Police have been investigating a murder for the past month and have finally found a suspect, Oliver. Both Oliver and the victim lived in the same lowrise apartment building. Oliver is a recovering drug addict who recently had a relapse and began using again two months ago. The police brought Oliver in for questioning and interrogated him for ten hours, and even presented him with false evidence of guilt. Oliver came to believe that he must be truly guilty and entered a confession. Oliver was, however innocent.

b) If Oliver is actually innocent, why might he have come to believe he was guilty?

c) In what ways might Oliver's innocence have made him more susceptible to giving a false confession?
