Did the police push David Lyttle into a false confession? Or did they just give him an opportunity to tell the truth?
David Lyttle's defence lawyer wants the Mr Big confession gone.
He argues that is too unreliable - too obviously untrue - to be considered by the jury. What's more,the confession- and the whole case - should be thrown out because David Lyttle made it up in a desperate attempt to get into Mr Big's gang.
The judge isn't so sure.
Did the police push David Lyttle into a false confession? Or did they just give him an opportunity to tell the truth? Is it safe for the jury to rely on it?
