72% of Developmentally Disabled Exonerees Were Convicted on False Confessions Fixing it is a bipartisan slam dunk.

 This is at https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/72-of-developmentally-disabled-exonerees

Given that I am writing a book about the wrongful conviction of a friend, I'm bringing this to your attention.

Most confessions of developmentally disabled adults are due to their being lied to about the evidence against them. Moreover, many simply don't understand why they've been charged or how the police could have the evidence they tell them they do.

Worth broader circulation, I think.
