Death Row on a Lie: Bob Motta on the Wrongful Yogurt Shop Convictions in Austin

Death Row on a Lie: Bob Motta on the Wrongful Yogurt Shop
Convictions in Austin
In this second segment of Hidden Killers Live, Bob Motta reacts
to the most painful revelation of the press conference: the
state’s admission that Michael Scott and Robert
Springsteen were innocent all along. Convicted in 2001
and 2002 on the basis of confessions extracted after 18‑ and
5‑hour interrogations, these men served years behind bars — one
on death row — for crimes they didn’t commit.

Bob takes us inside the mechanics of coerced confessions. He
explains how long hours, suggestion, minimization, and tunnel
vision can make innocent people say anything to end an
interrogation. He also lays out why juries still believe these
confessions, even when no physical evidence supports them, and
why prosecutors keep pushing cases that DNA has already
undermined.

This isn’t just about one bad case in Austin. It’s about a system
that prioritizes “solved” over “proven” — and the lives ruined
when that shortcut becomes policy.
