3:10 Wrongful convictions and false confessions

The true crime documentary series, Making a Murderer, became a global phenomenon when it first aired three years ago featuring the case of Steven Avery and his nephew Brenday Dassey convicted of murdering a woman in Wisconsin. Dassey was 16 at the time and his lawyers say he gave a false confession that led to his conviction. Laura Nirider is Co-Director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth, and says false confessions, dubious interrogation tactics and wrongful convictions are a global problem.
