Edmonds lawmaker wants to stop police from lying in interrogations
Ted Bradford was 22 years old when he confessed to a crime he didn’t commit following over nine and a half hours of police interrogation.
“I thought just give them the statement, give them what they want, they’ll test the evidence they claimed was at the crime scene and this will all be over,” Bradford said during a Washington state House committee hearing on Monday.
Bradford, the first person in Washington to be exonerated by DNA evidence, was testifying in support of House Bill 1062, which would effectively ban police from lying about evidence during suspect interrogation.
“My case and my experience illustrates perfectly why this bill is needed,” said Bradford, who was exonerated in 2010 after serving a full 10-year prison term that ended in 2006.
