Barry Feld ’69
Centennial Professor of Law Emeritus

Prof. Feld Quoted in Rolling Stone Magazine

Professor Barry Feld was quoted extensively in Rolling Stone about juveniles' vulnerability to give false confessions. The Netflix documentary, Making of a Murderer, investigated the case of 16-year-old Brendan Dassey sentenced to prison for life based on a confession his attorney's argue was coerced. Based on the research in his prize-winning book, "Kids, Cops, and Confessions:  Inside the Interrogation Room" (NYU Press 2013), Feld explained why juveniles are more likely than adults to confess falsely.
