Talk:False confession

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] John Mark Karr Speculations

John Mark Karr's confession has not been confirmed to be false. I do not think it is wise to have speculation. 09:16, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

• It isn't written as a fact, and the speculation is well documented in the New York Times and Reuters as per the 4 references on his page. It doesn't have to be a certainty to have an entry in Wikipedia, it just has to be referenced in mainstream media. Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 16:48, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

• Fair enough, but unless it is almost certain to take place, I think speculation on John Mark Karr should be limited to his article. (I am unsure who removed the John Mark Karr entry, but I wanted to discuss it before removal.) 20:21, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Innocence Project

One version of this page had a section devoted to the "Innocence Project," which is an organization dedicated to clearing the falsely convicted. The section seems irrelevant in a discussion about false confessions (rather than those who are wrongly incarcerated) and because it contained no actual information appeared to be an advertisement for the program.

[edit] JonBenet Ramsey

Does anyone know how many people have confessed to her murder? I know it's quite a few other then Jon Mark Karr. ShadowWriter 21:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
