Okay. I've used humour, and it has served it's purpose...for me, at least. Anyway, I'm asking for information about false confessions by the mentally disabled, and any suggestions to help remedy this, but I thought I already said this. You may refer to Amnest yInternational as well as the source I mentioned.

In any context that leads to injustice. Stan Walters, though, speaks in the context of police interrogations.

The first problem is that often not even the mentally disabled are aware that they have made a false confession. As difficult as it is for some to believe, the menatally disabled are inclined to accept unwarranted guilt. Many people who have been have been charged ,have not been diagnosed, and their expression of guilt is presumed to be knowledge of guilt; therefore, they not only falsely confess, but are unjustly convicted. What happens when their mental disabililty becomes known - do they have any recourse? My familiarity with the justice system says, "No". I spoke to an appeal lawyer about such a case, and he said that there was no hope to have the decision reversed. But it is even worse than this. There is a general ignorance about the mentally disabled, and many decisions are significantly based on prejudice. The system AS IT IS does not work for the INNOCENT mentally disabled.

The way to "remedy" it is in the context of a trial: the defense attorney moves to have the confession excluded or suppressed.
