Hey everyone, grab your cup of tea because today's case is gonna be interesting; we are talking about the recently closed case of Holly Staker which happened in the United States. We are going to figure out how much the police trust inmates and what the investigators were doing when their prime suspect was going through an acute psychosis episode. In Waukegan, Illinois, 11-year-old Holly Staker was babysitting two children on August 17, 1992, when she was then raped and murdered. Through a prison informant, the police began investigating 19-year-old Juan Rivera. During the 4 days of interrogation, Rivera revealed he possessed no knowledge of what happened; at the end of the 4th day, Rivera broke down and confessed to the crime. After investigators had left the room, he started hitting his head against the wall, lying in an unresponsive fetal position, and pulling his hair out; moreover, psychiatric nurse Toi Coleman concluded Rivera was suffering an acute psychotic episode. A typed confession was signed after; however, the interrogation continued in order to cover up inconsistencies, and a second signed confession was obtained even with knowledge of Rivera’s mental state. Additionally, there was no recording of his interrogation even though recording equipment was available. The trial began on November 1st, 1993 and was presided by Judge Christopher C. Starck. The prosecution’s evidence was predominantly focused on the second confession; Rivera was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. If you were reading along while the trial was going on, did you think that Rivera was guilty? Let me know what you think about this case in the comments. Thanks for reading and I hope to continue updating you about crime cases happening around the world.

What do the tomato, Jaffa cakes, and flapjacks have in common? They have all had their status for tax purposes decided by the courts. A tax tribunal recently decided that the 36 varieties of flapjacks produced by Glanbia Milk would not be eaten for afternoon tea, were designed to be consumed on the go, were not baked, contained significant amounts of protein, were not aerated, and had a dense,…
