The book started off with an introduction of the background of the book and what the organization is about. It has steps of advice on the process of interviewing someone so the interview can run smoothly. There are many steps of what to do and what not to do in an interview in order to make the person being interviewed feel comfortable. The introduction also has small stories about interviews that had already happened. The first interview was on Chris Ochoa who was pressured into taking blame for murder and rape and sentenced to life in jail. He talks about his childhood and when he was charged. He took us through the process of being interrogated and how he lived in jail. The second story was about Beverly Monroe who was charged with murdering her boyfriend. Beverly was considered a suspect even though it was ruled a suicide. She ended up confessing for the murder even though she was innocent. Her daughter ended up helping her get out of jail.
The intro to the book was something I liked. It gave me basic knowledge on what to do when running an interview. The Chris Ochoa story definitely shocked me. I could not believe that the detectives scared him to the point where he began to make up stories. Chris was intimidated when he thought of being raped in jail so he lied which is intense. The amount of fear that he had to make up a lie is what grabbed my attention.
