USA's system of "plea bargains" where you can be literally threatened with death penalty and tortured to forced a confession out of you is such garbage I'm speechless whenever something like that (innocent mentally disabled people getting pushed into confessing) happens but many people are okay with it and applaud it since it'll never happen to them and they hate mentally ill anyway.
C.f. Japan where a confession itself is not enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_justice_system_of_Japan#Confession_in_Japanese_criminal_investigation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_justice_system_of_Jap...
