How I solved a murder.

What the actual fuck, this is how police interrogation work? I thought there was a law about not being able to detain people without evidence? And they didn’t even apologize after knowing it wasn’t you…? I’m seriously appalled that they can do this and get away with it, without consequences, is this really how the world works? You can’t sue them?

Hi Jim, first of all I always had a lot of respect for you, but now this respect just went way beyond everything. I can not imagen how much courage this needed. And I am so, so sorry for everything you went through and lost because of this. Sadly most of the people will always try everything to look better or get some spotlight and do not care who they hurt with theire actions. Thank you for being so honest with us and trust us with your story. You are a wonderful person and I hope that you always will be happy in the future. 💜

Just watched this and I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I empathize so much with what you went through during that interrogation and how it made you feel. I didn't have nearly as intense of an experience as you, but I know what it feels like to go in to speak to police and have them twist everything on you. When I was 19 I was working at a sub shop that got robbed. I wasn't even there when it happened. A few days after it happened they took statements from employees asking them where they were that day. I told them where I was and where my sister was (she worked there too). Cut to about a month later. They called and asked if myself and my sister could come down. I didn't think too much of it. Went in super casually. They put my sister in one room and me in another. And then proceeded to gaslight the fuck out of me. They were convinced my sister had some imaginary boyfriend rob the store and I covered up for her involvement. They made me feel so crazy and question my own memories. I was sobbing and telling them over and over they were wrong while they were telling me my sister had already confessed and was on her way to being processed. In reality, my sister was still in the other interrogation room telling them it wasn't true while they kept telling her I was crying and to confess if she cared about me. It's absolutely criminal what they can get away with lying about and doing to people in interrogations. I asked to call someone and they refused me a phone call. Similar to you, I had no lawyer cause I was too young and dumb to realize that was something I could have. Finally they showed me surveillance footage they were basing this entire thing on of who they thought was my sister standing in front of the counter before the robbery happened. What they thought was suspicious is she kept looking back at the parking lot. And I was like um...that's not my sister? That's the bosses girlfriend. And she's looking into the parking lot to check for customers so she can move out of the way if they come in. She did that all the time. And then they fucking had the gall to yell at ME like it was my fault for not telling them a piece of information I didn't know about until then. To this day I am terrified of police because I don't trust them and the way they will create narratives just to, as you say it, neatly close the case. It's disgusting how they can take people like you and I just trying to do the right thing and twist it around on us to suit their needs. And then to have you go undercover for them and do their job? You are absolutely right they took advantage of you. Again, so sorry this happened to you and I think you're so brave to speak up on it.

Yeah, a lot of people told me to sue but honestly I just wanted to wash my hands of the whole thing.

I was so hoping to hear you end this nightmare experience with "and so I sued the Attorney General" but, knowing you as a man of true substance, I am sure that thought might not have crossed your mind. Bravery comes in all shapes and sizes, even teenagers who have a strong moral compass. Even though you did all you did to clear your name, only 1 out of every 100 000 would do what you did because your humanity, ethics, principals and yes, empathy, drove you to do more. Bravo sir !!

Hi jim , i m not good with words but just wanted to let u know after watching this i m just so proud of you and my respect for u grew 10 times more than i already did. I m amazed by the conscience u had at that point of time being so young … to do the right thing is always hard. But at the same time its so infuriating to hear and watch - at what cost!!! And what you had to loose to being on the right side. Also it was mind boggling to see how cops sent you unprotected all the way by urself to deal with the whole situation. I truly believe there was an angel watching u coz the odds of situation going wrong so many times were high. And the whole media and mayor scenario was disgusting and again i m so sorry for you to go through all that trauma… but just so u know … we r so proud of you💜

Hey Jim, it's quite something to take in so need time to finish. But feel the urge to give you support and trust. Following your channel for about a year, every reasonable human can learn that you are a man with good soul! A big hug ❤️

As someone who watches a lot of true crime, not for the fun of it but more as to try and stay updated on how these things may happen so that I can be alert, I am truly honestly so happy that you were involved in this. It must have sucked for you and I sure wouldn't want to be in that situation, but hadn't it been for you then that poor woman would never have gotten justice. I've seen so many cases where the police work has been abysmal and incompetent cops have messed up entire investigations, especially in small towns where big cases like this don't happen so often. Idk I'd like to think that your ex-friend was telling you to clear his conscience and maybe because he knew that you'd do the right thing even if he was scared to do it, it just seems like he went out of his way to tell you every detail and show you the weapons and everything, it was a true confession. Sometimes we might do things subconsciously that may not be in our own best interest but we know it is the right thing to do. Or I'm just trying to see good in someone where there isn't any, idk if it was me in your position I would try to hope that someone that i trusted and loved and spent years of my life with, that it wasn't all just a waste. But even if nothing good came out of that friendship you can always console yourself with the fact that you helped that woman get justice in the end and brought closure to her lived ones. You should really be proud it was a huge risk you took and you still have to deal with the consequences to this day.

First, thank you for trusting us enough to share this with us. It must have been hard for you to re-live this again. When I was 11 years old, I was a witness to a child sexual assault, and I had to go to court to testify. It was a horrific experience, and I have a lot of residual anger about how I was treated. 46 year old me is fucking fuming over how you were used and not protected by police and the prosecutor. Second, I am so proud of teenage you for having the conscience, bravery and maturity to handle this well. I can honestly say, you are, and always have been, a good person. You should be proud of that. Love you, Jim. Borahae.

Sorry that you went through that, Jim. Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share it with us. These cops were awful they should have protected you, and they clearly didn't. Love ya Jim
