn’t hold anything back with upcoming Richard Allen videos. If you have conviction in your opinions, speak it, and anyone who disagrees can maybe form an interesting dialogue in the comments.
