What worries me about this kid, is that he has recanted his confession and tells a believable story as to what really happened; which didn't include him killing anyone.
My fear is that having been threw wwasp and the seminars, and so having gotten into the habit of confession, he served them (the Texas Courts) up a dandy confession upon request; almost automatically. There may not be a word of truth to it - this confession - and now he is sitting on death row b/c of it.
As extremely weird as it seems - people frequently make false confessions. A person who had been threw a program like wwasp and the seminars, would be a prime candidate for both false memories and confession.
I am very afraid this kid my be innocent of the crime he is to forfeit his Life for!
MAYBE the program experience, for this kid, had the effect of making him prone to giving a false confession.
This is possible, maybe probable.
And he is on Death row!
I hope his attorney will research this and get the kid a new trial.
Maybe a few of you post program students would like to write the paper that reported on his recantation, and explain how the program might make him prone to giving a false confession; Maybe it'll help him get a new trial.
