Juan Rivera appeared at the first public showing of a documentary about his two-decade legal odyssey related to his wrongful convictions in the rape and murder of a Waukegan girl.
Rivera was convicted in three separate trials for the 1992 rape and murder of 11-year-old Holly Staker, despite evidence that continually unraveled over the years, including a false confession extracted from a then 19-year-old Rivera that came at the end of a grueling three-day police interrogation.
Juan Rivera, exonerated in a murder conviction for which he served 20 years, poses Thursday, January 12, 2012. The documentary is a case study of how grueling interrogation techniques can result in false confessions, and how tunnel vision can lead to wrongful convictions.The filmmaker, Dan Asma, is the brother of Dave Asma, a Lake County investigator in the public defender’s office who was involved in the Rivera case. Both participated in the panel discussion. Dave Asma said many false confessions result from police officers who think they have an innate sense of when a suspect is being truthful.
